How to get access to Elvis' bedroom at Graceland

[Miss Clawdy]

didn't Oprah get upstairs? but then she was with Lisa, sorry my memory fails me.
this is completely excessive, i can understand being strict with tourists, but employees?

Isn't Oprah a close relative of the Presley's ?

and then i remember reading about Elvis finding fans swimming in his pool and merely telling them to be careful! what a difference several decades make.

Yes, a cool reaction and what a difference! Last year the Puddle of Mud guy
got a lifelong ban from Graceland for jumping into the pool......

Oprah´s a close relative?

Ya....im sure you can make most people a relative if you try hard enough.

Suffice to say Elvis didn´t know who she is and Lisa or Priscilla woulden´t care if she wasnt so famous.

Oprah didn't go upstairs. She was taken to a secret archive room at Graceland (somewhere there on the grounds) and got the chance to see some stuff of Elvis's that hadn't been seen in public.

I agree...I think the "Oprah being a cousin" bit has worn out it's welcome.

That's where she said she is a relative, a cousin or whatever....

Someone just did a geneology on Elvis ,can't remember her name.
She said Oprah and Elvis were not related ; as she traced back and none of the Presleys ever had slaves. {that was how they were supposed to be related}
I don't think Elvis would have cared though.

I don´t think Elvis would have been all over her or having her for dinner at Graceland either.

Well...he wasnt one to court the stars and its well known he disliked the Hollywood scene.

Seeing as hes dead and never met Oprah or knew who she was we won´t know the answer...but we can specualte that it would be out of character for him to do it. You can read about it in books and maybe speak to people who knew him and come to the conclusion that it would be unlikely.
