Getlo - cute'n'cuddly
Right, he was on or just under 6' tall and had light hazel eyes. Also read somewhere else that his shoe size was 10-1/2.
Thanks for the info Jen
Diane
thats the internet for you, some things are always going to be untrue.
Are these not blue? Why are they soooo blue in some pics and not in others?
Hi Diane
I heard Elvis was 6'0 and 1/2 inch
I think his eyes were blue as I have seen pictures
Interesting stuff thank you for posting.
His eyes always looked blue to me in pictures...
"How do I get placed in situations like this? Ah hell, I guess it's all part of showbusiness "~ Elvis in his limo on his way to perform in Omaha, NE on June 19th 1977
Light hazel eyes do look blue but pictures are never accurate because of lighting etc. Light hazel eyes are a blue/gray with flecks of green and brown. Dark hazel eyes are basically brown and green. My husband has these.
My son has light hazel eyes and everyone calls them blue...but they're not. From what I saw of Elvis on stage from 8 feet away, his eyes were light hazel as he himself claimed.
Very few people have true blue eyes.
Diane
I've also seen so many pics where Elvis' eyes looked so blue...Are these not blue? Why are they soooo blue in some pics and not in others?
Thanks, for posting Jen.
franny
The army showed Elvis as being just a hair under 6 feet. I have heard for a jillion years that he wore a size 11 shoe and a size 9 ring. Those long, thin fingers of his.....
Musician hands....yes.
Diane
Rosanne, why did you have to and say that....now I need ANOTHER shower!!!!!!!!!The army showed Elvis as being just a hair under 6 feet. I have heard for a jillion years that he wore a size 11 shoe and a size 9 ring. Those long, thin fingers of his.....

I'd have to ask where these records come from. Because as far as I know he lived on Poplar till at least June of 1951.
http://usuarios.lycos.es/elvistcb/links0.html
I have read that Elvis' eye colour was hazel as well but after seeing many close-up photos of him,his eyes were a deep blue! At his army weigh in,Elvis was 5feet 11inches tall.
The One and Only King of Rock'n'Roll.
