Washington (ANI): Elvis Presley's ex-lover, actress Cybill Shepherd has revealed that she is still haunted by the 'King of Rock'. The 58-year-old actress, who dated Presley shortly before his death in 1977, said that her ex love still haunts her, as she could helped him get out of his vicious life.
"I don't feel him (Presley) in a way that I feel I have to call Ghostbusters, but I've been haunted by the sense that when I knew him, he was very sweet but also seriously into drugs," Contactmusic quoted her as saying. "So I've been haunted by wishing he could have lived longer because I'm from Memphis and I've had the fame thing, too. Maybe I could have helped him,"

Actress
(born 1950)
All American actress
Born: 1950, Memphis, Tennessee, USA
Full name: Cybill Lynne Shepherd
Height: 5' 8"
At age sixteen Cybill Shepherd won the 1966 Miss Teenage Memphis contest that landed her modelling work through high school and after. Film director Peter Bogdanovich spotted her on the cover of a magazine and offered her a role in The Last Picture Show (1971).
During the filming, the then 20-year-old began an affair with Bogdanovich but left him in 1972 and went to Las Vegas, where she rekindled a relationship with Elvis Presley that began after an introduction in their hometown of Memphis.
Years later, in an interview with E! television, Shepherd spoke of the relationship with Presley, saying, "He was a wonderful lover, very sexy."

However, in a candid 2002 interview on Larry King Live, she told King, "the Elvis that I got to know in Memphis was very different than the Elvis that I got to know later, like in Las Vegas. I just noticed that he was unavailable in a way. And then later on, and years, years later, I would read and find out that he had like two other women there at the same time."
During Shepherd's time with Presley, Bogdanovich continued to pursue her, and when the relationship with Presley ended, the infatuated Bogdanovich gave her the starring role in his 1974 film, Daisy Miller. Based on the Henry Miller novella, the nature of Shepherd's role required a seasoned actress, and both her performance and the film were panned by the critics. It proved to be a box office failure. Unfortunately, before Daisy Miller was released, filming was already underway on At Long Last Love, and the second Bogdanovich production with Shepherd in the lead role proved a major and humiliating disaster that seriously impaired both of their careers.
Shepherd did receive good reviews for her work in Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver (1976), but after a series of flops, she left show business in 1978 after completing filming on the less than successful remake The Lady Vanishes and moved back to Memphis, where she quickly married.
Her return to the screen in 1980s The Return was another catastrophe that seemed to spell the end of her acting career. After an absence of several years, however, Shepherd auditioned for and won a co-starring role opposite Bruce Willis in the television series, Moonlighting. A lighthearted combination of mystery and comedy, it won Shepherd two Golden Globe awards for her role as Maddie Hayes on the popular show. Shepherd married her second husband and then gave birth to twins during the series's run, which helped precipitate its demise.
In the 1990s she starred in Cybill, a television sitcom, in which the title character was roughly modelled on herself: an actress struggling with hammy parts in B movies and bad soaps, a role for which she won her third Golden Globe award.
In 2001, Shepherd published her memoirs Cybill Disobedience (How I Survived Beauty Pageants

"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
I saw this last night. thanks for posting.
She says shes had the fame thing too!
Sorry Cybill who?
Ok....she had a bit of a thing with Elvis, but she needs a reality check if she thinks she could have helped him.
A few things for Cybil...
Elvis didn't like his women to work ( It's apparently true - Ann Margaret - but then again had Elvis and Ann moved in together im not so sure would she have continued performing ..... Elvis didn't share the spotlight with anyone and had no need to )
I don't see Cybil recounting any stories about challenging him on his drug use. ( She has been lurid enough about other things that happened between herself and Elvis - a little bit too lurid. IMO she ain't no Southern Belle.)
Thirdly....had he lived longer does she really think he would have had a serious interest in her?! Unlikely.
And Elvis would want to haunt her because????? The women is a narissitic delusional old hag.
