    Producer Jerry Weintraub comments on Col. Parker

    Jerry Weintraub broke up a fight at Elvis Presley's funeral, wooed Julia Roberts with $20, and played party planner to George H.W. Bush during the producer's more than 50 years in Hollywood.
    In his new memoir, "When I Stop Talking, You'll Know I'm Dead," due out in April, Weintraub details his highs, lows and moments of comeuppance as a film producer and manager of Presley, Frank Sinatra and John Denver, to name a few.
    His story includes how at Elvis Presley's funeral, his father, Vernon, and his manager, Col. Tom Parker, argued about whether it was appropriate to sell Elvis-themed mementos to mourners in the street. Weintraub relates, "I got between them and said something like, 'What's wrong with you guys? The body's in the next room. We're about to leave for the funeral. Have some respect.'
    "What a bizarre moment, the entire world gathered around the house in tears, and in a room in the house, the old man and the Colonel arguing about T-shirts."
