Since seeing the Elvis movie I've become addicted (addiction is in my makeup, lol) to everything Elvis.  He was waaayyy before my time.  But wow, was he smoking or what!  But even more than that he seemed to be a generous, giving man.  He was troubled toward the end of his life and sick in his body but what an Icon he was and still is.

@Northray   Those are his parents, Vernon and Gladys.  Or are you saying he was a perfect blend of his parents looks?

 

I'm confused.  LOL

Yes, he was a perfect blend of his parent's looks.  I always wondered where he got his famous sneer, it was Vernon's.

Wish I could be addicted to Elvis, fewer calories than cheesecake.

Hahaha, true.  Linda Thompson said kissing Elvis was like pressing marshmallows to your lips, *sigh*.  So I bet he probably tasted like cheesecake or at the very least cupcakes.

How in heck do you get rid of that spoiler insert?  Accidentally hit it and couldn't get rid of it.

I thought the movie was very well done.  Ironically we visited Graceland around the release time of the movie.  Just worked out that way, it was actually a trip rescheduled from 2020.   What a great place it is to visit!   I highly recommend it if you haven't been.

Yes, his mouth resembles his dad’s mouth. His eyes seem to be like his mom’s eyes.  And he was a twin. His brother was stillborn.
