Elvis- His Favorite Lovers According To A Close Confidant! Did Priscilla Presley Make The List? 

We all miss speak at times I accept your apology. Can you accept Priscilla when she misspeaks? Hope so. She is 79 years old! I’m 77, grew up in Chicago and have loved Elvis, ❤ his music, & everything about him❤and his family. My wish is that as a community we could all just be much kinder👍🫶🏻🙏

Well she wasn't mature and he felt the need to be able to talk to people his age I guess. He was taken in by a pretty young face.

@@Mary-d5x6g That sums it up.

@@Mary-d5x6g Yep, Elvis was definitely taken in by a very pretty young face. As much as I dislike Priscilla, she WAS a real beauty, and although she was only 14 years old and not particularly intelligent in my opinion, she certainly had something we used to call "street smarts". She knew enough to shut up and listen to a man who was still grieving over the recent loss of his beloved mother. She presented herself as the shy demure quiet little girl with a compassionate and sympathetic and caring ear. Elvis should never have poured his heart out to someone so young and someone he didn't really know. The timing was perfect for Cilla and her parents. He is in Germany, his mother had recently died, and she was the only American call he could talk to with ease. All the other girls around him were German who spoke little or no English. Elvis, I believe, given his circumstances at the time, was ripe for the plucking. The connection and bond between them was established. However, when Elvis returned to the States it didn't last long and it was Priscilla who kept the relationship going all be it from a distance. According to Anita Wood who was with him in Graceland and had been waiting for his return, Priscilla was sending endless letters to Elvis and making plenty of phone calls. In one letter Anita Wood states that Priscilla was begging Elvis to bring her to Graceland to live with him.....Priscilla harassed Elvis relentlessly and he finally caved in. That was Elvis's huge huge mistake. That is precisely what painted him into the corner he couldn't get out of and eventually forced him to marry her. The Beaulieu's knew exactly what they were doing! It really was a very well-orchestrated trap that Elvis Presley fell into. He should have just gone on with his life and forgotten about her which he actually was doing but she had his phone number and his address, and her chase was on. Elvis did care for priscilla he was grateful for her sympathetic ear while he was in Germany. She was an exceptionally beautiful girl and Elvis probably also felt a sense of indebtedness to her, in addition to his attraction to her beauty. ...BUT... Elvis did NOT really love Priscilla in the way a man truly loves a woman. Had she not been doing all the pursuing Elvis would have married Anita Wood whom Gladys his mother adored and who he was planning on marrying. Elvis did NOT leave Anita for Priscilla. It was Anita who walked out on Elvis, when she found out about this pip squeak kid in Germany writing to him continually and begging to be brought to Graceland. When Anita walked out Elvis was crying his eyes out. Oh boy enough for the time being. I'll just finish by saying the story that Priscilla has dished up to the public for near on 50 years now about how she met Elvis, and the great love they had for each other is a myth. AS far as Elvis is concerned his feelings for Priscila were nothing more than an obligation, he couldn't get out of. It was a misplaced sense of obligation at that, because he owed her nothing. Priscilla's agenda and that of her coaching mother in particular, was to get Priscilla ensconced in Elvis 's home while she was still legally a minor. They knew they had him then, whether he wanted her or not after that I think was irrelevant to them. They trapped him into a position where he would no longer have a choice, and that is exactly what happened to Elvis. Elvis married a woman he didn't love and didn't want. Don't be fooled by the wedding film footage where everyone is all smiles. Elvis cared about Priscilla Beaulieu; Elvis never loved Priscilla Beaulieu, there is a big difference between the two emotions. Priscilla herself unfortunately didn't even care about Elvis the man. For her and her parents it was always about Elvis the Mega Icon, and the name on the marquee. Their eyes were on the fame, wealth, .and status it would bring their daughter and by extension bring her family as well .. and her short-lived marriage to Elvis did just that .

​@andrewmiller4885bravo💯💯💯👏👏👏👏

​@@andrewmiller4885 And the cherry on top to keep the money flowing was getting pregnant...

I agree. It was about revenge and getting fired out of the blue with no severance pay that amounted to anything. I get that. What went wayyyy over the line to me was the call he taped with Elvis when he KNEW he would be drugged up. I think that’s what killed Elvis - - having his image tarnished like that publicly.

I agree with you on why Sonny and Red wrote that book, for revenge. Their thoughts at the time. We don't get paid after all we did for you, we will hurt your reputation by telling it all. With all my heart I believe Sonny and Red regretted writing that book. They were deeply hurt when Vernon fired them the way he did. I also believe they asked for forgiveness for doing it. Now who I do not believe regretted writing it was Dave Hebler, for the fact up until recently he was still talking all that crap about Elvis and still promoting it. And never once acted like there was anything wrong with it.

I agree, some say when the book came out that both he and red said they were misquoted in several parts of the book. Lisa said it finished her father mentally. She also said they were worse than her father, they did things in front of her that were not right. Leaving Playboy magazines around the house. she called them slithering bastards.

Elvis was hurt about the drug addiction part he couldn't stand for people to state he was a drug addict. The women in his life SPOT ON.

Ann didn’t have a drinking problem because of Elvis, her father died and that destroyed her for a very long time, that‘s why she started to drink and had a problem. Elvis actually wanted her back but Ann told him no because she was already married and it was to late.

@@roselamoure I know, I read her book

@@roselamoure It could have been a combination of things, including that she fell off the stage and broke the bones in one side of her face.

Roger must have been such a sweetheart. He let her go to Elvis' funeral without complaining. He really loved Ann.

❤🎉❤🎉. I could be wrong but I doubt that Elvis and Ann Margaret would have had a good or happy marriage. Most people don't see the other side with this couple. Ann was very career oriented and she was very driven. Her loving parents spent a lot of time and money on Ann's singing and dancing and acting lessons. Ann was not the type to sit in a beautiful Memphis house just waiting for Elvis to come back home while she would raise their child. Ann would sense that Elvis was fooling around. Most women would not put up with this way of life. The Memphis Mafia members would have been thrown out in a minute and Elvis would have been in the middle of that fight. Ann wanted privacy like most women. I'm sure she wouldn't want to come down to the breakfast table to hear all those men burping and belching until lunch and dinner everyday! She also would have been living too far away from her parents. Ann wanted her dreams to fulfill her. She wouldn't want to be just sitting in Elvis's Memphis living room drumming her well polished fingernails waiting for Elvis to return from a long tour. Physically and socially and emotionally and mentally I do think these two would be compatible though. Their humor and their love of friends and family life and motorcycles and music and movies would have kept them together too. However Ann would not have liked Elvis's poor management of his finances or suddenly shooting off his massive gun collection. Elvis's drug and pill addictions and his attraction to very young girls would have completely floored Ann! Ann would probably listened to Elvis when he spoke sadly about the loss of his mother and Elvis probably would have understood Ann's heartbreak when she lost her beloved father. But Elvis would not have married a woman who was spiritually not as deep as he was. Ann Margaret always believed in God but Elvis was more of a searcher. Fast forward to 2024 and Ann Margaret is said to be much more devout. I do however picture Ann Margaret ( or Mrs. Gladys Presley had she lived ) kicking Colonel Parker to the curb - something Elvis should have done in the EARLY 1960's!! ( I often thought that Parker should have been shipped back to Amsterdam to face his crimes then Elvis could tour overseas - Parker would have been in a real prison and Elvis would finally get out of his mental prison - he needed to tour worldwide. ) Both Elvis and Ann could both be stubborn and spoiled and strong willed and very sensuous and yet sensible and highly competitive and romantic. Like most couples Ann and Elvis had their attractions but also their divisions.... just my opinions here. Priscilla Beauliu was Elvis Presley's failure but Roger Smith was Ann Margaret's success. Their lives took two completely different paths. Sad. God bless you all. ❤🎉❤🎉

Priscilla actually went back on that story years ago. She went on the Loose Women show and in the Guardian magazine and said that she and Elvis had been having sex all along! I think that was just an excuse for the affair she had when Lisa was only four months old. Then later, of course, she went back to telling the original story that he wouldn't have sex with her.

The Asian girl from "Stay Away Joe" said she later dated Elvis and she had a son, that she had never heard Elvis say anything like that. Elvis already knew Priscilla was seeing the dance instructor and stop messing with her. He was blind sided by Mike Stone though

@@Mary-d5x6g Can you remember the Asian girl's name so I could look her up?

​@MartaArroyoHerrero-cs4hf Ella dijo que un tiempo y luego volvió a la normalidad. Y puede ser, Elvis tenía algunos traumas que fue superando.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. He cared about Cilla but it wasn't love, Not the real love between a man and a woman.

Yes I know it's hard to believe that Riley went against her mom Lisa Marie because Lisa wouldn't have let her be buried there because she knew her dad would not have wanted that

Elvis said Percilla was a cold hearted person and he tried to get her to soften up

@@debbiebowman1830 only God can do that I don't think anybody can get her to soften up she's too stuck on herself evidently All she thinks about is money she's lost everything she had it all she had a husband and she had a daughter and all she could think about is money jealous of her daughter and threw away a marriage and everybody wants to blame Elvis of his affairs what about hers

@@sherroncunningham7845You’re so right! What many don’t know is that Priscilla’s stories about pining away for Elvis after he left Germany are lies. She hopped from lover to lover, deceiving Elvis, and causing her groomer parents much grief for fear that her promiscuity and deceit, if exposed, could torpedo their dreams. She was as promiscuous as Elvis. She just abstained for a few years after moving to Graceland, until she got that ring on her finger. That play-acting must have greatly galled and infuriated her, to judge how swiftly, and with such ferocity and vindictive glee, she returned to her wanton ways after the forced marriage took place.

@@Mary-bk2wj as much as I love Lisa I just wished he would have married somebody else somebody that would have really loved him and cared about him not anybody like her

Истинные слова.

🎯

Spot on Rainbow. She would love people to think otherwise but Larry Geller said she was never his soulmate. She lacked human warmth and empathy.

Perfect statement could not have agreed more. Priscilla became nothing more than an obligation for Elvis, that's why he married her and yeah sure he was furious when she ran off with Mike Stone, but it was his pride and ego that were wounded, NOT his heart. Priscilla knew all that, so YES, hence all her disparaging remarks about Elvis all these decades. Great comment.

@cherylspencer8024 You are absolutely right , full agreement with you on that .

As she once said, he was every father's son, every generals soldier, every mother boy, everybody saw him in their own way. I hope sometime there will be an interview of the adorable Johnny Lang who was in Elvis' platoon in Germany, he is now 87 and is still telling about how he loved his friend Elvis who liked him for Elvis the person. So good.

Linda claims she was with Elvis 4 and a half years. What Linda doesn't tell us though is the fact that her relationship with Elvis was sort of on and off . Elvis had other woman coming in and tour with him, and sleep with him too, while Linda during those periods was set up in a condo in L.A. There was Sheila Ryan, and Mindi Miller and another long blonde hair beauty called Diana though can't think of her surname. Elvis was never faithful to any woman. They were being juggled around believe me. Linda was not always with Elvis on tour that was only in the first year of their relationship. Just remembered Diana's surname was Goodman, so Diana Goodman. She was a short relationship, but he squeezed her in too while with Linda Thompson. Don't get me wrong I love Elvis . He was the greatest entertainer this world of ours will ever have, and he was a kind sweet and generous man who cared about people. But he could be a real stinker when it came to all the girls. Mind you they all benefited enormously from him. Elvis just gave and gave and gave to them, Cloths entire wardrobes, expensive, brand new beautiful cars extremely expensive stunning Jewlery, and he did treat them all with love care and complete respect . Not one girl in the many he had, has ever had an unkind word to say about him,... except Priscilla Beaulieu.

A fourteen year old is not a child. Yes, Anita would have loved Elvis and comforted him after his mother's death but she was not there to do that in Germany.

I have read that Anita wanted to go to Germany with Elvis but the Tom Parker stopped it by saying it would hurt his image.

@@stacyhastert1286 So sad. That could have changed everything.

@@saphireblue3563 Definitely. If Gladys had lived, she would have gone with him. That's just my opinion anyways.

@@stacyhastert1286 Well when Elvis left for the army, Gladys was still alive.

Except for Ginger Alden, none of his love interests looked like Priscilla in any way. Joyce Bova had the big, 1960's era hair like Priscilla but looked nothing like her. Linda Thompson was blonde during the last couple years of her time with Elvis. Anita Wood was blonde, Sheila was more of a blonde than brunette. I also watched the Definitive Elvis set, including the interview with Sheila. You're correct, she was very matter-of-fact, nothing fake or pretentious about her. Also agree with your sentiments about Sonny West. He seemed to be a good man.

Thanks for that well, in depth comment! I enjoyed reading that

That is correct. I will add a note in the description. What I meant to say was that Elvis left there germany in 1960 in 1960 was pretty much the beginning of the relationship because it was kind of toward the end of 1959

@@RareElvisPhotos O.K.

She did Mike Stone...it was over by then

@@leannebrock8230 no that was in the 70's it was her dance instructor i understand

I definitely think that as well, Jennifer! I will do a in depth video on her

Great!! I'm very fascinated with that time period of 1956 and him being with her in his transition to fame.

She has a wonderful interview on Elvis on youtube, she was so sweet.

@jennifer_clevergirl...I loved her book! It was beautifully written. She and Anita were my favorite.

@Elizabeth-dw6lc I have her book too. She said that Elvis wanted to marry her at one point. Thier time together in Biloxi seemed so fun. Looking forward to his video on her.

I think linda understood… but yes i agree. Elvis did try and we will never know how long he would’ve been able to make it being faithful to Priscilla because Priscilla cheated on him first

Yeah Priscilla did put up for years before they got married. They were living together long enough before their wedding. She knew the score going in,, hmm. I wonder why she didn't walk then? I'm afraid I don't buy the excuses offered up for that. Those being that she believed she could change him, or that Elvis would settle down after marriage. Nope doesn't sound feasible to me at all. Perhaps Priscilla stayed and put up with so much before the marriage, because she may have had another agenda, does that sound a little more realistic?

At this time Elvis and Priscilla were separated

Yw melinda!

So glad! Xoxo

HES SPOT ON ABOUT THE WOMEN

@MartaArroyoHerrero-cs4hf That wouldn't surprise me at all...

Heck NO, they were not!

I will. I was just specifically going by what Sunny West had talked about, and Sunny to my knowledge had not mentioned her. She’s very sweet. I’ve talked to her on Facebook. I will definitely do a feature on her.

​@MartaArroyoHerrero-cs4hfscusa Marta potresti spiegare che cosa o lo so o non lo so ,perché ho fatto il commento in base al video forse non ho capito bene, spiegamelo se vuoi, grazie.

Spero che il libro sia tradotto anche l'Italiano. Grazie

Then you might want to go to another channel 😶

I have read all the gf books including Joyce Bova’s and I loved Ann Margret and Joyce the best♥️

Not true. Most Elvis fans hate Priscilla, and for good reason.

So should we lie about the scientology fanatic that put her daughter in the cult at 12?

Love Cilla
