The most amazing thing about the world of entertainment is the "little known facts," the glorious behind-the-scenes moments which bring to light a different side to the glitz and glamour. Here are a few links to some entertainers you may have thought had no connection to Elvis; a few surprises which also include Elvis having had the chance to meet his childhood favorites of the silver screen.
'Deana, this is Elvis Presley. And, Elvis, this is my daughter Deana.’... and [Elvis] leans down to me and says, ‘Deana, they call me the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. But your dad is the King of Cool.’ And I thought, Oh my gosh. It must be true. Elvis Presley said so!
Some of the stories are thoroughly entertaining in that they reveal connections Elvis had with other stars, some of them he had admired since childhood. For years he had grown up watching Abbott and Costello, and the Three Stooges, on the big screen. He would then go home and mimick them to a fault. Could he have ever imagined that one day he would outshine many of his heroes.
