The Elvis Collection: 70's Scrapbook 19

Article about Priscilla.  Judging by the note in the margin, there was more to it, but it's not here.  I think that's grandma's handwriting.  Relatives were sending Elvis articles to mom after his death.


The big article is on Kurt Russell playing Elvis in a TV movie.  It only mentions him being in a bunch of Disney movies as a kid, so this was before Kurt became a big movie star (though after his short career in minor league baseball, including playing for the El Paso Sun Kings).  The Elvis movie did well in the ratings and critically.  However, read that Pen Pal article on the left.  Elvis had a correspondence with a poor little sick girl in Sweden.  It's tragic and sweet.



Really interesting commentary.  This guy saw Elvis perform in Albuquerque in 1956.



Mom did not agree with this verdict.


How Elvis died was a constant controversial story after his death.
