Seems to me that the last ditch effort of a rat to keep from drowning is to jump from the ship. 40 years ago, Priscilla would have never have sold out Elvis's secrets, not even to defend herself. Now she is claiming suicide, which means she could be guilty of what---lying to the police, false police reports, insurance fraud, lying to the public---if the statues of limitations had not passed.

I noticed Turner Classic Movies isn't showing one of his movies. They decided to make it Miriam Hopkins Day. Today was the day we lost Elvis. They should be showing his movies. I can't believe its been 41 years. I still have my collection. I watched King Creole before. Right now I'm watching Roustabout.

My favorite Elvis movie was Jailhouse Rock. Did you see the Elvis mini-series with Jonathan Rhys Myers as Elvis? It was great.

[–] Champ0425 (143) 6 years ago

Yeah, I liked the mini-series. I also liked the one where Kurt Russell played Elvis. It was a 1979 TV movie. Good movie. Kurt Russell did a great job.
