Did Elvis hook up w/ Julie Adams??



Anyone know the history? I could assume that she was happy to give it up for the King, but I never would for I have such respect for Julie.


Did you tell LUKE..? Is THAT who you could tell??

No. He was too busy 'hooking' with Jocelyn Lane. He didn't go for his more mature leading ladies (i.e. Adams, Barbara Stanwyck, Angela Lansbury, Lola Albright, Joanna Moore, Joan Blondell). He respected the Mamas.

Elvis's reputation was that he didn't "hook up" with married women. Since Julie Adams was married when they worked together, then it is a safe bet that nothing happened between them. On the other hand, if his attractive female co-stars were NOT married, then the odds are pretty good that they were "hooking up" :)

You can judge for yourself, but in Sonny West's book "Elvis: Still Taking Care of Business" he did a pretty thorough job in addressing who he believed Elvis was and was not "hooking up" with during the movies years. Here's what he had to say about Jocelyn Lane:

Jocelyn was British, and her beauty, brains, and dynamite body were offset by her snooty attitude. The other actresses mocked her behind her back. She warmed up to Elvis, though, but I'm not sure if they had anything going. I heard a few years later that she became a princess when she married into British royalty.

As for Joanna Moore (who was NOT married when they worked together), mentioned in the previous post, he had this to say:

Actress Joanna Moore, his costar in Follow That Dream, one night showed up at the Perugia Way house around 11:00 demanding to see Elvis. They'd had a little off-set romance, but Joanna was quite possessive, and Elvis broke it off. Now she was sobbing and saying that she was pregnant - and that she had taken a bunch of sleeping pills. We carted her off to the UCLA emergency room, where Joanna's stomach was pumped. The doctors told us she wasn't pregnant. We never saw Joanna again except for on television or in a movie magazine. She later married actor Ryan O'Neal. They had two children, actress Tatum and a son, Griffin.

Jocelyn married into Spanish Royalty not British. Jocelyn did have a sexual relationship with a co-star in this film, Not Elvis though, but Jack Mullaney who played Stanley the poor mans Jerry Lewis character...Tony Curtis talked extensively about their torrid and sometimes Violent sexual relationship in HOLLYWOOD BABYLON , a relationship that lasted 10 years and nearly destroyed her marriage ...it ended in 1976 when Jack Mullaney walked into their kitchen at their Hollywood Condo and caught beautiful 39 year old ( looking 25) Jocelyn giving TVs Baretta "Robert Blake" oral sex on her knees... They refused to stop while Hack yelled and watched. Jocelyn completed her act on Bobby and Jack walked out of her life forever. She soon thereafter settled down with her Spanish ProncexHubby devoted her life to him and her trysts and sexual relationships with her Hollywood associates ended Shen her former lover Jack Mullaney died suddenly in 1982 something she privately always blames herself for to this day... Hollywood Babylon
