I miss those days, of every week going to someone’s home, watching Elvis movies and the record player full blast, all day, while talking about Elvis, and raising money for his favorite charities, two I remember best, The Burn Center at Children’s Hospital at St Jude’s and Baptist Memorial, both in Memphis, and the Los Angeles Wayfair Station, In L.A. Lance also played in at least 5 movies with Elvis, and was the Military guy was drove the jeep, in The A Team, with Mr. There were others in the club, Joe Espisito, the blonde in Kissin Cousin’s, who’s name I can’t spell, but have the autograph, I can’t read, but his name is pronounced, Lance Le go. She told us wonderful stories about her life with him, and his women, but especially Lisa Marie. I had left the group when my husbands job moved, so I followed him this time.
Roy passed away in the late 90’s or very early 2000’s. She had pix of him on her walls, some were the same pix and posters I have on mine, and had back then. He took her house hunting, and wanted to buy her a mansion, as he said, she deserved it, but she only wanted a simple little house in So Central L.A. When he was making Charro, and Change of Habit, it was too much for her to travel back and forth, so he asked her if she would like to live in Los Angeles, she was so happy to be near her own family.
she also worked as a cook, and housekeeper from the early 60’s until he left. I belonged to the first Elvis Fan Club in Los Angeles, from late 80’s to mid 90’s, and met one of his Nannies, she was there when he married Cilla, and Lisa was born. He was a step ahead of all of them, and fired all of them, but they got the books out just before he left.
and of course they wrote those books making him appear to be strung out on drugs, to cover their own butts. People should not judge what they do not know. Too many people say he was addicted to drugs, when in fact, it was his “BOYS”, who got the meds from the pharmacies, and gave them to unsuspecting girls, telling them that Elvis wanted to meet them after his concerts, and just girls walking down the street. I know he did have cardiac failure, and other illnesses, but his long time battle with his intestines, and his phobia of the world to learn he had this embarrassing illness is what killed him. Actually, if you google, or look at any medical site, and type in intestinal disease Elvis died from, you will get that he died from, Hirschbueger’s Disease.
