This permanent A list singer/actor had a very important rule when it came to the women he would sleep with.
He would ask his assistant to check out four or five women each night and get information from them.
They had to be under the age of 30.
They were asked for i.d. to prove it. If they were under 20, they moved to the front off the line and were almost guaranteed to sleep with our A lister.
If they were not legal but had a fake i.d. that could pass muster they were his keeper for the night or as long as he was in town.
His assistant would ask questions about diseases and sexual histories.
The women must never have given birth or been pregnant.
He was OK with them being previously married.
One thing that would disqualify you was if you had another girlfriend with you.
He hated threesomes.
His biggest rule was that none of the women should have ever slept with a man of color.
Any color other than bright white.
That was a deal breaker even if she was 16 with a great i.d.
He would pass those women off to one off his best friends who was equally as talented.
Elvis Presley
Friends: Tom Jones or Jerry Lee Lewis
Elvis Presley, aged 24, first encountered Priscilla Beaulieu, then 14, in 1959, when stationed in West Germany during his military service. Despite their age difference, Elvis was captivated by Priscilla’s resemblance to his late mother and saw potential in molding her into his ideal partner. Their initial meeting, arranged through Priscilla’s stepfather, sparked an intense connection. She wore a sailor dress to their first encounter at Elvis’ temporary home, where he serenaded her with songs like “Are You Lonesome Tonight?”
Elvis was drawn to Priscilla’s youth and impressionability, believing he could shape her according to his desires. Over time, their relationship deepened, leading to her parents’ reluctant approval for continued visits. Priscilla’s determination to be with Elvis, even threatening to run away if denied, underscored her commitment despite societal and parental concerns.
Their bond evolved as Priscilla moved to Memphis and lived with Elvis at Graceland, where he exerted significant control over her appearance and lifestyle. While their relationship remained chaste until their marriage in 1967, Elvis’s influence extended to cosmetic dentistry and fashion choices, molding Priscilla into what she described as “Elvis’ living doll.”
Despite the facade of a fairy-tale romance, their marriage faced challenges, exacerbated by Elvis’s demanding career and Priscilla’s growing desire for independence. Their sexual relationship didn’t begin until their wedding night, and the pressures of fame and Elvis’s infidelities strained their union. Ultimately, they divorced amicably in 1973, though Priscilla remained deeply affected by Elvis’s death in 1977, expressing profound grief and writing about their complex relationship in her memoir.
Today, Priscilla’s perspective on their relationship is portrayed in the biopic “Priscilla,” directed by Sofia Coppola, which explores their love, complexities, and the lasting impact of their bond on both their lives and public perception.
