Event Details
From 1956 to 1969, Elvis Presley made 31 films, playing the above-the-title star in all but one. That’s an extraordinary achievement and it helped make him one of the wealthiest performers in Hollywood as a result. Unfortunately, Elvis’ dream of being taken seriously as an actor and becoming a true movie star was never fulfilled thanks to his manager Col. Tom Parker. This talk will examine the ups and downs of Presley’s Hollywood career. No registration is needed.
