Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret were explosive together. He bought her a pink bed, they played sexy animal games, and a furious Priscilla threw vases at the wall back at Graceland.
Elvis and Ann-Margret couldn t control their electrifying attraction to each other. When Elvis thrust his pelvis, mine slammed forward, she said. He called her Thumper and she later confessed, He wanted us to marry.
Both Elvis and Streisand were performing at the International Hotel in Las Vegas during this period, so were well aware of each other’s talents.
However, once again The Colonel’s demands regarding The King’s contract meant he never made the movie.
Graceland archives still have the proposed agreement which included $1000 a week in expenses and First Class transportation to all locations.
The Colonel also wanted Elvis to have first position credit and 100 per cent of the title above the title of the movie.
