Elvis with the great great Barbara Stanwyck during filming of ROUSTABOUT
Dear Elvis, your eyelashes are so long that they are casting a vast shadow. Just thought you should know I appreciated that. Love, Sheila.
Always had time for his fans.

Elvis as a teenager, with two neighbors. Still a growing boy, but already confident - look at his body language.
I love this one. It is so intense. It really speaks to how Elvis treated the microphone, even in private, as a one-on-one conduit to his fans. You can see it in his face. Dec. 1, 1955.
Dec. 1, 1955: Recording/photo shoot at RCA in New York. Hard to believe he’s only 20 years old. What an exciting time for him.
