I have a writer friend obsessed with Elvis. She wrote this book about him.

Almost made the New York Times Best Seller List. It also describes what happened to Pricilla. She knew Colonel Tom Parker and got most of the information for her book from him.

Might watch the movie but I probably won’t.

I broke down and watched this because there was nothing much else on that I haven’t seen.

Pricilla seems like she wanted everyone to know why she divorced Elvis, lol.

An interesting bookend with Baz Luhrmann's over-the-top Elvis bio from last year.

It is. I actually think the two movies harmonize too, one is the myth, the other interrogates the myth. also, both movies are about the most important people in elvis' life, for good or bad.
