In 1969, Elvis Presley released his final two movies in acting roles. Change of Habit was the last but the penultimate was The Trouble with Girls, which was shot in October 1968 just before the release of his iconic Comeback Special.
This month’s Elvis Week 2022 saw The King’s The Trouble with Girls co-star Marlyn Mason make an energetic appearance.
The sprightly 82-year-old is one of three women alongside Nancy Sinatra and Ann-Margret to have recorded music with the music icon.
During the interview at Graceland, the actress shared how the first time she met Elvis he said: “I apologise, [hair stylist] Mary Keats just dyed my eyelashes and eyebrows.”
Mason thought: “Wow! This man doesn’t have an ego, he’s talking to me like I’m his best girlfriend!” However, without thinking, what she said next totally shocked The King.
Mason revealed: “The saddest thing he ever said to me and it’s the only thing I remember word for word that he said to me was, ‘I’d like to make one good film because I know people in this town laugh at me.’ It was sad because he’d have been great.
Tragically, Elvis’ uncompromising manager Colonel Tom Parker blocked The King from starring in what turned out to be Oscar-winning movies like True Grit with John Wayne and A Star Is Born with Barbra Streisand.
Nevertheless, the likes of Viva Las Vegas and King Creole (the star’s favourite of his movies) are ones his fans should be proud of on his behalf.
