Elvis Presley ‘modified 17-year-old’s life’ after they spent the evening collectively
Elvis Presley had dates and flings with actresses throughout America within the Sixties and Seventies when he was at his hottest.
In 1968, he went to Las Vegas to hang around and walked right into a bar the place Elvira, Mistress of the Dark was working. At the time, she was recognized simply as Cassandra Peterson and had moved to Las Vegas after watching the King’s film Viva Las Vegas.
After Elvis and the 17-year-old Elvira hit it off, he inspired her to hitch him in his resort – after which issues bought critical.
“He invited me to a party at his suite,” Elvira recalled to Closer. “Along with lots of other people, and he really kind of took to me, I think because I was 17, and probably all the other showgirls there were in their 30s.”
Elvis was famously obsessive about younger ladies. He first met Priscilla Presley and began a relationship together with her when she was simply 14-years-old. Despite this reality, the 17-year-old Elvira spent the evening with the singer and what occurred is perhaps extraordinarily shocking to followers of the King.

“I loved Elvis,” Elvira mentioned. “I had grown up with Elvis being one of my idols. My parents were giant Elvis fans. The fact that I was meeting him was beyond belief.”
Going into particulars about their evening collectively, she recalled: “We did hang out one whole evening, a whole night, the next morning.”
What did they do, although? “Mostly talked, believe it or not,” she confessed – effectively, virtually. “There was some kissing going on. But Elvis was watched very closely since they [his entourage] were aware that I was [very young].”
Despite the actual fact they have been getting scorching and heavy in his suite, Elvira confirmed he was nothing however a gentleman.
She mentioned: “He couldn’t have been more wonderful and I really do credit him with changing my life. I, at the time, thought I had reached the pinnacle of show business, becoming a Las Vegas showgirl. Elvis convinced me that this was no town for a young girl to be in, by herself, and that it would not lead to bigger and better things.”
She went on to say Elvis gave her the “best advice in the world”, earlier than including that he informed her to pursue a singing profession and get out of Las Vegas.
Elvis’ recommendation was proper. Shortly thereafter, Cassandra Peterson remodeled into Elvira, Mistress of the Dark and constructed a fruitful profession on being spooky and horny.
She even bought her personal characteristic movie – Elvira, Mistress of the Dark – which hit cinemas in 1988.
She has since continued to play her gothic goddess in cameos and TV exhibits even lately, at 71-years-old.
