Here we have the King taking a nap during the race in the movie Viva Las Vegas. Either he is very sleepy or very cool… I guess you need to concentrate to be a good driver and sometimes it helps to close your eyes?
I borrowed a few concert DVD’s from the library the other day. One of them was the Elvis Presley ‘68 Comeback Special. They also sold some old Q magazines, I bought a bunch of magazines for only 10 SKr. In one of them there was a list of some of the different jobs Elvis had in his movies. It is quite an impressive and funny list.
- Hawaiian fishing boat captain
- Trapeze artist-turned-lifeguard
- Ex-con-turned-author
- Doctor
- Navy frogman
- Racing car driver
- Judo expert
- Unemployed rodeo rider working at a beauty spa
- Water ski instructor
Elvis starred in a total of 31 movies in his lifetime, and actually spent most of the 1960’s making films.
