Introduction

• This web page is a tribute to one of the greatest human beings in recorded history. Elvis Aaron Presley, who born to a poor family in Tupelo, Mississippi in 1935, rose to fame as an entertainer, movie actor and as a humanitarian. One of the things that made Elvis so fascinating was that throughout his entire life, he was able to maintain the admirable demeanor of a true Southern gentleman.

• I love The King. I hope you do too, or that you will at least learn to like Him!

Is Elvis Still Making Movies?

• Is the King still making movies?  Well no, not actually, but in the last several years, Elvis Presley Enterprises brought Elvis concert footage to the big screen and took it on tour as a concert.
• Also, Elvis started making TV commercials for the tourist industry in his native Tennessee.  Click here to see the first of these commercials that he made with fellow Tennessee native, Miss Dolly Parton. (This actually very well done and Elvis has never looked better!)

Elvis' Step-Brother, David Stanley Has Just Made a New Elvis Move - Protecting the King

Statement by David Stanley:
"Protecting The King is my story about my loss and the message I've tried to bring to the public about the dangers of prescription drug abuse. I've been telling this story in different mediums for over 30 years. Now we've lost Michael - a carbon copy of Presley's death. How many more kings must die before we get the message?"

Visit the website: http://www.protectingtheking.com

This is a real life Photo of David Stanley with The King,
1976. David is now known as D. Edward Stanley, but
Protecting the King is based on his stories about working
for and with The King in his last years.  This is a must-see
for Elvis Fans everywhere.
