December ,1962
As much as Elvis enjoyed dominating the action out in the rink, this night he spent a good deal of time sitting in the seats over by me. It wasn't me he was interested in staying close to, though. He wanted to be near a very special guest he'd brought to the rink for the first time— a young lady named Priscilla Beaulieu.
I'd first heard about a girl named Priscilla during Elvis's phone calls from Germany in the fall of 1959. Given all the Graceland parties, road adventures, and Hollywood times I'd shared with Elvis, we'd talked about a lot of girls, and he'd always spoken affectionately of Anita Wood. But when I heard him talk about Priscilla, it was the first time I ever heard him sound like a guy who was HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE . I don't remember there being a big breakup scene with Anita, but once Elvis met Priscilla, that was the beginning of the end of whatever plans for the future Elvis and Anita had discussed.
For three years now, Elvis had been telling me that Priscilla was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen, and when I first met her at Graceland before we all headed out to the rink that night, I could finally see what Elvis had been talking about: Priscilla was drop-dead gorgeous. She was young; she'd only been fourteen when she and Elvis met in Germany, and now she was seventeen. But she had a calm and a poise to her that made her seem much older. She was quiet and understandably a little awed by the world she was stepping into. But Elvis was so gentle and thoughtful toward her, as I got to see throughout our night at the Rainbow, that it was pretty obvious his feelings for her were stronger than ANYTHING HE’D FELT BEFORE.
