(126) JULIET PROWSE and ELVIS / G.I. BLUES

Thanks to YouTube we have this original trailer for the movie "G.I. Blues" emphasizing Elvis' past military service. You could say he was cast as a believable character.

NEW VIDEO NEEDED

Juliet Prowse is one co-star that Elvis did have a romance with,a hot one. Juliet had recently been seeing Frank Sinatra and hadn't quite broken up with him yet and I was out in LA and staying with Elvis in his hotel suite while this was going on.

Here's Juliet with Bob Hope and Dean Martin, another YouTube presentation.

Now, we searched for a great Juliet Prowse web site and didn't really find one (so many bios without any photos of her!), so I'll just say a few things about Juliet. She was an easy person to like. She had a positive attitude, was a lot of fun, and she worked hard. She was a professional and so the top talents liked to work with her and have her on their shows. If there is any advice that Juliet would probably give young people starting out in the business, it would probably be to remember that show business is work and to be professional. Her personality and talent set her above so many other dancers and singers and she managed to survive in the business even as the popularity of musicals waned.

She was a talented dancer, first and foremost, though a singer too, and a comedian, known for her especially fabulous shapely legs, and one of the more worldly women that Elvis dated to that point. He was wildly attracted to her and to me living proof that Elvis did not have one "type" of woman he was attracted to. Though in a couple years there would be another dancer and singer he went completely crazy over...
