because it is is personal life, where the sense of him as a person is

I think there may be a difference between female and male fans on this divide of his life vs his work

I understand about personal life. But I don't think any girlfriend played a very longlasting important role in Elvis' life. Not their fault mind you. They all loved him and cared for him in their own way.

One biopic I would love to see is adaptation of Elaine Dundy's Gladys and Elvis. Now that was a woman who was the most important person in his life.

Austin Butler, hands down. He's - by far - the least annoying and actually manages to get it right more often than not.

Yeah. that would be interesting to see if it would go into the abuse of Elvis by Gladys.....

That book stands out of all the Elvis books

He got mannerisms down, but he seemed more to pose his way through the movie than act

For me:

Michael St. Gerard as a young Elvis, the perfect look!
Austin Butler he nailed it perfect with the '68 footage!

Michel.
