Life With Elvis
Thompson never knew a life of glamor and glitz like the one she had with Elvis. She got along well with Elvis Presley’s group of friends, the self-described “Memphis mafia,” and she made every effort to further his career by going to all of his performances. Still, there were moments when everything felt cramped. The two lived a nocturnal existence, rising at nine o’clock at night, and spent their entire day together.
Although Thompson was aware of Elvis Prescription Drug Dependency from an early age, the rock singer refused to acknowledge he had a problem. She remained loyal to him, but things were going to get very bad.
