Okay, I missed the anniversary of Elvis Presley's' death by a couple of days, but these clips are too good not to share; they start with Kurt Russell as a Disney child actor with Presley in It Happened at the World's Fair (1963) and ends with a tribute Russell did for Turner Classic Movies.Russell With Elvis
Russell as Elvis (Elvis — the Movie, 1979)
Russell as "Elvis" (3000 Miles to Graceland, 2001)
Russell on Elvis
All of the TCM remembrance pieces that I have seen have been really well done. Love the story about Bing Russell's hat!
ReplyDeleteI'd never seen one before, but if they're all as well down as the Russell/Elvis piece I'll seek out some others.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Bing Russell's hat is memorable...
The best ones are those narrated by Hollywood legends who worked with the stars themselves...
