Kurt Russell and Elvis Presley: A History in Clips...

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.

All of the TCM remembrance pieces that I have seen have been really well done. Love the story about Bing Russell's hat!

I'd never seen one before, but if they're all as well down as the Russell/Elvis piece I'll seek out some others.

And yes, Bing Russell's hat is memorable...
