      ​@@coogar39 Agree 💯 percent also. She's very pretty too. Beautiful soft spoken talk's with class Linda surley RESPECTS, LOVE'S AND CARE'S FOR ELVIS. Her love for Elvis and all the above I've said comes from her TRUE HEART LINDA has a special shine on her that comes and can be seen because she is a beautiful loving caring respectful human being. With a beautiful heart Linda was raised RIGHT. WITH GOOD MORALS. And Sam her brother is same way. Good job raising Linda and Sam Mr. And Mrs. Thompson. I've never heard Linda or Sam talk bad of Elvis. And they weren't after Elvis Millions being gold diggers money hungry for $$$$$ to take it all from Elvis and Lisa Marie and grandchildren n great granddaughter. Discussting sicking nasty awful person that Cilla.

      @@gracemaerz8872 ~ IKR? I'm glad somebody said it. All these women in Elvis' life claimed they loved the "man" himself, not the star. Well, as a "man", he was divorced, overweight, bloated, drug addicted, shtupped every female he could and recklessly shot off guns indoors. By some accounts it sounds like he bordered on pedophilia. If you're a young woman with healthy self-esteem, would you date a "man" like that? Heck no! OF COURSE they were caught up in the trappings of his wealth and fame. Sheesh!

      I have come to the conclusion that when Elvis met Priscilla she was very pretty, young, naive, & moldable. It seemed she was a kept woman, who he could hide away while he hooked up with Ann Margaret & other women from his movies. Maybe he eventually married Priscilla because it was the next thing to do & was kind of expected of him. Maybe it didn’t last because they didn’t have much in common, she probably didn’t know much about life & wordly views and he hungered for more. Maybe Linda was right that he should have married a Southern girl like her.
      Linda Thomson was a southern belle and lived a live in front of audiences & was confident & didn’t gush over him right off.

      lol 🤣, that's actually kinda funny !! ... I do love 💜 Linda though, and think she was good for Elvis, even if they didn't last ... she really has had an amazing life, with Elvis, Bruce Jenner, and David Foster, all very different and famous "men", at the time she shared with them ... and she was very respectful of both Elvis and the now Caitlin to wait 40 years before sharing her stories !! ... haven't read her book yet, but I want to ...

      But that would have been at the expense of Linda's own mental and physical health. Countless women have cared for children, aging parents or a spouse with compromised health requiring constant attention and extra effort, eventually wearing down the caregiver's body and mind. Not realistically possible to continue this sort of commitment indefinitely.

      @@msr1116 i agree.. I think Elvis was into deep with drugs towards the end of their relationship & was one of the reason why They drift apart- And Elvis lifestyle of the many girlfriends- that didn't give Elvis reason to fight for their relationship. As if there was always another woman to replaced (Elvis was not a type to commit into Monogamous Relationship) - And that's when Ginger Alden came into picture November 1976.

She recounts a fascinating story of her life so far.

    Even though I wasn't there, but based on what I've heard from some of the inner circle, people who were THERE, they ALL believe that if Linda Thompson would've been there, Elvis would've NOT died on that day!!
    As a LIFETIME/DIE-HARD FAN OF Elvis, and based on what I've heard.......Ginger Alden was there for ALL THE WRONG REASONS!!!
    Billy Smith (Elvis'1st Cousin) said Elvis was about to send her packing, for several reasons!!
    I believe Billy Smith, and his wife Jo, when they say anything about Elvis, because Billy Smith was family, so I'll take his word for it! He said that Elvis was just about to break up with Ginger Alden some time after that tour, but as we all know, he passed away before that happened!! I wish Elvis and Linda would have stayed together, because I believe that she loved Elvis FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS, NOT FOR WHAT SHE COULD GET OUT OF HIM!!💯 As a TRUE ELVIS FAN, I CAN TELL THAT LINDA THOMPSON REALLY LOVED HIM, AND LOVED HIM FOR THE RIGHT REASONS!!💯💯 Ginger Alden.......NOT!!👎 That's all I'll say about this, I'll just keep the rest of my opinions to myself!!
    RIP ELVIS!! ALWAYS THE KING👑

    Linda is an awesome woman. I really like her personality and understanding toward Elvis. I just wish that she and Elvis could have remained together. If they had maybe Elvis may have been with us longer. I really believe that if Linda would have been at Graceland on 8-16-77 Elvis may have stood a chance. I have heard so many people who worked for Elvis say that Linda kept such a close eye on Elvis and that Linda never slept until Elvis did. I'm sure that it was hard for Linda to leave but she wanted a normal life and to have children and there wasn't anything normal about Elvis's life. God Bless Him. I think that Elvis thought that Linda was going to stay. I appreciate the way that Linda took care of Elvis the 4 and a half years that they were together. Of course Elvis was more than generous to Linda and her family. Elvis bought Linda a house, bought her brother Sam a house, and bought Linda's parents a house. He also bought her lots of jewelry and a couple of cars so she was well taken care while she was with Elvis. Linda said that she never knew a more generous man than Elvis and that she would always love him.

    Linda was truly the most loving and supportive partner to Elvis. His inner circle have also reflected this. It has also been said that although Elvis had a wicked sense of humour that she bought out this fun side of Elvis more readily. I think linda was someone who took care of Elvis as opposed to him always taking care of them. I'm so glad Elvis had Linda in his life because I believe she truly loved him for himself. 12:19
