Has anyone brought up the parallels between the Turpins and the Presleys? Elvis raised by an extremely religious mother with a Pentecostal/mystic bent, and was very controlling. Then Elvis and Priscilla start dating when she's 14 and he's 21. An article I just read said Priscilla claims they "didn't go out" and "lived in a bubble." A documentary I watched a few years ago claimed Elvis basically held Priscilla hostage in dark rooms with no windows where they'd stay up all night and sleep during the day.
Good memory you have and yes there are some similarities. Didn't her military father and mother allow Elvis to take
Priscilla to the states to live with him before they were married. I always thought that was odd.
