Loving Elvis, goes offstage to reveal the private man - as viewed through the eyes of the women whose love for the man endures. This unique exposé uncovers a man who was much more complex than the public perception of the titular icon.
Presley was, at his core, a man who was fighting demons, addictions and profound loneliness - something the carefully curated myth fails to embrace, until now.
Elvis’s rise to fame in the 1950s is recounted by the women he was dating at the time, revealing a mama’s boy who never recovered from his mother’s sudden death, at the height of his career.
After serving two years in the army where Elvis meets fourteen year old Priscilla Beaulieu, he secretly moves her into Graceland while embarking on a disastrous film career and inappropriate love affairs before finding love with co-star Ann-Margret. However, a forced and ill fated marriage along with bad management, leave Elvis desperate and unhappy, with growing addiction problems.
The 1970s see Elvis return to the stage with a vengeance, experiencing a career renaissance. Back on top, he divorces Priscilla and seeks true love, in an effort to offset his enduring loneliness, and fight his demons which includes the company of underage women. The self destructive American icon eventually loses those closest to him, and his battle to survive.
