It doesn’t get any hotter than this! Big hunk o’ love, Elvis Presley, bedded sex goddess, Marilyn Monroe, within minutes of meeting her. Now this could very well be a lie, but a very reliable source, Elvis’ former agent, Byron Raphael has finally decided to reveal all the juicy details in a US interview.
According to him, he kept the one-night stand a secret for over 50 years because he knew it was the “sort of thing that could ruin their careers” and Monroe was also still married to Arthur Miller.
He claims bosses at the William Morris Agency wanted Presley and Monroe to date for a publicity stunt in 1956, but Marilyn refused.
Raphael said: “He was very embarrassed, but I think she turned him down because she felt it was too public.”
However, Presley, who had women throwing themselves at him, refused to “give up” and two weeks later asked Raphael to “pick up Marilyn” and bring her to his room at the Beverly Wilshirehotel.
“When he saw her, they came together and, without saying a word, started kissing. I was in shock and I didn’t know what to do. Then Marilyn, who was 10 years older, said, “You’re pretty good for a guitar player.”
“After two minutes, they went into the bedroom and I didn’t know if I was supposed to leave, or stay and wait for them, so I just dozed off. The next thing I knew I was startled awake by the door opening and I dove behind the bar. And they both walked out stark naked.”
