Anita was usually Elvis's date for the skating rink and the movies. She was around for a long time in the early years. They started going out in July of '57, when he invited her to go with him to watch 'em put up a special front for (the memphis premiere of) Loving you. The very next month, he gave her a diamond and sapphire ring. Alot of people thought he was going to marry her.
Lamar fike:
George klein set up their first date. He was always kind of a glorified pimp when it came to Elvis meeting girls. I called her, and we went by and picked her up. She lived in a rooming house, of sorts, with this old lady named miss patty. We drove around, and Elvis brought her to the house. Anita was very innocent. But that got to be a strong and heavy relationship, I'll tell you.
