Elvis was keen to be considered a genuine and talented actor. He looked up to the likes of james dean and Marlon Brando and dreamed of being a movie star.
Elvis's very first film love me tender was a nerve-wracking experience for him indeed, the transference from singer and rock n roll star to movie actor was very challenging.
It was set for realese in 1956 and Elvis was undecided as to whether he would prove to be a success on the big screen.
It was said that Elvis was a surprising type of actor. He was a male Monroe. You would give him lines and he would say them as he would in real life.
And surprisingly that's the best kind of acting- when your not acting at all.
"I have never read a line. I never studied acting, never been in any plays or anything-i just got out there." (Elvis on acting 1956)
Let me know what you think!! xoxo
