Billboard Magazine staff award Elvis with a triple Crown award for the single Don't Be Cruel which topped all three sales charts, Pop, Country and RnB at the 20th Century Fox commissary. Robert Wagner is on Elvis' right, followed by Gilligans Island star Alan Hale jr. Is that Brian Dennehy sitting out front looking the same in 1956 as he did in 1986?

Since Graeme is no longer around, was he referring to the left photo? If so, that burly fellow sitting in front is Alan Hale Jr.

Yeah, I guess he was. I thought it was Brian, but that's the art of suggestion. But he's already referred to Alan Hale Jr.Private Presley wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 3:09 pmSince Graeme is no longer around, was he referring to the left photo? If so, that burly fellow sitting in front is Alan Hale Jr.
I admit he didn't say it was Brian he just asked the question - but that might have been a joke, just meaning that is looked like Brian from 1986 had been planted in a photo from 30 years earlier.
I just believed it
Edit: No one else in the world has fallen for it either. There is no connection whatsoever on the www between Elvis and Brian Dennehy according to google.
Bloody sod lol it was a bloody joke.
I feel a right muppet.
I think I've repeated it in other places - mind you, no one I recall pulled me up on it.

The man on the front-right of the first photo is Alan Hale.
He does look a lot like the Brian Dennehy of more recent times !
Must have been Graeme's little joke !
Brian died last year.

Buddy Adler: It sounds incredible, but Love Me Tender did more in its first week west of the Mississippi than did The Robe (1953), one of our biggest money-makers to date. After the first week it slackened off considerably. Even so it will show a very handsome profit. |

BONNIE BRAJEVIEH: It was at Twentieth Century-Fox Studios that I met Elvis, on October 5, 1956, the day he finished filming his first picture, Love Me Tender. I was frightened and worried; didn’t know what to expect. I was trying so hard not to believe all the awful things I had read about him, and five minutes after I had met and talked with him 1 realized that he was exactly what I had hoped he would be and so much more. We had our pictures taken and talked a little longer. And as | said goodbye to him he kissed me very softly. A month later I received a phone call from Mr. Roy Croft, Elvis’ press agent while at 20th who had introduced us. He told me I was chosen to dedicate a giant 20-feet picture of Elvis at the Los Angeles theater before the release of Love Me Tender. A week later,* I found myself in the lobby of the theater behind a microphone giving a speech and pulling the curtain from a giant picture, with flash bulbs flashing, girls screaming. I was so thrilled and pleased I thought, “If I never see Elvis again I can’t complain.” * It was not a week later but actually November 21, 1956. |
