She gets a bad rap and I don't know why
She was a young girl when she got romantically involved with the much older Elvis. Elvis was immature and shouldn't have pursued someone so young. Don't get me wrong-I love Elvis!!! However, I'm no fool and he was flawed like all of us. I feel sad for Ginger because she was pretty much shut out after his death and treated badly by fans and people that were close to Elvis. Also, nasty things were said of her. Bottom line is Elvis DID give her a ring and she was in his bed when he died. He did have serious feelings for her. Those feelings were probably changing for both but she was still considered his girlfriend who was wearing his ring at the time he died. I believe Elvis DID promise to pay off her mother's house. Why not? He bought houses for his maid, childhood friends so why not believe this was his intention. Elvis just didn't put it in writing. Therefore, the Alden family got nowhere in the courtrooms. I like how Ginger didn't run anyone down in the book. She didn't speak negatively about Priscilla and I know Priscilla never spoke badly of Ginger. In Priscilla' s book she spoke of Ginger being so young and taking care of Elvis was too much of an expectation for a girl of her age. So there you go. Sadly, because Priscilla is Lisa's mother and the ex wife of Elvis, she comes off representing anything Elvis. They were divorced and Elvis had MANY girlfriends during and after the marriage. Vernon left Priscilla in charge after his death and like it or not, she has done a great job keeping his memory alive. Ginger, I'm glad you wrote this book and hope you make a lot of money. Why not? Priscilla, Ann Margaret, Elvis' maid, Larry Gellar. Joe Esposito , Jerry Shilling, the entire Memphis Mafia, Cybill Sheppard, Linda Thompson, Kathy Westmoreland, and the list goes on and on have all written books about Elvis. Seems to me she has been extremely silent over the years unlike the others that I have mentioned. She looks great. She doesn't look like an alien due to too much plastic surgery. She appears to be a smart cookie. Not a total phony like some I mentioned. She is still married to just one man and has a son she is very proud of. Ginger did well and without all of Elvis' money or using his name. If she sold some of the things Elvis gave her- who cares??? I heard Priscilla and Lisa Marie are selling Elvis' personal items. Lisa sold a huge portion of her portion in EPE. The rest are constantly giving interviews and writing books. Why judge? This is a nice book about a young girl who fell in love with an older man who happened to be Elvis and walked away with nothing but a car and some jewelry, was with him when he died and has done well with her life. Elvis is smiling down on her from heaven.
