Comments

Although, Carolyn is not on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, there is a very large fan group that is petitioning for her to get her star.

A few really cool items about Carolyn:

She starred in Film and Television with:

• Elvis
• Vincent Price
• Sandra Dee
• George Preppard
• Debbie Reynolds
• John Astin

She actually refused to kiss Elvis, in King Creole, because she had a temperature of 103 and didn't want to make him sick.

And, she was married to Aaron Spelling and Herbert Greene (who won two Tonys for The Music Man).

She is my 8th cousin - once removed.

I'm shocked it's someone on my father's side. Usually it is always someone from Floyd County, KY.

King Creole is probably my favorite Elvis movie. Kid Galahad is #2.
