'I'm so curious about your figure.' 'You don't say,' said Stella. 'I just wanted to ask you,' the lady said. 'See, the recognition factor,' Stella said, 'although off-hand she doesn't look like your typical Playboy reader.' She turned. 'Pardon me,' said the lady in the next booth, the one who had asked about the dress. Playboy has an enormous circulation, and getting into Playboy increases recognition. But I showed her, I guess, when I posed for Playboy. 'Mother said she didn't want me watching risque movies. I remember once I went to see Jane Russell in 'The Outlaw,' but Mom came in and yanked me out before the good parts.' 'My mother thought I went to too many movies, but I found out that if I bugged her enough, she'd give me the money to get rid of me. In Memphis, we lived behind a theater, the Park Theater, and I used to park my behind there every afternoon. The odds against getting anywhere in the movies are so great that if you realized beforehand, you'd stay home. One day I said, Elvis honey, why do you do this crap? He pondered and said, 'Don't knock success, Stella.' I got two stalks of celery and a pistachio nut annually.

Why did she make the movie? 'I was under contract, cheap, to Hal Wallis for one more picture. They don't look at anyone else on the screen.' His fans come for the sole, purpose of seeing Elvis. I didn't use to mention Yazoo City a lot, but Willie Morris, who is now the editor of Harper's magazine, was also born in Yazoo City. Actually, I was born in Yazoo City, Miss.
