So let me recap a little bit.

Those five ladies, Elvis' ex-wife, Elvis' only daughter, and (I assume) Elvis' three grand-daughters, have been invited to a "hand and footprint ceremony" at the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles ?

Extremely cheap and tacky stuff.

It's a tradition that started in 1927 when the theatre was called 'Graumans'.

Here's Marilyn Monroe & Jane Russell making their marks:

Looks like the bar has been lowered somewhat for their definition of 'major movie stars'...

Yes, that's what I meant. Not even Elvis himself was invited there, right ?

No, I don't think he ever was !

Maybe inviting these family members is a belated attempt to make up for that omission...

There seems to be something amiss there, but I can't put my finger on it, somehow...

Obviously Elvis was not in Germany at the time.

Something amiss there ?

Ah yes, the little seen Louisiana Hayride TV appearance, the one where he sang Only You, Rock Around The Clock, Tiger Man ("my latest escape, err, release"), a stonking hot version of Sittin' On Top Of The World, followed by the Southern Maid Donuts jingle. Man, what a show that was.

From the UK newspaper 'i' - 5th October, 2022:

Something wrong there ?

NB - The 'Hollywood' sign features in the Baz Lurhmann film 'Elvis'.
