All the King\'s women

Elvis Presley
To celebrate what would have been Elvis Presley\'s 75th birthday, we take a look at the women that affected his life and his music. Considering he topped the charts as recently as 2005, it\'s hard to believe that the late, great Elvis Presley died 30 years ago. From his teenage wife Priscilla to daughter Lisa Marie and true love Ann-Margret, the King left behind a legacy of ladies as well as music. And though he had his pick of sexy starlets, Elvis\'s apparently pathological fear of paternity suits meant this fool didn\'t rush in...

Priscilla Beaulieu Presley
Elvis met the 14-year-old Priscilla Beaulieu while in Germany on military service in 1959. But Priscilla claimed in her slushy autobiography \'Elvis and Me\' that their relationship wasn\'t consummated until their wedding night eight years later. By winning control of Elvis\'s substantial estate from his manager Colonel Tom Parker, Priscilla proved herself to be a keen businesswoman. However, judging by her performance in \'Dallas\', the same can\'t be said of her acting skills

Dolores Hart
Dolores co-starred with and dated Elvis during two of his better films, 1957\'s \'Loving You\' and \'King Creole\', made a year later. In 1963 she turned her back on showbusiness to become a Catholic nun. But before you think \'what the hell did he do to her?\' Dolores said of Elvis, \'He is a young man with an enormous capacity to love... but I don\'t think he has found his happiness. I think he is terribly lonely...\'
Gladys Love Presley

Gladys Love Presley
Elvis\'s twin brother Jesse Garon was stillborn, which made his mother, Gladys, overprotective of Elvis. But Elvis worshipped his doting mum and many believe he never recovered after her death from acute hepatitis in August 1958. When he moved to Graceland, he had her grave moved to the back garden
Ann-Margaret

Ann-Margret
Nicknamed \'the female Elvis\' in her prime, Ann-Margret was believed to be the love of Elvis\'s life by his nearest and dearest. They met while filming the movie \'Viva Las Vegas\' in 1963, but the Swedish-born starlet blew it by announcing their engagement to the press. According to friends, Colonel Parker forced Elvis to make good on the promise he had made to Priscilla\'s father. No doubt the ginger bombshell caused Elvis\'s teen bride-to-be many a sleepless night
Nancy Sinatra

Nancy Sinatra
Frank\'s daughter scored her first major role opposite Elvis in the 1968 movie \'Speedway\' and the pair soon hit it off. But there\'s no evidence to suggest their relationship was anything more than platonic, which was more likely due to Elvis\'s recent marriage than any respect he had for Ol\' Blue Eyes. Frank once visited Elvis on the set of \'GI Blues\', only to find him snogging his co-star Juliet Prowse, who also happened to be Frank\'s girlfriend
Lisa Marie Presley

Lisa Marie Presley
The king\'s only heir was born nine months to the day after her parents\' marriage and went on to have a drug-addled, booze-fuelled, Scientology-plagued youth that would make Drew Barrymore blush. Now happily married to guitarist Michael Lockwood, Lisa Marie was briefly wed to both Michael Jackson and self-confessed Elvis freak Nicolas Cage. Her first marriage to Danny Keogh produced her daughter Riley, now a model who has posed for the likes of Dior and \'Elle\'

Kathy Westmoreland
Kathy fell for Elvis while working as his backing singer in the 1970s, but still claims their relationship wasn\'t sexual. After Elvis classily introduced Kathy on stage by saying \'this is Kathy Westmoreland and she will take affection from anybody, anytime, anyplace; in fact she gets it from the whole band\', Kathy and backing singers The Sweet Inspirations walked off in protest. Eventually Elvis bought the ladies some diamond rings to smooth over the situation

Cybill Shepherd
Young Cybill won the title Miss Teenage Memphis in 1966 and was selected as Miss Congeniality in the Miss Teenage America pageant. Best known for her roles in \'Taxi Driver\', \'The Last Picture Show\' and \'Moonlighting\', Shepherd claims she taught Elvis the art of oral pleasures
Linda Thompson

Linda Thompson
Another beauty queen, Linda Thompson came third in the Miss USA Pageant and lived at Graceland from 1972-1976, where she most likely witnessed the darkest moments of Elvis\'s downward spiral. When she left him, Linda cited Elvis\'s unfaithfulness and drug dependency as her reasons for the split. Perhaps Linda gleaned some of the King\'s talent, as she later went on to co-write \'I Have Nothing\' for \'The Bodyguard\' soundtrack. Dating stars runs in the genes, as her reality-TV-star son, Brody Jenner, once went out with Nicole Richie
Ginger Alden

Ginger Alden
Elvis\'s last girlfriend, Ginger Alden, was a Miss Tennessee and 19 years his junior (we\'re starting to see a pattern here). She was the first to raise the alarm on 16 August 1977 when she found Elvis lying face down on the bathroom floor with his pyjamas around his ankles and a book on Tantric sex by him. She claimed they were due to marry on Christmas Day 1977
