Elvis was found by Ginger Alden in his bathroom and rushed to the Baptist Memorial Hospital. There he was announced dead at 3:30 P.M.
The worldwide mourning that ensued has never been matched by another entertainer’s passing, not even Michael Jackson. To this day, fans like me still grieve over our loss.
Gone but never forgotten…
I Love You Elvis
Elvis was planning to leave to begin a tour which would start in Portland. He woke at about 4.00 p.m. He watched television until 10.30 p.m. Then he left for his dentist appointment.
Gladys dies in the hospital and Elvis and his father Vernon are inconsolable.
It’s painfully obvious from this picture just how sick Gladys already was even back in March of 1958 when attending the draft with Elvis and Vernon. Apparently obvious to everyone but those who loved her most.
Elvis was in the hospital most of the day and evening with his mother.
Elvis performed at the Municipal Auditorium, New Orleans, Louisiana at 4.00 and 8.15 p.m.
Location filming in Florida for Follow That Dream ended.
Release April 11, 1962
When the Kwimper family car runs out of gas on a new Florida highway and an officious state supervisor tries to run them off, Pop Kwimper digs in his heels and decides to do a little homesteading. He and his son Toby and their "adopted" children – Holly, Ariadne and the twins – start their own little community along a strip of the roadside. The fishing is good and the living is easy until the mob sets up a gambling operation and the state supervisor sics a sexy social worker on the Kwimpers in an effort to take away Ariadne and the twins.

Elvis performed at the Showroom, International Hotel, Las Vegas. This was the opening night of the engagement which was opened with a dinner show. More proof that Elvis could wear anything and make it look so good.
While Gladys was transported to the hospital Elvis completed his Advanced Tank Training.
Rehearsals for That’s The Way It Is with the entire show moved to the main stage of the showroom. For the first time Joe Guercio worked with Elvis and was leading the orchestra.
Elvis was fitted with contact lenses to change his blue eyes to brown for his role as a half-breed for his role in Flaming Star. In the end he kept his own natural look.
