It has been proven that Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe, two amazing people who are now no longer with us, once met up in 1960 at Paramount Studios. What happened after is a bit of a mystery. One man, a publicity and management agent Byron Raphael, claims they had a very spicy encounter that evening. Byron claims that Elvis' representatives at the William Morris Agency wanted the two to go out on some dates but she declined. Elvis was reportedly embarrassed but thought that she just didn't want their dates to be in the public eye so he requested a secret meeting. There are claims that Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe spent the night together BLUE HAWAII, Elvis Presley, 1961 / Everett Collection Byron explained that he set up the meeting and shared what he witnessed. He said, "Two weeks later, Elvis called me and said 'I want you to pick up Marilyn.' It was a rainy night and I brought her to the Beverly Wilshire hotel and we went upstairs to his room. When he saw her, they came together and, without a word, started kissing. I was in shock and didn't know what to do."

After two minutes they went into the bedroom and I didn't know if I was supposed to leave, or stay and wait for them, so I sort of just dozed off. The next thing I knew I was startled awake by the door opening and I dove behind the bar. And they both walked out stark naked. I didn't say a word, I just stayed quietly." ELVIS, Elvis Presley, (aired Oct. 25, 1968) / Everett Collection After, Byron says that Elvis said that she was too tall for him. Alternatively, Elvis seemed to prefer younger women, while Marilyn preferred older men. It seems the two just didn't click the way they thought they could. Even though Byron shares the story with lots of details, some of the people in Elvis' inner circle still deny that the liaison happened at all.
