Friends, read this from the conference in Paley Center on march, 14, 2008, during 40th anniversary comeback special with Steve Binder and Bones Howe:

http://www.elvisinfonet.com/spotlight_6 ... rsary.html

"Priscilla spoke very complimentary on Elvis' incredible dedication to the '68 Special, and how he was so determined to move on from the movies that he had grown to dislike doing. She said the '68 Special was the reason he changed his career - from making movies - returning to Vegas and live performances, which in turn led to his touring again. Of course there was nothing really new in what Priscilla said .... but it was so heartwarming that she is saying positive things about his music career. I had hoped she would say something more "lovingly" from her own personal thoughts, too but she didn't!

An audience question to Priscilla was if she was at the filming of the '68 Special. Priscilla said "Yes"...and mentioned was that it had been a long time since she had watched this Special, and that night, she noticed herself in the back (row?) of one of the scenes in it".

"Look Priscilla"?

Um, actually, no way.

I also have that book and there is no photo which shows Priscilla in the audience at any of the 68 Special shows.

If Priscilla was in attendance, why haven't we seen any clear photos after all these years? And I wonder why the camera didn't zoom in on her?


Ad hominem fallacy (or ad hominem) is an attempt to discredit someone’s argument by personally attacking them. Instead of discussing the argument itself, criticism is directed toward the opponent’s character, which is irrelevant to the discussion.
https://www.scribbr.co.uk/fallacy/ad-hominem/

Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), refers to several types of arguments, most of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself. This avoids genuine debate by creating a personal attack as a diversion.

I've seen her in the gallery for at least one of the stand up shows on 6-29-1968 (Sat). And there would be absolutely no reason to "zoom in on her." The program was called "Singer Presents Elvis." The director and his crew were there to record the performance of the star.
