Re: Looking for highres pics Jim Aubrey and Elvis
Aubrey was in charge of MGM at that time, hired by Kirk Kerkorian.
These are PR shots for the 1970 MGM documentary. The other two are also producers credited on the film.

Not long after these photos, during his August engagement at the International, Elvis picked up on Aubrey's girlfriend -- raven-haired beauty and actress Barbara Leigh -- with Aubrey in the same room! This story was first recounted in 1977's Elvis - What Happened?, and many other books after that.

No wonder Priscilla was sent home after opening night.Q: How did you meet Elvis?
I met Elvis in Las Vegas with Jim Aubrey when Jim Aubrey (I called him James) took me to see E's show at the Hilton (sic). We were invited backstage to meet the King. Jim Aubrey was the president of MGM studios and produced a film called "That's The Way It Is" ... Elvis was changing his clothes.
I sat down in the middle of the room at a round table next to Chris Nelson, Rick's wife and Jim Aubrey. The room had a lot of people, mostly celebrities and friends that came to pay their respects. Jim Aubrey and Chris both got up to talk to others in the room, leaving me there at the table ... I felt a presence, then turned around to see Elvis sitting in a chair, staring directly into my eyes. ... He asked me my name, paid me numerous compliments and asked me if he could call me. Of course I was totally overwhelmed and said yes.
At the same moment he handed me under the table a tiny, thin pencil and a small piece of paper. I quickly jotted down my number and handed it back to him. As we did this our hands touched one another, he squeezed my hands and smiled at the same time. I felt a bolt of lighting shoot through my body ... Jim Aubrey must have felt the connection between Elvis and me, and wanted us to leave.

Re: Looking for highres pics Jim Aubrey and Elvis
Lovely rare pics - and thanks for the information too.
I saw Elvis live in concert the year before he died. Even then, he was bigger than life, and had amazing charisma. Haven't seen anything like it since, ....until Adam.........Nocturnal 2010

Re: Looking for highres pics Jim Aubrey and Elvis
LD, I have a BA in Commercial Art.... but back in my day that was classed as Fine Art. Guess now it's termed "commercial".
I still can't believe no fellow artists haven't ponied up some dough for the "donation assistance program"....

The advice for guys, back then, who had a hot girlfriend: "Don't introduce her to Elvis !"
