Re: Elvis with some Geisha girls.
Great photo's. When were these taken?
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: Elvis with some Geisha girls.
TIGERMAN-GB -- these are not "some Geisha girls," they are successful Japanese actresses visiting the set of "King Creole."
Can you edit your Subject line?
Hideko Takamine made an appearance on the January 26, 1958 Ed Sullivan program, and it's likely she and her colleagues toured Hollywood not long after.
A kinescope of the entire show reveals some other interesting guests that night, including Jimmie Rodgers singing "Oh-Oh, I'm Falling in Love Again," and some act named Buddy Holly & the Crickets performing "Oh Boy" near the end of the broadcast.
Here's a rundown of these lovely actresses meeting Presley ->

Yumi Shirakawa, Hideko Takamine, Elvis, Yoko Minamida, Misako Uji and Yumiko Hasegawa
Meeting on the set of Paramount's "King Creole," Jan 1958

Re: Elvis with some Geisha girls.
They are not geisha girls.
They are/were actresses, of some note in Japan, who were visiting the States in 1958. The pic was taken during the production of King Creole.

Re: Elvis with some Geisha girls.
Not really. Sullivan was always tripping over his tongue. The story that he was made at Holly is an urban myth.I heard Ed was mad at Buddy that night and said his name wrong. Is that borne out by the complete footage?

Re: Elvis with some Geisha girls.
Actually the title is fine.
"Geisha are professional female entertainers who perform traditional Japanese arts. "
I would think actresses fall into that category
that they're prostitutes are a myth

Re: Elvis meeting japanese performers.
Will the new title do? Or would you still like me to change it?

Re: Elvis meeting japanese performers.
The entire sequence does not reveal any clear animosity by Sullivan towards Buddy and the Crickets. But there is not any show of warmth, either -- he was just being business-like.Mike Eder wrote:Doc can you tell me about how Ed was twords buddy based on the version of the show you saw?
Ed was a stiff character, but if he really liked a performer, he showed it. Just take a look at how he receives Elvis after our hero finishes the October 28, 1956 rendition of "Hound Dog" -- it's on the 2006 DVD.

Re: Elvis meeting japanese performers.
Thanks Doc. He was pretty warm to them the first time. Funny story when the Beach Boys went on in 1964 they told him they were Swedish and that's how he introduced them.
