Marilyn Monroe started kissing Elvis Presley immediately after they met

A new Netflix film, “Blonde,” starring Ana de Armas, has taken a graphic look at the love and s** life of Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe.

While the movie chronicles her many famous affairs and husbands, one Hollywood agent has come forward with scandalous details of a secret liaison between Marilyn and Elvis Presley.

The agent, Byron Raphael, claims to have set up the meeting and witnessed the encounter.

Although Elvis and Marilyn only met once in public, at Paramount Studios in June 1960, Raphael alleges that he arranged for the two stars to have a secret night together.

Elvis had just returned from military service in Germany, where he had met and fallen for 14-year-old Priscilla Beaulieu. However, he was also officially dating 22-year-old starlet Anita Wood at the same time.

According to Raphael, Elvis’ representatives at the William Morris Agency had initially proposed sending him and Marilyn on high-profile public dates for publicity.

However, Marilyn turned down the idea, so Elvis secretly arranged a meeting. Raphael explained, “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.”

Raphael was shocked when he saw Elvis and Marilyn come together and start kissing without a word.

Marilyn then reportedly said, “You’re pretty good for a guitar player,” before the two disappeared into the bedroom.

Raphael said he didn’t know whether to leave or stay and wait for them, so he dozed off. When he woke up, he saw Elvis and Marilyn emerge from the bedroom nkd.

Despite Raphael’s detailed account, some doubt the veracity of his story.

Elvis was known to prefer younger, more demure women, while Marilyn was 34 years old and exuded s**ual allure.

Additionally, everyone in Elvis’ inner circle has denied any such liaison, with Memphis Mafia member Joe Esposito confirming only a brief meeting between the two icons.

Nonetheless, Raphael claims that Elvis called a cab for Marilyn after the encounter. He added, “A few days later, when I mentioned Marilyn to Elvis, he said, ‘She’s a nice gal, but a little tall for me’.”

While it is unclear whether Raphael’s story is true, he certainly had the access to know about such things and set them up.

Elvis had just returned to Hollywood after his military service in Germany and was working on his next movie, “GI Blues,” at the time.

He was even visited on set by princesses Margrethe of Denmark, Astrid of Norway, and Margaretha of Sweden.

However, it was his alleged encounter with Marilyn that remains speculated about to this day.

Marilyn, on the other hand, was drawn to older, powerful men like Miller, President John F Kennedy, and her second husband, baseball star Joe DiMaggio.

She was 28 years old when she married DiMaggio, who was 40.

Raphael’s account of the Elvis and Marilyn liaison is salaciously appealing, and he worked closely with Elvis and the star’s manager, Colonel Parker, for several years.

While he certainly had access to insider information, Elvis’ preferences and the denials from those close to him cast doubt on the veracity of Raphael’s story.

Alanna Nash, a biographer who interviewed Raphael and wrote three books about Elvis, was unable to verify the story beyond the brief meeting at Paramount Studios.

Despite this, Raphael’s account provides a tantalizing glimpse into the private lives of two of Hollywood’s most iconic stars.
