Elvis Presley James Dean Rebel Without a Cause Griffith Observatory Spa Guy

[@janinefarris2748]

For you not being in this generation and being so engaged in detail on Elvis information it's amazing how he impacted you. That to me I am not surprised but appreciative that he could reach so far into the souls of different Generations that's what is different about him. The amount of people that he impacted like that. And I'm sure that other movie stars have been able to do so but not with a high High percentage like this!

[@JohnConboy1]

Your attention to detail never ceases to amaze me SG. Thanks for all your efforts on our behalf.

[@TeeVeeZed123]

‘Orbiting Uranus.’😂😂 Another great peek into Elvis and his early days.

How great would it be if Elvis's tourist photos turn up some day. Great video, thanks Spa Guy. xx

Fantastic! Thank you so much!!! I love your "Elvis" adventures!

Lived in Southern California all my life, only an hour away, and even worked in downtown L.A., and I have never been there, thanks for saving me the trip!

You should still go.. Nothing like the real thing..

[@hubbell627]

@@SpaGuy you're right!

[@myelvischannel1992]

You only live an hour away. I live in the UK and if I was there on holiday I would soon be up there you can't miss that type of place to go and see.

Loved this, I was just researching this myself as l am a fan of this movie & James Dean and you put all the pieces together for me! Thank you so much Spa Guy & Trey!

From the mid 60's through the 90's, I lived in Los Feliz estates on Winona Blvd at the top of the hill north of Los Feliz which is located just below the observatory. As a youngster we - (friends and I) would oft times ride our bicycles up the Ferndell trail through Barnsdall park to the various trails which led to Sunset Stables, Mount Lee, Mount Hollywood, (the peak directly behind the Observatory) and the Observatory proper. The home pointed out in the beginning of the video belonged to Ron Stanhope (an insurance executive) whose daughter (Cecelia) I was dating back in 75-76. The severed pipe/pole you showed was one of many which were actually incandescent light poles providing night time illumination, back in-the-day. Also, of interest is the snack bar area which was directly to your right (west) in the opening shot as you're walking through the parking lot. It's famous for the scene where Arnold Schwarzenegger (as the Terminator) 'liberated' the leather jacket from one of the unlucky thugs. Of course, 'Brush Canyon' aka. Bronson caves (Batcave) is just a stone's toss away up Bronson/Canyon. - Thank you for the effort you put into bringing Elvis' life and times into focus. Well done, sir.

[@brcisna]

Great details of Griffith Observatory and Elvis history and James Dean. Thanks to Mr T for helping out on this one. You keep outdoing yourself on these videos. Still working on Academy Awards nomination for these. It's a labor of love for you doing these and it shows. Thanks again.

[@texasdoug1273]

Great job, as usual...thank you, Spa Guy.

Great Story Again, Thanks Billy and Trey!

[@valeriefelitto6336]

I love your reenactments of elvis history. It makes me shiver to think we can still have a little bit of elvis this way. Love ya billy.

Elvis and James gone but not forgotten xx

[@lyndaantoinette8391]

Love it , so interesting to see all these places xx thankyou Spa guy, Dean & Ashley Drew xx

[@happynow01]

I went there when I was younger... it was a dream come true... it’s a neat place, but to be where James dean acted out my fav movie as a kid... I was speechless. Cool vid.

[@colleenlong2204]

Your videos are amazing Billy! You have such a keen eye for detail. I have watched numerous vlogs about this location... you are the first person to ever notice and film the pole.

[@robinburke3323]

James Dean grew up 30 miles from where I live. I have been to his home and grave many times.

[@miamimermaid]

So great, Spa Guy. Thank you!

[@elenamena8858]

Love this site, Breathtaking! awesome in the daytime and nighttime.

[@HarryLags]

Amazing video and story about Elvis and James Dean. Rebel Without a Cause, great movie!

[@billmiller7138]

I'm jealous now! I've wanted to get there since I first saw Rebel in the 50's. Maybe I'll still make it some day. Another great vid Billy!

[@dburch7894]

Every kid in the city goes here on a field trip. The Observatory used to put on a events called Lasarium in the seventies! Laser light shows. It was awesome. Never knew about E visiting here tho. Thanks!

[@jasonspearing3601]

Great job Billy and Trey..... you've inspired me to watch the movie again!

[@johnmclallen4190]

Billy, I have no doubt that you are right about Elvis and his visiting the observatory. The “pole” by the way, is a great find and blew this movie buff away. Tighten Up! SGF!

[@SpaGuy]

John when I looked down and saw that pole I couldn't believe it was there.. I was blown away too!!

[@cindeem6499]

Ur amazing with all the knowledge and reshearch you must have put in all ykur videos. I was born in '59' but i think i remember seeing james Dean in magazines. And i recall he was a handsome man but not as handsome as elvis lol.... Again TFS

[@jasona8096]

Wow it's been a long time since I have seen the obsurvatory I was born and raised in LA when I was in high school used to go there and watch the laser light show I now live in Carthage TN for the last 20 years

[@mattdrago4660]

Great video mate. I’m in Australia and I’ve travelled to that exact location twice. I remember the first time and my wife just following me and trying to understand why I was in such awe being there. Now that I also know Elvis was there too makes it even more special. Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻

[@edselman58]

Another great one Mr. Spa Guy! Could you imagine if James had not died and both Elvis And him in a movie together!I bet that probably would had happened.

[@mrDCunningham]

I love your vlogs. Very fun and what an iconic place for sure. Nice work👍🏻😎

[@brendalawrence6732]

Very cool video and so informative as well. I watched Rebel Without A Cause a long time ago when I was a kid, barely remember it, so need to watch it again. lol James Dean was so cool and gone far to soon. I'd like to think he and Elvis would have been great friends if he had survived. All the greats have gone way to soon sadly. The Observatory is so cool too, would love to go there one day.

[@analiajimenalopez4666]

Thanks you Spa Guy for these interesting video .

[@maggiemae7021]

Another much appreciated video. Thanks Billy!!

[@aynsleighmalayne3558]

Just imagine the little treasures ppl may have had down through time and didn’t realize it. Maybe we’ll discover more now, since the Elvis wave is up and going again. 💕

[@3BricksHigher]

Too cool!

[@canizalest]

As Always - Awesome Billy!

[@bonniebarnett7202]

Hi Billy 😊 Enjoyed video today 😀, thanks for sharing, and your probably right Elvis was there walking where James Dean had walked. It's sad too think, that James, and Elvis died so young, and just imagine what more they might have accomplished! Your friend Bonnie

[@ricknardone278]

I wonder if EP and Jimmy D would have become friends had they met..A lot of stories have come out about Jimmy, I'm not sure if they are true. Excellent work SP and Trey. Trey I think you have a great chance at becoming a actor, you got that great southern accent. Well done boys.

Spavis, I've been watching your videos for some time now. Nice to see you in my backyard of Southern Cali! I'll be going to Memphis to see Graceland at the end of March and will be using your videos as a guide to go to Elvis-related spots there! Thanks for all you do!

Very nice nostalgia video in great heights. Who could do such fantastic things as this but just you Mr. BILLY with your able assistant who looks like Beatle George Harrison in their Rubbersoul LP haydays. An endless thanks!!!

[@redogsummers]

Another great film chaps! I love it when you take us on a trip Spa Guy. In one of the cast pics you used was the actor who played Dummy in the gang in King Creole. There was an interview with him for an English Elvis mag from the early 90s and he said he wore the same leather jacket for both films but it was ruined when it or he went into the water at the end of King Creole. Thankyou as always, Mike, UK.

[@SpaGuy]

Yes I know about Dummy I could have gone deeper into the story but I was running up against 20 minutes and that person is not someone that would just be know by saying his name so I left him out..

[@ADURANT42]

Another good one Billy. I go to LA often and never went to the Griffith Observatory, It is on my list next time. Thanks Billy Keep them Coming ..........

[@ramonaeichelberger4628]

I hope there is pictures of Elvis up there acting out his idol. That would be cool to see. James Dean king of cool. Gone way too soon. A great view of the area. Thank you Spa Guy and friends.

[@toddhensley880]

That fight scene is intense even watching it today. I can hear the Brando influence in the way Dean delivers his lines. Funny how even the greats had people they modeled themselves after.

[@charlescurtis1042]

My grandma Curtis Dorothy Curtis was a blind piano teacher in Memphis Elvis used to ride his bike miles to go get lessons from her before he got started she was very sweet little lady but a brutal music critic I guess that's why she was never mentioned and I'm sure her criticism motivated him my grand Paws brother Jerry Holland was Elvis's first guitar player he went to California and was never heard from Elvis stayed in Memphis and became famous

[@Danny_S.]

Perfect timing... coffee just made!

[@karenbavington1870]

Hi my friend Spa Guy. I am so excited to see this video as I have been to the Observatory in 2002 when I visited the U.S.A. for the first time after which I flew to Memphis to see Graceland. We visited the Observatory at night and it was beautiful looking out at the city. Have a few photos of the lights all around and the Hollywood sign. Also visited the Rebel without a Cause Monument and took pictures. Did not see the spot where the movie was filmed. Little did I know Elvis was there. Next time for sure. However thought I would let you know that the movie Queen of the Damned was shot there too. It starred Aaliyah, a singer and actress, who died in a plane crash before the movie was released. So sad. Anyway thanks to Trey and to You for bringing back some beautiful memories ❤️🙏🏼Of course❤️🕺🏻

[@starlitekaraoke113]

To think he only was in 3 films. Just think of all the work he would have created...It makes me think of Marlon Brando as the the two were so similar at that time. Great video. Now I want to watch the film again to see this scene.

[@jennifernapoli8172]

Thank you Billy and Trey for another Wonderful and informative video👍🏻 I wonder if Elvis and James Dean would have worked together in a movie or become friends if James Dean hadn’t passed away when he did. Hope they are both resting Peacefully ❤️😇😇✨🙏 God Bless❤️

[@wendycushenan4907]

Very cool Billy thankyou...EP forever 💞

[@TomSmith-dt4tj]

I went to Griffith in 85 as a young boy. Didnt know who Dean (or Elvis) was than. Now of course I do. Will have to visit Griffith again next time im in Lower Alabama. Wasnt King Creole written for Dean to be the lead actor but than reworked to fit Elvis? Ive read that somewhere. Uranus--makes me recall the Uranus sculpture you filmed and mentioned in a Bad Nauheim video--across from park of Elvis' hotel. I saw that when I was there in 2018.

[@peggysuedavis4107]
