The Lacker sisters interview fan friend of Elvis, Shirley Connell on location at the former Memphian Theatre where she and others frequently attended movies when Elvis rented it for movie marathons. Shirley, author of "Elvis: The Man in My Backyard" takes us through her memories of The Memphian theatre and days joining in on the fun. (Part of our series with her on her "Elvis Memories" )

I think it’s so cute that she talked her mom into buying the house back behind Graceland.

Shirley's book is the greatest and it was awesome to be inside the actual theater with her and the Lacker sisters! It's such a joy for you-all to take the time to share your extraordinary lives with us 😃 God bless y'all and God bless America 🇺🇸

So good to see Shirley is still with us, she's so funny. Ii watched an interview she did in Sweden I think and really enjoyed it! She was crazy about Elvis from a young age, and when the house next door to Graceland came up for sale, she talked her parents into buying it. She got to be well known to Elvis and the rest of them and she'd be invited up to the house to hang out sometime and even to the amusement park to ride the rides. She used to climb over the fence in the back for a shortcut to go up to the house and 1. day Vernon caught her. 😂 She just knew she was in trouble, but he said Shirley what are you doing? Then he just told her to be careful. She has alot of stories to tell

I wish I had gone to watch movies there

[@gracieg7601]

Sheri does anyone have pics of the group with Elvis at the skating place? I’ve asked allot of people about any pics or videos of the group of skaters. No one seems to have any or know of any.

[@thememphismafia83]

not that ive found yet, Gracie.

[@marilynadams349]

Thank you

[@veep2240]

Hi Sheri the video is a little small to see things properly, Thanks 👌🥰

[@thememphismafia83]

are you watching on computer or phone?

[@veep2240]

Hi Sheri, I’ve watched it both on my phone & iPad, but both are small? Even when I press the icon to make the screen bigger, it’s still small? Not sure 🤔 why this is happening? As all other videos I watch are full screen. Thanks Sheri TCB ⚡️ 🇦🇺❤️😘😘

[@livewithnick]

Shirley was a peeker!🫣😮😜

[@thememphismafia83]

huh? oh lol the bathroom joke :-)

[@kimchestnut4130]

HI Sheri, your amazing page on FB is turning into a picture show by someone called Mags Guthrie. Its non stop and page is saturated with her posts. Such a great page but Mags Guthrie COME ON surely it can be limited to only 100 pictures a day! Sarcasm yeah but love reading the stories, watching the lives but that woman is killing the page
