My dear friend Dennis F. Miller sent me the flyer below for the movie “This Is Elvis“. I thank Dennis for doing this for me so very much.
This movie has always been my very favorite Elvis biographical movie…others don’t even come close. You see, Jesse once told me that he did not like the Dick Clark “Elvis” movie with Kurt Russell. When “This is Elvis” came out and I saw how good it was, I immediately thought that Elvis himself had a behind-the-scenes hand in the production. This was back in 1981…long before “Is Elvis alive?” became a popular topic.
Then many years later after Jesse told me that he did not like the Dick Clark movie, I concluded that this movie was perhaps a response to other Elvis movies which he did not like. I came to think of the title of this movie as “THIS Is Elvis!”…emphasizing that this movie is the truth.
For anyone who has missed seeing this movie, I heartedly suggest that you do so.
When one considers the people involved in the production of this movie, knowing what we do know for a fact now through Jesse’s handwritten letters for his book, it is straightforward to put 2 and 2 together to see how Jesse’s wishes would have been handed down from him to the production of “This Is Elvis“.
Please see Jesse’s handwritten statements below about the people in his life who were involved in the August 16, 1977 “death“. This letter was sent to Dr. Hinton during the writing of the book “The Truth About Elvis Aron Presley…In His Own Words“.
The below copies of Jesse’s letters are from my own copy of the rough draft of the book “The Truth About Elvis Aron Presley…In His Own Words“.

Below are the front and back of the flyer about the 1981 movie “This Is Elvis“.
Please note the integral role Col. Parker took in the production of the movie “THIS Is Elvis“.
Also, as I have mentioned earlier in my material, *Warner Brothers played an integral part in the Orion Pictures angle of post-1977 Elvis-related movies.
*Please see the brief video at the end of this article which proves the business association of Orion Pictures and Warner Brothers.
You may watch the full movie on YouTube as shown below:
*I had to chuckle that they wrote the incorrect date of his “death“!
*Please see this brief video which proves the business association of Orion Pictures and Warner Brothers in 1979. “This is Elvis” was released in 1981.

Something came to my attention this week to which I felt compelled to respond. I came across two videos of Elvis’ stepbrother Billy Stanley stating that he had a near-death experience and that he saw Elvis on the other side in Heaven. He has a book out titled “The Faith of Elvis” which has very good reviews by those who have read it.
My reason for responding to the two YouTube videos of Billy Stanley critically is because he is lying when he states that he met Elvis in Heaven during his own near-death experience. He may have dreamed that he met Elvis in Heaven…but he did NOT see Elvis in Heaven because Elvis is very much still alive to this very day.
I did post the same comment in response to two of the videos of Billy Stanley and I will paste my response below. It is wrong of Billy Stanley to try to disillusion fans who do believe that Elvis is not dead. I feel that Billy’s motive for including this account in his book is to sensationalize to sell more books which I feel is very wrong.
Below is my comment on the two YouTube videos:
Very tacky title for their video…

I feel that I should offer an explanation for my lack of postings about hearing from Jesse. I know all of my visitors love him and worry for him as I do.
I have been getting calls from our go-between who is still able to speak with Jesse. He has called almost weekly for the last while. From all he tells me, Jesse is holding his own but cannot telephone me because his new phone has very limited options for him to call out. I don’t know if or when he will be able to get these blocks removed enough for him to call me himself. I have not heard from the go-between this week. I am so sorry that this causes you to worry. I am trying to keep myself from sinking into dismay this time. This type of restriction upon him has happened so many times over the past 32 years.
Please rest assured that if and when I do hear from Jesse, I will post the news here the same day.
Love, light, and peace to all of you,
Linda Hood Sigmon

Our go-between did phone me yesterday…Jesse is all right but still not making calls from his new phone.
After a week of decreasing the time wearing the walking boot for my broken foot by one hour a day, the doctor discontinued my use of the device. So far…so good. I will be back to the doctor for another visit next week. Phew!! This has been a very trying time.

Elvis Presley’s Top Secret Archives Building Is Graceland’s ‘Coolest Place’ for 1 Main Reason
Graceland was Elvis Presley‘s beloved home for 20 years. Today, it is still a Presley family home and a museum visited by over half a million people yearly. The mansion contains many areas not included within the main tour, including a top-secret archives building known as Graceland’s “coolest place.” Here’s why.
Angie Marchese’s deep dive into Elvis Presley’s life via the archives
What began as a summer job at 15 as a Graceland tour guide has become a life’s career for Angie Marchese. Now the VP of archives and exhibits at the Memphis home, Marchese is a point person for everything fans see within the home, including its extensive archives collection.
During the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Marchese began making YouTube videos from within Graceland so fans could remain connected to the historic home. The first “Inside the Archives” clip explains why the building is Graceland’s “coolest place.”
The archives building is unique for many reasons. Marchese claims it is supposed to withstand a tornado’s impact. She said, “Hopefully, we don’t have to test that theory.”
“It is the coolest place on the property. It actually stays at 68 degrees all year long.”
She concluded, “So in the winter, it’s pretty warm. And in the summer, it’s pretty cool here.”
The Graceland Archives contain thousands of priceless Elvis Presley artifacts
According to Graceland’s official website, only 10% of the Elvis Presley items in the Graceland Archives are on display. Subsequently, the collection consists of over 50,000 photographs, 3,000 textiles, thousands of documents, and an extensive collection of furniture, musical instruments, awards, automobiles, and other artifacts associated with the King of Rock and Roll.
“An important function of this department is the tracking of the collection, as well as the creation of a complete digital catalog of the Elvis Presley Archives at Graceland. It is also the job of the archives staff to preserve and conserve the artifacts in the mansion and all other exhibits here at the Graceland Mansion,” the site explains.
Fans can get up close to items in the archives during the Inside the Graceland Archives Ultimate VIP Tour. A limited number of tours are available each day.
Angie Marchese claims the archives hold 90,000 images alone of Elvis
During the video, Angie Marchese opened a file cabinet to show fans some of the items inside. She wore white gloves to touch the priceless artifacts.
She showed fans a promotional photo of Elvis from the film Jailhouse Rock. The image belonged to Elvis and Vernon, “so who knows how many times Elvis flipped through and took a look at these photos?”
Marchese randomly pulled a second photograph. It was a snap of Elvis from the film King Creole, which she said was “Elvis’ favorite movie” and shot on location in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Elvis Presley’s Graceland home is open for tours 363 days a year. The house is closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas Days.

The One Icon Ringo Starr Felt Sorry For
Using Elvis Presley as an example, Starr concluded, “You know it’s interesting because the time we met Elvis, I really thought ‘How sad that he’s on his own’. He had all those people around but he was on his own.”

Elvis Presley Ascends The Charts—Again
CULVER CITY, CA – SEPTEMBER 1962: Rock and roll musician Elvis Presley strums an acoustic guitar … [+
Elvis Presley is one of those artists whose popularity never seems to diminish. No matter how many years go by, the superstar remains a favorite of millions, and the songs and albums he recorded during his lifetime continue to sell and stream well. There aren’t many names who can maintain that kind of success decades after their passing, but Presley isn’t the average musician–or even the everyday star.
For several years now, the consumption of Presley’s biggest hits has been keeping one of his compilations afloat. Sales and streams of many of his most popular tunes are reflected in the success of Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits on the charts.
Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits is up on two Billboard charts this week. The compilation is climbing as consumption of that title–as well as the dozens of tunes on its tracklist–is up. In the past tracking week, the beloved title moved another 8,483 equivalent units in the U.S. alone. That’s up 2.6% from the period before.
That uptick in streams and sales helps the collection rise on the Billboard 200, the main albums chart in America. This frame, Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits lifts from No. 184 to No. 176.
Over on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums ranking, Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits also experiences a surge, though one that’s not quite as impressive. On that genre-specific roster, Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits improves from No. 47 to No. 41, nearly cracking the top 40 once more.
Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits is still far from its peak on either of those two tallies, but the fact that it’s rising after so much time is laudable. The Presley collection once controlled the Billboard 200, adding to his list of many rulers on that tally. On the rock-only list, it’s topped out at No. 5.
As it soars on a pair of Billboard charts, Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits is also present on another ranking, though it doesn’t budge on that tally. Over on the Top Country Albums roster, the compilation is a non-mover at No. 33. It’s also spent time at No. 1 on that chart in the past.

I just got off the phone with a call from Jesse!! I am so relieved and happy…needless to say. His phone is still giving him trouble and he had to adjust the voice disguise while we were speaking because at first I could tell it was him but could not distinguish his words very well. He is OK. I can’t express how good it was to see the caller ID and to actually get to speak with him again. He said he would call me again soon.
I am so happy to be the bearer of glad tidings to you all.

Below is a new collage that I have created to, once more, prove that Jesse is Elvis by way of the matching scars on both legs. In this collage, the new photo only has Elvis’s right leg visible so that one may see the scar.
Jesse was very pleased to have this proof made public many years ago when I first added this to my website. As I recall, this was one of the times that Jesse told me that I had more (proof) than anyone else.
I came across the new photo below on “X” where it was posted by

Once more another wonderful match for everyone to see to compare the photo of Jesse in 1994 with Elvis. Can never have too many of these.

I just enjoyed watching the following video very much. This one questions the theories about Elvis still being alive and I like it because it is done in a very respectful manner. The owner of the channel requests that the viewers respond with comments about their feelings and ideas as to whether Elvis faked his death. I did spend a good deal of time composing a comment in hopes that people would come to understand my websites and become knowledgeable about, and compassionate for, Elvis/Jesse.
Welcome back to Luxurious Auras! Today, we’re diving deep into one of the most enduring mysteries of pop culture: Is Elvis Presley really dead or could he still be alive? 🎸🕵️♂️ Elvis Presley, the iconic king of rock and roll, reportedly passed away on August 16th, 1977 at his famous estate Graceland. Official reports stated that his cause of death was attributed to a heart condition aggravated by his history of prescription drug use. The news shocked the world and led to an outpouring of grief from millions of fans globally. However, over the years, a cloud of doubt has loomed over Elvis’s death. Numerous conspiracy theories have emerged suggesting that Elvis staged his own death to escape the intense pressures of fame and live a private life away from the spotlight. Proponents point to alleged government connections and cite the use of an alias Jesse Garen as evidence that Elvis has continued to live in secrecy post-1977. One intriguing theory is that Elvis’s reported death was a strategic move to step out of the limelight and enjoy a quieter existence. His status as a global superstar placed immense pressure on him, and some believed that he longed for a sense of normalcy away from the public eye. The notion gains traction due to reported sightings from fans around the world who claim to have encountered him in various mundane settings such as grocery stores, airports, and gas stations. Some even describe interactions with a man who strikingly resembles Elvis in appearance and mannerisms. In addition to eyewitness accounts, there are circulating photographs and videos purportedly showing an older Elvis further fueling speculation that he may have faked his death. Join us as we explore this captivating topic filled with intriguing anecdotes and alleged evidence surrounding The King’s fate! Don’t miss out on unraveling one of pop culture’s greatest mysteries! 🔍🎶 #ElvisPresley #IsHeAlive
Here is my comment which I posted:
Yes, Elvis is still alive to this day. I have known him as Jesse for over 32 years. I own two websites that I maintain with his approval. Mine are the only Internet sites he has asked to exist. On my sites, you may read letters he wrote through the years after 1977. You will see an actual photo taken of him in 1994…this photo has many matches proving that it is Elvis with his grandson Benjamin. He has actually written a book titled “The Truth About Elvis Aron Presley in His Own Words“. You will read the truth about why he faked his death, and his personal life before and after August 16, 1977, you will be able to listen to songs that he has verified as being recorded by him after his “death“. There is also verification of Jesse’s handwriting being that of Elvis Presley by a certified handwriting expert. You will see a very large page of my site devoted to some of the gifts that Jesse has given to my husband and me…many of these gifts are accompanied by letters and notes written in his own recognizable handwriting. Visits to my site are completely free with no registration required. I hope that you will visit my sites and spend lots of time to see all the proof. Jesse just recently asked that I continue to keep the websites online. He wants his true fans to know the truth. Thank you for taking the time to read my comment. You may find my sites by doing a search for my name which is Linda Hood Sigmon.
