    What’s even better is that Mark Barry put the interview he did with her up with the photo–she tells amazing stories about meeting James Dean and Elvis. Apparently Elvis said to her, “I know you’re getting old and all, but if you’d like to come back after the show, I’d be proud to take you back to my bungalow.” XD
