Fun in Acapulco: Elvis Presley stars in 1963 trailer<\/h3>\n

Elvis Presley famously had two types of girls. He liked them sweet and demure like Anita Ward or his teenage girlfriend Priscilla Beaulieu, who lost his interest when she became a mother to Lisa Marie. Or The King liked them sexy and sassy like Debra Paget and Ann Margret.<\/p>\n

But he found himself completely out of his depth when cinema’s greatest beauty of the time was opposite him in a bikini \u2013 and making it very clear exactly she wanted from him.<\/p>\n

Back at home, the future Priscilla Presley was extremely worried about her boyfriend being around someone she admitted was a “sex goddess” when Elvis refused to fully physically consummate his relationship with her.<\/p>\n

In 1963 Ursula was the hottest woman on the planet. After trying to make her mark in Hollywood since 1955, in 1962 she had finally shot to stardom emerging from the sea in that bikini in the very first James Bond movie, Dr No.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no surprise then that The King’s producers quickly snapped her up to play his love interest in another film set by the beach.<\/p>\n

Released 60 years ago today, Fun In Acapulco predictably provided plenty of opportunity for the statuesque Swiss-German beauty to flaunt her gold-plated licence to thrill.<\/p>\n

Ursula later described how surprised and overwhelmed she was when she first met The King. She said: “The only way I knew him was from TV, this new idol, this hip-swinging lover with a guitar. The first day I went to work, he came over, this humble man, full of charm, love in his eyes, and kindness, and being so considerate and warm. I was so surprised.”<\/p>\n

Usually, it would be Elvis who would work his charm and pursue co-stars, but according to his Memphis Mafia friend Sonny West, this time it was the other way around. He once said: “They were very close. She went after him. She wanted him bad.”<\/p>\n

Back home at Graceland, a nervous Priscilla was very aware that her boyfriend was spending time with a “sex goddess” (in Priscilla’s own words). who was one of the most beautiful women in the world. Ursula might have been married to actor and director John Derek at the time, but they would later split when he discovered her infidelity.<\/p>\n

The King’s future wife later wrote about Elvis\u2019 conversation with friend Alan Fortas: “‘Yeah, but E,’ Alan Fortas kidded him, ‘she only had eyes for you.'” Priscilla herself also questioned Elvis: “‘Wasn\u2019t she pretty?’ I asked. ‘Pretty?’, he snickered. ‘Hell, she had a bone structure so sharp, it could cut you in half if you turned too fast.'”<\/p>\n
