The Last Days of Elvis
Born into a family in which no one had ever even attended high school, the King of Rock 'n' Roll had humble beginnings that stand in stark contrast to his enduring legend. Elvis Aaron Presley was a man devoted to his mama, a one-time trucker who would become the most popular recording artist in history, earning 111 gold records. However, he got lost along the way, making a string of bad movies, using and abusing food and drugs and ultimately becoming a sad shadow of his former self.
