Star Steps Behind the Camera

This coin pictures Elvis looking through a movie camera lens during the filming of Jailhouse Rock in 1957.  Though most of Elvis’ films were light comedies, he took his work on them seriously.  He could frequently be seen doing just this – looking through the camera to see what his audiences would see, and gaining a better knowledge of the film industry.

And although he was one of the world’s biggest stars, Elvis always remained grounded on set.  His co-stars remembered him as a kind and genuine person.  Marlyn Mason, who starred with Elvis in The Trouble with Girls, recalled “The saddest thing Elvis said to me was ‘I’d like to make one good film because I know people in this town laugh at me’... But he was always down to earth and comfortable with himself.  Some of that dialogue was so corny, but he managed to bring a realness to it.  And I think that’s just how he was in real life. He was a natural comedian, and his timing was just impeccable.”
