<p id=”par-1_51″>During <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/elvis-presley/?swcfpc=1″>Elvis Presley’s</a> film career, he made headlines for his <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/elvis-reportedly-claimed-slept-leading-ladies.html/”>relationships with his female co-stars</a>. Elvis’ relationship with Priscilla Presley did little to stop his on-set flirtations. Often, these developed into full-blown affairs. There was one actor Elvis claimed to have little interest in, despite her blatant appreciation of him.</p>

<p id=”par-2_47″>In 1963, Elvis shot the film <em>Fun in Acapulco</em> with Bond Girl Ursula Andress. Priscilla Presley <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/priscilla-presley-felt-restricted-graceland-rules-follow.html/”>stayed at Graceland</a> while Elvis filmed, and she often worried about the stories she heard coming out of the sets. Elvis claimed she had no reason to worry about Andress, though.</p>
<p id=”par-3_41″>“Goddamn, she was a big woman,” Elvis told Priscilla and friends, per her book <em>Elvis and Me</em>. “Body like a man — no hips, and shoulders broader than mine. I was embarrassed to take my goddamn shirt off next to her.”</p>

<p id=”par-4_24″>Priscilla saw Andress as an “alluring sex goddess,” so Elvis’ harsh words surprised her. She asked if he found Andress pretty, which he denied.</p>
<p id=”par-5_22″>“‘Pretty?’ he snickered. ‘Hell, she had a bone structure so sharp, it could cut you in half if you turned too fast.’”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-ursula-andress-said-she-enjoyed-working-with-elvis-presley”>Ursula Andress said she enjoyed working with Elvis Presley</h2>
<p id=”par-6_9″>Andress, on the other hand, spoke highly of Elvis.</p>
<p id=”par-7_54″>“The only way I knew him was from TV, this new idol, this hip-swinging lover with a guitar,” she said, per <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/music/1579786/Elvis-Presley-Ursula-Andress-Bond-girl-affair-Fun-In-Acapulco-Priscilla-Graceland” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Express</a>. “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>
<p id=”par-8_15″>Elvis’ friend and bodyguard, Sonny West, believed Andress’ appreciation of Elvis was more than platonic.</p>
<p id=”par-9_14″>“They were very close,” he said. “She went after him. She wanted him bad.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_25″>Despite this, Elvis didn’t think he had a chance with her. She was married to director John Derek, who was deeply in love with her.</p>
<p id=”par-11_49″>“I’d be goddamned if I’d start a conversation with her and see his possessive eyes glaring at me,” Elvis said. “You know he gave her a car, and on the steering wheel it said, ‘Baby, you’re indispensable.’ Head over heels in love with her. Never saw anything like it.”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-priscilla-presley-had-greater-concerns-about-his-other-co-stars”>Priscilla Presley had greater concerns about his other co-stars</h2>
<p id=”par-12_60″>Elvis often told Priscilla that she had nothing to worry about. This didn’t stop her concerns, though. When Elvis was away on set, she read a constant stream of tabloid stories about his infidelity. The stories were particularly vexing when he <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/elvis-presleys-affair-with-ann-margret-led-him-to-break-his-own-golden-rule.html/”>worked with Ann-Margret Olsson</a> on the film <em>Viva Las Vegas.</em> Newspapers even reported that he proposed to his co-star.</p>
<p id=”par-13_24″>“Suddenly all the months of unbearable silence broke and I screamed, ‘What’s going on here? I’m tired of these secrets. Telephone calls. Notes. Newspapers!’”</p>

<p id=”par-14_11″>Priscilla said her frustrations pushed her to the <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/elvis-presley-affair-ann-margret-priscilla-presley-throw-vase.html/”>point of aggression</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-15_35″>“I picked up a flower vase and hurled it across the room, shattering it against the wall,” she wrote. “‘I hate her!’ I shouted. ‘Why doesn’t she keep her a** in Sweden where she belongs?’”</p>
<p id=”par-16_20″>Elvis continued to deny the relationship, but told Priscilla he wanted a partner who could handle these types of rumors.</p>
