| I know for the movie Flaming Star, he wore brown contact lenses for his role as a half- Native American. And then during some of the 70s tours he wore a different type of contact lens to shield his eyes from the bright spotlights. I don't think you can place any credence in studio portraits as different angles, lighting, shadowing can make your eyes any colour the photographer wants. There is a moment in TTWII when he is singing BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER where a white spotlight catches his eyes in a particular way and they are obviously ocean blue. A great picture also exists from the post- Opening '69 Vegas show press conference and it is a very close zoom on Elvis' face and he is laughing; again his eyes are a brilliant blue. | |

| Wow I bet contacts in those days must have hurt. I know my mum said she wore normal contacts during the 70's but they hurt so much, were really hard. Today you can get all sorts of weird and wonderful ones. Wonder if he would have gotten a pair just for a laugh | |

| Wayne Hawthorn interview regarding a 1976 meeting Elvis & Linda thompson "...the first thing that struck us were his piercing BLUE eyes..."
www.elvis.com.au/presley/elvisontour_waynehawthorne.shtml
ELVIS-EXPERTS website say they were blue (they cite Elvis "licence" as stating he had blue eyes- I presume they mean driving licence).
http://en.allexperts.com/q/Presley-Elvis-562/Elvis-Eyes.htm
ACESHOWBIZ Profile also lists his eyes as blue:
http://www.aceshowbiz.com/celebrity/elvis_presley/profile.html
CELEBRITYGENIUS Profile- blue eyes
http://www.celebritygenius.com/Elvis-Presley/
Even Elvis' GUN APPLICATION FORM list his eyes as blue. I think Elvis would know what colour his own eyes were.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/2679137/Elvis-Presleys-gun-permit-application-for-sale.html I think we can lay this one to rest now! (BTW EPE needs to update their records. You say you took the quiz "at EPE"- where exactly were u Essie?) | |
