According to Variety, actress Jennifer Rae Westley has joined the cast of the forthcoming CBS miniseries "Elvis". The trade says Westley will portray Elvis' (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) first girlfriend and high school sweetheart Dixie Locke. This is the first biopic of The King that has depicted Locke; in other biopics her character is fictionalized. Elvis airs May 8th and 11th on CBS.
