Dead Legs

January 07, 2013 | People

Gloria Pall, whose long sexy legs were seen framing Elvis' face in the 1957 MGM film, 'Jailhouse Rock' has died age 85. She died Dec. 30 of heart failure at a Burbank hospital. Gloria Pall, was the sultry hostess of a 1950' Los Angeles TV show that was cancelled because her character's sexy poses and flirtatious comments were deemed too hot for television. She had a brief acting career which included her "sexy leg" part with Elvis in 'Jailhouse Rock'.

It´s always sad when a human being dies. A person, who has meant the world to her family, friendes etc., and it´s a trageda to these people. ELVIS News: To choose "Dead legs" as the headline is very bad taste and very disrispectful. Sad.

Well finding a good author for this article would have cost an arm and a leg, and with this item the site started the new year on the wrong foot.. But Gloria Pall was already on her last leg the last years.. Maybe Elvisnews tried to pull a leg by chosing this header.. But now that she is six feet under we have to be more respectful in the way we speak of her..

I just watched this movie last night with my fiance (one of her favorite Elvis films) and then I see this story. The title of the article is in bad taste, but she definitely lived a long life compared to the two people behind her legs. It is still hard to think that Judy Tyler was dead before the film opened and of course we lost Elvis way too soon as well. Rest in peace Gloria Pall.
