People don't really realize how much of a true legitimate friend of Elvis Mary Jenkins was. She did something remarkably rare and Brave. When so many other people back during that time frame that knew Elvis were working with publishing companies to help them write books about Elvis, Mary flat refused to sell her stories for others to write books in her name, because she knew they would twist some of the facts and try to make Elvis look bad. She literally hung up the phone on and slammed the door shut on people regularly trying to offer her money to talk about Elvis in a book. They flat-out told her they "didn't want all the positive stories about the man" that she herself considered a true friend, and described almost like a big brother. They told her matter-of-factly they wanted "the dirt". She was like "What 'dirt'? I don't have any negative if that's what you're looking for. All I have are stories of a wonderful human being that was much more like a family member, then a boss". And the thing is Mary could have really used the money she would have made if she had just went with a publisher that would have covered most of the trouble and Publishing. But it shows us what a true friend she was because she refused. We saw what happened when other people went after the money and let their stories fall into loose hands where the books made Elvis look bad or gave a tainted View that made things out to be more negative than they really were. Mary said "find someone else because I'm not one of those people". So it wasn't easy for her, it took her a bit longer and she had to use some of her own money but she did finally publish her own book. But her experience shines a spotlight on the reason why so many journalists and publishing companies have a reputation for being Sleazy and slimy. I know of a couple other people that knew Elvis that said they had the same experience as Mary ...of people knocking on their doors offering them money to "spill dirt on Elvis" and made it clear they "didn't want positive stuff". Really is pretty damn disgusting when we think about it. And I'm glad & appreciative for the few people like Mary that told those type of folks to "take a walk". There are a few that later on regretted they took the money and shared their stories with some of those publishing companies. But unfortunately it was too late. Damage was done. And false narratives & pictures painted. There's a lesson there. Mary felt strongly that since Elvis wasn't alive to defend himself there had already been enough damage done by thoughtless people and she wasn't going to be part of that. So she made damn sure that if anything came from her, she was going to give Elvis back his Humanity... because that's the least he deserved. This soft-spoken sweet lady had the heart of a lion when it came to making sure her friend (Elvis) story was told properly. We all should only be so fortunate to have a friend like her after we're gone. Rest In Peace to her & Elvis
It's called character. Ms. Jenkins was raised in a time by people that taught you silly things like, "If you don' have something nice to say, don't say anything at all", "Treat others the way you would like to be treated", "Discretion is the better part of valor". Old fashioned ideas like that.
Cissy Houston(Whitney’s mom) Song background for him in Los Vegas and she had nothing but good things to say about him and the months together. She is not one to hold back on how she feels so I have to believe her and others. People dont know that his story was like Britney as far as he had no control of his Career. The Colonel Wayne even let him travel overseas to perform because he will get deported. He couldn’t pick out his own music songs style anything. His story is like so many superstars. He was the king to the world but had no control over his own life.
Ms. Sonshine ~ Neither did his fiancee, Ginger Alden. Despite Dick Grob's attempt to smear her good name by insisting she went to the Enquirer and all that crap (the Enquirer later released the tape proving it was Dick Grob who in fact, notified the rag.)
Linda has a movie called 'The Beauty Queen', didnt trash him in public? watch the movie then you will know. her book also was so downright stupid, no love by Elvis just lust. Linda is no Saint.
Mary Jenkins thank you with all my heart for taking care of Elvis Presley..you were very much a strong portion of sanity to him. I wish I had the opportunity to have met him or just to have been in the same room with him. His smile always touched my soul with everythings going to be alright.. God Bless Elvis. God Bless Mary Jenkins. God Bless Joan Rivers..
What a gracious lady. She really did have some memories to tell and wonderful life experiences. She was born in 1922 and died in 2000 🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
She knew more/saw more than what she really said about Elvis. It's called loyalty. What ever went on at Graceland Whatever was said within those walls. In her opinion is something that she took to her grave.
Unlike many people around Elvis, who bled that man dry mentally, emotionally & financially, I truly believe he & Mary had a very special kind of relationship. I think Mary absolutely adored & doted on Elvis, & saw past his celebrity status, which Elvis found so very comforting. He wanted to buy her a forever home & a vehicle because that was Elvis’ love language; he showered people with gifts as a show of love, but sadly people took advantage of this. Mary spoke of his final days & how he didn’t want to eat / just wanted to rest, & how on one occasion he looked at her & in a rather serious tone, asked if he could stay with her, & she said ‘you can stay with me any time Elvis, you know that’ - that just breaks my heart. His house was full of ‘people’ but he’d never felt lonelier. Bless Mary, & all she did for Elvis. I suspect she’s no longer with us? I don’t doubt for the remainder of her years on earth she had a guardian Angel in Elvis keeping watch over her; now she’s up there, & he saved her the best seat in the house right beside him, where they’ll sing church songs forever more.

I am so tickled. Today May 21st. 2024 I just picked up a copy of Mary's book she features here with Joan Rivers "Elvis, Memories beyond Graceland Gates" in almost new condition at a antique store for a few bucks as I collect Elvis memorabilia. To my surprise when I got home, the inside forward is signed autographed by "Mary Jenkins, Elvis's cook" and a date in blue ink.

I’m sure Miss Mary is singing with Elvis . Love, light and blessings to her family , friends and loved ones. She definitely had a larger than life personality.
Elvis was a special human being. He was given a blessing of amazing talent and carried a great weight as well. As imperfect as any of us, he treated everyone with respect and I've never heard anyone who knew him say he treated them any other way.
I love this lady Mary Jenkins. She is so sweet and she really loved and respected Elvis. Elvis bought her a house. She only had good things to say about Elvis. I am glad that she never said an unkind word about him. Elvis was a generous and kind man.
I never heard anyone talk bad about Elvis. Elvis was handsome in body, handsome in face, kind in heart, very good musician with a beautiful voice (in fact a genius musician) and above all very spiritual. People like Elvis are not meant to live long in this earth full of bad guys. May Elvis rest in peace and may the earth be light to him. I repeat, never heard anyone talk bad about Elvis.
All the media ever really wants is to dig up dirt, that's what sells. But Mary never would have any of it. She always spoke the truth, loved Elvis and defended him till the end. That's says alot about what classy people Elvis and Mary were.
Elvis was a great man. I love hearing about how kind and genuine he was to everyone ❤️. Mary really respected Elvis, I love that about her. Ride or die friend she was.
Such a classy and dignified woman. Reminds me so much of my grand auntie who recently passed. I am glad that she took such good care of Elvis, and Elvis took care of her.
@@mcroley591 why do you care??? She’s referring to her mannerism, her tone….to those of us who are black…she reminds us of our BLACK grandmothers. She does not sound like a white or Spanish grandmother…but a black one. So get over yourself.

SHES MY FAVORITE OF ALL OF ELVIS'S EMPLOYEES! LOOK HOW HONORABLE SHE WAS! SHE COULDVE MADE MILLIONS WITH A TELL ALL BOOK, LIKE THE REST OF HIS SO/CALLED FRIENDS.....NOPE, SHE STUCK IT OUT TILL THE END! YEARS AFTER HE DIED......THEY DONT MAKE WOMEN LIKE THAT ANYMORE! YOU CAN FEEL THE LOVE AS SHE SPEAKS OF HIM.....IM SURE BY NOW SHE HAS PASSED ON, AND IS WITH ELVIS IN HEAVEN, ENJOYING P.B. AND BANANNA SANDWICHES TOGETHER...WHAT A DOLL!
@@lizi.2503 she was The only stand up one! That really loved him...the rest of them put all his laundry out there......And to think? of the life they wouldve never dreamed of having without Elvis, they met and caroused with presidents and superstars, and lived with Elvis Presley, that alone? is enough....Being around gretness in its purist form...But to me this lady is just as special as Elvis......
She stayed loyal to him ever beat. Joan couldn’t make her turn on him! She stayed positive and answered every question quickly and calmly. I believe he loved his staff.
how wonderful it must be to have so much and to be able to bless people. change their lives , their family lives. Elvis was beautiful, inside and out. unlike so many in our society today who dont pay taxes and consider the "jobs" they provide all they need to give. some have wealth that could change the world.
Miss Mary had very kind words on another Doco about Elvis after his passing on how he came to her bedroom and asked to stay with her, on saying he could He smilies then faded away into Eternity ❤
Que bom que Elvis teve uma pessoa leal a seu lado, cuidando e respeitando sua vida!! É admirável o carinho e gratidão que ela tinha por Elvis, com certeza ele era um bom ser humano, protetor e carinhoso! Todos nós temos defeitos e qualidades, porém as qualidades de Elvis eram superiores.
Mary the greatest I wish I had met you in Memphis, I probably saw you on the backyard . My friend Carl pickle had a rich aunt who lived in the house on the right side of Graceland. We were 8 years old.. back then I remember seeing a white Cadillac underneath the carport in the back of the house. That was around 1963 for 1964
What a sweetheart of a lady. I’m sure The King is anxiously awaiting her in heaven. I sure could go for one of Mary’s fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches right now. Where ever you are now Mary, I hope you are well 🙏
ELVIS 😇♥️ was a GIVER 💜🤑🏘️💎🚙🚜💍💰 He bought a house 🏡 new and expensive vehicle 🚙🚜 jewelry 💍💎 for his chef name Mary Jenkins 🤩 and her family and and he spent time with her too. Elvis 😇💖 also bought vehicles 🚜 jewelry 💍💎 and other things for his other cooks.
The fact that they said Elvis was a racist I knew was a lie because if he was why would he do all of this for his black cook this doesn't make sense I always been a fan of Elvis and always will no many how many people say that I will remain to love Elvis for the rest of my life
She never had to pay a mortgage or make a car payment. Elvis took care of his employees.
That’s why you can’t always listen to people. All my life I heard, he was a racist. Those are not racist actions 🤦🏽♀️

Elvis and his family did alot of black families in that area. It was just kept quiet. We're hoping to bring more stories out there. He was a good man.

Elvis, I still miss you.
SHES MY FAVORITE OF ALL OF ELVIS'S EMPLOYEES! LOOK HOW HONORABLE SHE WAS! SHE COULDVE MADE MILLIONS WITH A TELL ALL BOOK, LIKE THE REST OF HIS SO/CALLED FRIENDS.....NOPE, SHE STUCK IT OUT TILL THE END! YEARS AFTER HE DIED......THEY DONT MAKE WOMEN LIKE THAT ANYMORE! YOU CAN FEEL THE LOVE AS SHE SPEAKS OF HIM.....IM SURE BY NOW SHE HAS PASSED ON, AND IS WITH ELVIS IN HEAVEN, ENJOYING P.B. AND BANANNA SANDWICHES TOGETHER...WHAT A DOLL!
😭💔
@@lizi.2503 she was The only stand up one! That really loved him...the rest of them put all his laundry out there......And to think? of the life they wouldve never dreamed of having without Elvis, they met and caroused with presidents and superstars, and lived with Elvis Presley, that alone? is enough....Being around gretness in its purist form...But to me this lady is just as special as Elvis......
Good for Mary another devoted employee and friend to Elvis and his family Elvis did take care of his employees
She stayed loyal to him ever beat. Joan couldn’t make her turn on him! She stayed positive and answered every question quickly and calmly. I believe he loved his staff.
Thank you Mary you r a great lady
A great interview with ms .mary. god bless her 🙏 she loved ep 4 sure
Great lady! Elvis took care of her and purchased a home for her!
She loved Elvis. Says alot about him.
Thank you for Shareing this story with us. 🙂❤👏👏 awesome
how wonderful it must be to have so much and to be able to bless people. change their lives , their family lives. Elvis was beautiful, inside and out. unlike so many in our society today who dont pay taxes and consider the "jobs" they provide all they need to give. some have wealth that could change the world.
God Bless Elvis Presley 🙏❤️
elvis was a very kind hearted man....bout mary a cosy home and a car
Miss Mary had very kind words on another Doco about Elvis after his passing on how he came to her bedroom and asked to stay with her, on saying he could He smilies then faded away into Eternity ❤
People that say he was a racist need to talk to this precious lady
Que bom que Elvis teve uma pessoa leal a seu lado, cuidando e respeitando sua vida!! É admirável o carinho e gratidão que ela tinha por Elvis, com certeza ele era um bom ser humano, protetor e carinhoso! Todos nós temos defeitos e qualidades, porém as qualidades de Elvis eram superiores.
Mary the greatest I wish I had met you in Memphis, I probably saw you on the backyard . My friend Carl pickle had a rich aunt who lived in the house on the right side of Graceland. We were 8 years old.. back then I remember seeing a white Cadillac underneath the carport in the back of the house. That was around 1963 for 1964
Mary used the front door ...you may have saw her on the front lawn....She would often chat with Vernon and his brother Vester.
Too bad Joan wouldn't let her talk.
Joan was digging for dirt on Elvis. She didn't want to hear anything good about him.
@@Shay-wl4lx you are so right..joan could be such a rude clown at times...trying to find the ugly on a person
Love her X
She was his true auntie and protector
She's a gem 💎 ✨️ 💖 😍 💕
THANK U SO MUCH
What class. God bless you. TX
Mary Jenkins and Joan Rivers rest in peace. I love you both ❤️❤️❤️❤️😢😢.
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers 🙏🙏.
Woman of class and respect. Loyal. ❤️🇦🇺
What a sweetheart of a lady. I’m sure The King is anxiously awaiting her in heaven. I sure could go for one of Mary’s fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches right now. Where ever you are now Mary, I hope you are well 🙏
She is in heaven!
This is more of an investigation as opposed to an interview. She needed to converse instead of prosecute or cross examine.
ELVIS 😇♥️ was a GIVER 💜🤑🏘️💎🚙🚜💍💰 He bought a house 🏡 new and expensive vehicle 🚙🚜 jewelry 💍💎 for his chef name Mary Jenkins 🤩 and her family and and he spent time with her too. Elvis 😇💖 also bought vehicles 🚜 jewelry 💍💎 and other things for his other cooks.
Beautiful lady
So much love she has ❤
Unfortunately it appears that Elvis was extremely depressed towards the end.
He was exhausted.
The man was squeezed as a lime for the benefit of others.
He wanted his wife back
The fact that they said Elvis was a racist I knew was a lie because if he was why would he do all of this for his black cook this doesn't make sense I always been a fan of Elvis and always will no many how many people say that I will remain to love Elvis for the rest of my life
I heard her when she said “that’s what they said.” We are more knowledgeable now knowing what the media says it is may not be what it is.
Mary and Elvis where close like his 2nd mum...u can tell he loved her✨️🥰💜
Elvis treated her so good!
Very nice. She is a loyal person, which is rare.
God bless Mary may she RIP
What a lovely woman.
