Elvis Presley wasn't shooting movies or touring, the star would enjoy his own playground at home at Graceland. Being a night owl, The King and his inner circle would head out into Memphis after dark to avoid fans, renting out huge venues in the early hours of the morning, including movie theatres. Now the star's step-brother Billy Stanley has shared precious memories of Elvis' final visit to the cinema with Lisa Marie and Ginger Alden, just four days before he died.
On August 12, 1977, Elvis planned to get a copy of the new sci-fi hit Star Wars to watch with his nine-year-old daughter. Unable to get one, The King asked his Memphis Mafia to track down the new James Bond movie for him. He then drove Lisa Marie and his last girlfriend Ginger to the Southbrook Theatre, just south of Graceland, to see Roger Moore's third 007 movie The Spy Who Loved Me.
His step-brother Billy, the son of Vernon Presley's second wife Dee Stanley, was in attendance as one of hi inner circle and shared his memories of seeing movies with the star there. In a new video with Elvis expert Spa Guy, Billy shared how he would get film copies of the movies at The King's request. The star's half-brother remembered: "All the movies we saw weren't actually in the theatres at the time.
They were just in transit around all over and Memphis had a big hub going to all these cities and I would go and pick them up and take them back. "Elvis would come in the back entrance of the cinema and be met by his Memphis Mafia who had prepared his snacks and seat for him ahead of time. Billy shared: "He didn't like sitting on the side, even if it wasn't that much.

Elvis Presley dated his final lover Ginger Alden, who he proposed to and who would tragically find him dead on August 16, 1977, after a heart attack on the toilet.
