Photographer's caption reads, "Elvis and Marilyn met three years ago, before she was Marilyn. Back then, she was just a good looking woman from Kansas. But Elvis - already resplendent in his custom-made Elvis suit - fell in love anyway. After a time, or a few times anyway, Marilyn went off on her own. Elvis didn't see her for a year-and-a-half. Then she turned up on the arm of Zorro. It took him two months to win Marilyn back. When I brought them a print of this photograph, they wanted a photo holding their photo - another mirror for the Hollywood hall of mirrors."
