kiss you yet? Linda Thompson: He kissed me the first night. Larry King: In the movie theater. Linda Thompson: In the movie theater, yes. It was fun. He was very respectful and very much the southern gentleman. He was a very dichotimous human being, very paradoxical. On the one hand, you know, he had this raucous image, and he did have a raucous sense of humor, irreverent sense of humor. But he was very pious on another level and very puritanical... Larry King: A lot of southerners are, aren't they? Linda Thompson: A lot of southerners are. We're -- yes. Larry King: All right. So, from day two, how did this get wind? Did you have to go to the Miss USA pageant? Linda Thompson: I had already been. And Jeannie was my roommate, so she had moved to Memphis. I didn't want to go back to school, and I lacked 12 credits graduating from University of Memphis. And I decided I wasn't going to go back and get my degree. And we were kind of contemplating what we were going to do, maybe move to New York, maybe start modeling, yes. I had had some contact with an Agency back then. So, I was doing some modeling locally. And we thought about maybe going to New York. But then Elvis came along and swept me off my feet. Larry King: By swept you, what happened in the ensuing days? Linda Thompson: Well, interestingly enough, I disappeared for two weeks.
