Interview with Sheila Ryan
By Elvis Australia (Source: Elvis World Japan April 15, 2006)

Interview with Sheila Ryan who was was Elvis' girlfriend after Linda Thompson. Sheila was the Oct.'73 Playboy cover girl and married James Caan in '76 (divorced in '77).

Q : When was the first time you met Elvis?

A : The first time I met Elvis I was in Las Vegas and Joe Esposito brought me backstage after I think it was the second show of the night and he came out of the dressing room and there was a waiting room outside of the dressing room. And he came out and he had this towel wrapped around his neck and there were, I don't know, maybe thirty people in the room and he walks out and the first thing that he does, I mean, the first thing that happens is our eyes meet, you know. And everyone noticed that, particularly the girl that he was seeing at the time. I mean, it was just sort of but that once in a lifetime magical thing, you know. He just walks out of the room and boom, you know what it's like. A magic. And I knew right at that moment, you know, just like this - knowing that I think most women have, but I certainly did have at that time in my life and I knew that I was gonna spend a lot of time with him.

Q : So you clicked instantly?

A : Instantly. I did, doesn't happen any more instant than that happened. It was fate.

Q : Did Elvis throw a grape at you?

A : Oh, yeah, He did throw a grape at me, yes, and I'm still not sure actually why he threw that grape at me. Joe Esposito has said that he threw it at me on purpose so that he could have a reason to come over and talk with me. I thought that he threw it at Joe for bringing, you know, an attractive woman and it was a jealousy kind of a thing. I thought, but I'm still not sure to this day and I don't know that I ever will be, really.

Q : What were Elvis' first words to you?

A : Elvis's first words to me were, "I'm sorry." I mean, really, it was an amazing shot, actually, you know. He's probably fifteen feet away and I was playing cool because, after that first look, you know, I didn't really need to know anything else that night. His girlfriend was there. I wasn't gonna make a scene, you know, but how he flung that grape and hit me right between the eyes, in the forehead, it is amazing to me.

Q : You're probably the only woman in the world who's been in that situation.

A : It hit by a grape, yes.

Q : Did you start talking that night?

A : No, I didn't get to talk with Elvis that night. Other than when he came over and he kneeled down and was apologizing and apologizing and apologizing and I was feeling uncomfortable because I knew that his girlfriend was watching and there was no mistake in what was going on between the two of us. It was, you know, one of those things. So he then got up and had to leave and, you know, be with the rest of the people in the room and so I took my cue and left. You know, almost immediately. Asked Joe Esposito to walk me out and so I didn't get to talk to him that night.

Q : When was the next time that you saw Elvis?

A : I had been in an apartment and I was changing apartments and, as I said before, at that time in my life, I just had a knowing, I knew things. You know, so my phone was disconnected for two days because I was transferring from one apartment to another and I knew that Joe was desperately trying to reach me. I just knew it and as soon as the phone was connected, I mean, the phone man was there and he put the thing in the thing and the phone rang and it was Joe. And, you know, I just said, "Hi, Joe." And he said, "God how did you know it was me? Where in the heck have you been and boss is just like," you know, he was just like not angry but frustrated that he hadn't been able to reach me for two days and I just kinda laughed. And he said, "My boss likes you and he wants to see you."

Q : Did you go on a big date with Elvis?

A : Yes, I went on a big date with Elvis. Big, big date. It lasted about two years. That's a big date.

Q : What were the type of things that you would do?

A : Elvis and I used to hide, you know. We would sneak out in the middle of the night and go get ice cream and it was like helicopters and the armed guard would come out and, you know, seek us out and hold us at gunpoint and be like, get back to the hotel. Of course, I'm exaggerating, but, yeah, we did, you know, just tried to be little kids, bad little kids. And he entertained me. The second night that I was there, our second evening together, he took me out on the balcony of the International Suite, you know, the big suite in Las Vegas that was sort of his home when he was in Las Vegas. And he sang to me. And he would sing a lot and we would read and have fun. We did have fun.

Q : Was there a special song?
