"All Shook Up" Musical Cast MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA - August 7, 2008 - At 68 years old, it is the bop that won't stop for Kay Wheeler who founded the Nation's First and Largest Elvis Presley Fan club back in 1956 and starred in one of the first rock and roll movies, Rock Baby Rock It.
The Mountain View Center for Performing Arts invited Wheeler, who is now a real estate broker in the San Francisco Bay area, to share with the All Shook Up cast a historical perspective of teens in the 50s to help them get into their roles and to recreate for them some of the original dance steps that she showed to Elvis when she first met him in San Antonio, Texas on April 15, 1956.
The 21 year old Presley was appearing at the Municipal Auditorium there and was billed as the "Atomic Powered Singer." Wheeler met with Elvis on 6 more occasions in her teenage years and headed up a fan club of over 65,000 members worldwide.
Kay Wheeler was inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame and was also a girlfriend of Elvis. She also appeared in the teen mania flick Hot Rod Gang in 1958.
Kay lives a normal life now in the Bay Area and she says, "My teen times with Elvis and the birth of rock and roll in the 50s have left a smile on my face that just won't go away!"
Wheeler has a published autobiography called Growing Up With the Memphis Flash. When she was interviewed on Brian Williams NBC Nightly News, she further explained Elvis' phenomenal popularity, "He's what every girl wants; what every man wants to be
- and on stage, he's a hunk, a hunk of burning love!"
