Elvis Presley’s Former Flame Shares Intimate Behind-the-Scenes Images of Graceland<\/a> originally appeared on Parade<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Graceland is a place thousands of people visit every year, but it’s a very controlled environment. While you can go into the home, there are lots of roped-off areas you’re not allowed to enter. Instead, you can look in from behind the ropes.<\/p>\n

On Monday, August 11th, Elvis Presley’s <\/strong>former girlfriend, Linda Thompson<\/strong>, showed us what life looked like on the other side of the ropes. She was allowed behind the scenes, and she took the world with her in this Instagram post:<\/p>\n

First of all, she’s stunning. She looks so happy to be back here: these are her old stomping grounds. Linda Thompson lived at Graceland from 1972 to 1976, though she and Elvis had broken up<\/a> by August 16th, 1977, when he died.<\/p>\n

At that point, he was actually engaged<\/a> to Ginger Alden, <\/strong>a model\/actress, though Alden never lived at Graceland.<\/p>\n

Linda Thompson did, though, and she returned to the Memphis mansion a few days ahead of the 48th anniversary of his death. She’s visited before, and she’s allowed behind-the-scenes access to her old home.<\/p>\n

Allegedly, she’s even been allowed upstairs, though she wouldn’t publish photos of that: it’s against their policy. She was allowed to get up-close-and-personal with several of the iconic displays, <\/a> including:<\/p>\n

    The fur-coated chair in the Jungle Room.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This is just amazing. To get this close to the displays at Graceland would be a total dream!<\/p>\n
