Are some prices too high to pay-even for the King of Rock 'n' Roll?
In 1967, Elvis Presley bought a magnificent, dark four-poster bed that once belonged to silent screen legend Rudolph Valentino. He ignored the chilling warnings of its seller, the Hollywood astrologer Norvell.
The bed carried a sinister history. Originally cursed by Valentino's vengeful wife, Natasha Rambowa, after she found her best friend in it with her husband, the antique left a trail of psychological torment, broken careers, and sudden, tragic deaths. From silent star Mae Murray and actor Tyrone Power to television's Superman, George Reeves-and rumored even to have hosted Marilyn Monroe and Robert Kennedy-its occupants met with strange presences, sudden heart attacks, controversies, and dark ends.
Before the public gates ever opened in 1982, Priscilla Presley gave a strict order: The bed must be removed.
In The Curse of Elvis's Bed, Dyva Gibbs weaves a haunting tale of Hollywood legends, occult rumors, and the lingering weight of a dark legacy that ultimately had to be carried away under cover of night.
