And then, Gladys moved to the large mansion on the hill with mop and bucket in
hand, washboard tied to her back and went to work making Elvis a home he could
be proud of.

They had maids at Graceland while Gladys was alive. I think she just wasn't
the type to have a maid.
I remember reading Alberta was their maid before they moved to Graceland and
after. I have never read anything about the hiring process prospective maids
went through. Seeing as how Elvis hired a great many people just because he
liked them; secretaries, bodyguards . . .

Hmmmm, I wonder why THEY haven't written a book yet!

maids came about.They allways talk about how close Elvis was to them,and how much
they cared for each other,but never an indepth history of how they all came onto
the scene.

Thanks for that information Marty.
Didn't Mary Jenkins write a book called "Beyond the Gates of Graceland?" And, I
think Nancy Rooks has a cookbook available.
Pauline is a lovely woman and I have seen her at numerous Elvis functions.

Elvis bought Gladys her first washing machine, a Bendix (the kind with the
rollers) when they lived at 1414 Getwell Street.
It was still there when David Isom, a businessman with a lot of rental
properties, bought it from the elderly lady who moved there after the Presleys
left. He sold it to a used appliance shop in Memphis, but now wishes he hadn't.

2. He met Maggie when she was coming out of a car dealership and he was going in. She stayed with him until he passed away.
3. Nancy Rooks is still living and tells her stories often at Elvis events in Memphis.
