In other election news not related to Washington’s August 2 primary, in the summer of 1962, the World’s Fair was underway at what’s now Seattle Center.
That old movie is no “Citizen Kane,” but it still stands up as safe, anodyne family entertainment from the simpler days of the Kennedy Administration, and it’s a classic Elvis vehicle with lush cinematography and plenty of forgettable songs. It’s also a nice time capsule of certain parts of Seattle 60 years ago, all shot on the finest early 1960s Hollywood film stock.
“He took me to dinner and I cried,” said Cayetano, who felt far away from her parents and eight siblings in California¬ “I still remember crying over dinner, telling him that I missed my family.” As for Vicky Cayetano, she never made another film and never crossed paths with Elvis prior to his death in 1977. Cayetano moved to Hawaii about 40 years ago, and she met her second husband – Democrat Ben Cayetano – and they married when he was serving as Hawaii’s governor. Now, Vicky Cayetano – who runs a huge commercial laundry business in Honolulu – wants her husband’s old job.“To bring our young people back here to Hawaii,” Cayetano said.
“I don’t know how much the ad resonated with younger audiences,” Blair told KIRO Newsradio. “To someone of a certain age, it was very appealing.” Speaking of money, one fact about the production of the film during the fair that only recently came to light is what Colonel Tom Parker – Elvis Presley’s manager and the guy Tom Hanks is playing in the Elvis biopic – said to a Seattle Center executive back in 1970.at the Seattle Center Coliseum .
“And he said, ‘You covered everything-plus,” Larsen said, chuckling at the memory – of what seems like a foreshadowing of exploits which various sports franchises would attempt on an exponentially larger scale in subsequent decades. “I’d sit in my office and look down below, and I’d see Elvis Presley and these guys playing tag football on the cement there,” Fisher said.
“Actually the first date was in the hotel,” Fisher explained. “We just stayed up in his suite at the hotel and ordered pizza and watched TV. And then the second date, we went to the movies and saw an Elvis Presley movie.”
