Linda Thompson, Elvis' former girlfriend says Elvis would be `ageing gracefully` at 75. Thompson lived with Elvis at Graceland after he divorced Priscilla Presley. The couple split shortly before he died on August 16, 1977. If Elvis Presley were alive today, he wouldn't be All Shook Up at turning 75, instead he would be 'ageing gracefully,' says Linda. Linda Thompson made her comments on the eve of the singer's 75th birthday, which would have been on January 8. She said: 'If Elvis were still alive today, he'd be laughing and still making jokes and hopefully be aging as gracefully as the rest of us are trying to.' The former beauty queen lived with the King of Rock 'n' Roll for four-and-a-half years after meeting him in 1972, following his split from wife Priscilla Presley. Now 58, Thompson – who is the mother of reality TV star Brody Jenner – claims the singer took her virginity when she was 22. But she says he never stopped womanizing when they were dating. 'Elvis loved women and women loved Elvis,' says Thompson who claims Presley was very open about cheating on her. 'He would say, 'You know what, I'm just not gonna lie to you. There was this girl that was around but honey, it just made me appreciate you more'.' Thompson added that Elvis was a tender lover and a great kisser. 'He was an amazing kisser. Elvis had beautiful lips and they were like kissing fluffy marshmallows,' she said.
