Qui va sortir amb Anita Wood?

Anita Marie Wood Brewer, coneguda també com a Little Bitty i Little (27 de maig de 1938), és una actriu de televisió i cantant estatunidenca i antiga parella d'Elvis Presley. Més tard es va casar amb el jugador de futbol americà de la NFL Johnny Brewer, jugador en la posició de tight end als Cleveland Browns i als New Orleans Saints.

Presley i Wood es van conèixer en 1957 i ja aquell any Presley es referia a Wood com la seva "noia número 1". Van festejar seriosament diversos anys, entre 1957 i 1962. Wood va signar un contracte per treballar com a actriu per la Paramount Pictures, però més tard va deixar la interpretació per Presley. En 1976, Johnny Brewer va demandar la Memphis Publishing Company per libel quan aquesta va informar que Anita Brewer s'havia divorciat de Brewer i reunit amb Presley a Las Vegas. Anita Wood va aparèixer en el show televisiu de Larry King en 2005 per parlar sobre el seu idil·li amb Elvis Presley.

Anita va enregistrar per les discogràfiques ABC-Paramount (1958); Sun (1961); i Santo (1963). Va treballar també en el Show d'Andy Williams (estiu de 1958) i la seva veu apareix, encara que no surt a la llista de cantants, amb Williams en The Hawaiian Wedding Song (Ke Kali Nei Au) (Cançó hawaiana de casament), un cançó que va entrar al Top 15 a començaments de 1959.

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer and actor. Referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll", he is widely regarded as one of the most culturally significant figures of the 20th century. Presley's energetic and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, brought both great success and initial controversy.

Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi; his family moved to Memphis, Tennessee, when he was 13. He began his music career in 1954 at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African-American music to a wider audience. Presley, on guitar and accompanied by lead guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, was a pioneer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. In 1955, drummer D. J. Fontana joined to complete the lineup of Presley's classic quartet and RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who managed him for the rest of his career. Presley's first RCA Victor single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number-one hit in the US. Within a year, RCA Victor sold ten million Presley singles. With a series of successful television appearances and chart-topping records, Presley became the leading figure of the newly popular rock and roll; though his performing style and promotion of the then-marginalized sound of African Americans led to him being widely considered a threat to the moral well-being of white American youth.

In November 1956, Presley made his film debut in Love Me Tender. Drafted into military service in 1958, he relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work. Presley held few concerts, and, guided by Parker, devoted much of the 1960s to making Hollywood films and soundtrack albums, most of them critically derided. Some of Presley's most famous films included Jailhouse Rock (1957), Blue Hawaii (1961), and Viva Las Vegas (1964). In 1968, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed NBC television comeback special Elvis, which led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency and several highly profitable tours. In 1973, Presley gave the first concert by a solo artist to be broadcast around the world, Aloha from Hawaii. Years of substance abuse and unhealthy eating severely compromised his health, and Presley died in August 1977 at his Graceland estate at the age of 42.

Presley is one of the best-selling music artists in history, having sold an estimated 500 million records worldwide. He was commercially successful in many genres, including pop, country, rock and roll, rockabilly, rhythm and blues, adult contemporary, and gospel. Presley won three Grammy Awards, received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36, and has been posthumously inducted into multiple music halls of fame. He holds several records, including the most Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)-certified gold and platinum albums, the most albums charted on the Billboard 200, the most number-one albums by a solo artist on the UK Albums Chart, and the most number-one singles by any act on the UK Singles Chart. In 2018, Presley was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
