Baby, Let\u2019s Play House: Elvis Presley and the Women Who Loved Him<\/em>.<\/p>\n\u201cShe looked at the guys and said \u2018I\u2019m sorry. I can\u2019t, but thank you\u2019 and kind of dashed away. He was very embarrassed, but I think she turned him down because she felt it was too public,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
At the time, Monroe was married to the legendary playwright Arthur Miller, but according to Raphael, the marriage \u201cwasn\u2019t going well.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cBut, as marriages go in those days, in New York, you had to be very careful, because there was fault divorces, rather than no-fault divorces,\u201d Raphael explained. <\/p>\n
\u201cAdultery could not only mean money, but tremendous scandal.\u201d<\/p>\n
Raphael claims he was there on the fateful night when Elvis and Marilyn crossed paths for the second time \u2014 and tumbled into bed together.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey came together and, without saying a word, started kissing,\u201d Raphael recalled. <\/p>\n
\u201cI was in shock and I didn\u2019t know what to do. Then Marilyn, who was about 10 years older, said, \u2018You\u2019re pretty good for a guitar player.\u2019 \u201cAfter two minutes, they went into the bedroom, and I didn\u2019t know if I was supposed to leave, or stay and wait for them, so I sort of just dozed off.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Raphael was \u201cstartled awake\u201d by the bedroom door opening and Elvis and Marilyn walking out \u201cstark naked.\u201d<\/p>\n
While it was certainly (allegedly) a night to remember, Raphael says he never mentioned it to another soul while Presley and Monroe were still alive.<\/p>\n
\u201cA few days later, when I mentioned Marilyn to Elvis, he said, \u2018She\u2019s a nice gal, but a little tall for me,’\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cI knew that this was the sort of thing that could ruin their careers. They were two of the most famous people in the world, and Marilyn was still married to Arthur Miller at the time \u2014 so I never said a word.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a testament to the enduring power of Marilyn\u2019s legacy that 64 years after her death, claims about her love life can still make headlines.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
