Elvis Presley is one of the few celebrities to have ever lived who was effectively two people during their career. Early Elvis was the hip-shaking, indescribably handsome boy from Tupelo, Mississippi who blended Black and white music and, in the process, raised the blood pressure of distraught parents across the country. Then he was drafted into the Army, according to Britannica, and returned to make a series of movies best described as “mediocre.” In his later years, drug use and a generally unhealthy lifestyle began to take their toll. By the end, he was a caricature of himself. Indeed, when the U.S. Post Office honored him with his own set of stamps, there was serious discussion as to whether the agency should honor Young Elvis or Old Elvis, as The Baltimore Sun notes.

Much like the two Elvises of popular culture, the King of Rock also had two graves, at least for a time. These days, however, he’s down to one; meanwhile, a rumor persists that it wasn’t him who was buried in the grave but a dummy — and that the real Elvis is alive and well.
