Is there a actual real picture in existence of Elvis playing pool ,I
googled it and came up with nothing ??? That would be a cool
picture to have . I got one with Clint Eastwood playing and Richard
Pryor and a few others but no Elvis .

I'll bet there aren't too many members of this forum who can remember the TV show, "Mod Squad."

Peggy Lipton was one of the stars of that show, and Elvis Presley was an old boyfriend of hers, so she says.

Peggy Lipton can play some pool too, and she may have learned her shooting strategies from Elvis. In a 1986 interview, she was telling stories about her string of famous flames, including Paul McCartney and Elvis Presley "(in his pilled-out, girdle-wearing phase)."

Well, aside from telling tales on Elvis, she cant' be all that bad: It was 9:45 p.m. Time to play some pool. Ms. Lipton hopped with her friends into their S.U.V. and rode five minutes to Hollywood Billiards. Just walking into the high-ceilinged warehouse, with its 30 pool tables, bouncy 90's-era hip-hop music, sideburned hustlers and giggly 20-something women got Ms. Lipton's blood going.

"I love pool because it's a game of strategy, a game of the eye, and your whole universe is like this," she said, framing a rectangle in the air with her hands. "I really want to become a pool shark."

She may play, but the guy who played her boyfriend on the MOD SQUAD played a litle himself.

While in Denver back in the 80's he stopped into the pool room one night and asked the house man if anyone would want to play. I jumped at it and beat him out of $200. He was a nice guy, very friendly. I THINK his name was Dennis Cole.

Another who plyed a little from that era was Mike Conners who played Mannix. I played him some 1 pocket and won a little. You could tell he knew his way around the table, but said he hadn't played in Years and it showed. No dummy though and very nice guy.

Another time, Chrisopher Loyd {Taxi} came in. I jumped on him too. He was funny but wouldn't bet water is wet.

In Memphis, for $100, at one of the official souvenir shops across from Graceland (Elvis' home), you can play pool on the same table that Presley and the Beatles used during their meeting in Los Angeles in 1965. :D

For a hundred bucks, I guess I'd be playing the ghost!
