Описание: Elvis Presley's Bodyguard Grabbed Bruce Lee's Collar Backstage — Elvis Watched From The Doorway

Las Vegas Hilton. August 1972. Forty minutes before Elvis Presley's sold-out show.Bruce Lee was invited. The arrangement was real. The paperwork was not. His name was not on the list.Red West had been at Elvis's side since they were teenagers in Memphis. He was not a hired professional. He was the man Elvis trusted with the things that could not be managed by someone only doing a job. When he found an unfamiliar man in the restricted backstage corridor, he did what he always did. He reached out. Grabbed the collar. Applied pressure.Bruce Lee did not move in the direction of the pressure.What happened next took less than ten seconds. Red West looked at his own hand afterward the way a person looks at a mechanism that has failed to operate as designed. He had been doing this job for fifteen years. Nobody had done that.Then a voice came from the dressing room doorway. Immediately recognizable to anyone who had ever heard it on a record. The voice said two words. Red West stepped back.Elvis Presley had been watching from the doorway. How long he had been standing there, nobody said.What Elvis said to Red West afterward was heard by three people in that corridor. None of them have spoken about it publicly. What Red West did three weeks later, on his next free day, tells you something about what those words were.This is a fictional dramatization. Elvis Presley's serious study of karate and his documented connection to James Coburn's martial arts circle informed this scenario. Red West is a real historical figure who served as Elvis's head of security. The specific backstage encounter and all dialogue are imagined.
