Elvis (and friend) at the Jefferson Hotel Coffee Shop - 1956

"With his date for the day, whom he met at the Jefferson Hotel, Elvis has a bowl of soup at the hotel coffee shop while showing her the script for The Steve Allen Show."

Make sure to check out "Elvis at 21: Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer" at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, running through March 18th. And this Sunday the 8th from 1-3pm, Barbara Gray, the "Mystery Woman" from the photo below, and others will help celebrate Elvis' birthday, sign autographs and pose for photos.
