The March of Dimes is an organization that helps mothers and children. Back in 1956, Joanne Wilson was the poster girl. That's the little girl in this photo with Elvis Presley. Having grown up poor himself, Elvis Presley was incredibly charitable with his money. That's just the kind of guy he was. He was also the kind of guy who would watch twenty TVs at the same time and turn them off by shooting them with his pistol. People are very complex, aren't they?
This photo was taken after he performed live on the Ed Sullivan Show. Joanne Wilson was interviewed and asked if she was a fan of Elvis. Hilariously, she said, “no and I didn't want to kiss him.” She might have been the only girl in the world who didn't want to kiss Elvis at that time. He was the world's biggest star.
