Eddie Gutierrez shared the fondest memory he had with Susan Roces

Veteran actor Eddie Gutierrez recalled the moment he and his longtime screen partner Susan Roces met King of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley.

Eddie and Susan worked together in several movies under Sampaguita Pictures in the 1960s and Regal Films in the 1980s. At Susan’s wake, Eddie shared a story about the late actress that he will never forget, based on the article in PEP.

When they were shooting for the movie Eddie Love Susie in 1963 in Las Vegas, they waited at the coffee shop in Flamingo Hotel at 3:30 AM just to see Elvis who was scheduled to go out of his room at 6:30 AM.

“Mga 6:35, pagbukas ng [service] elevator, Elvis Presley! Dalawang bodyguard sa harap, dalawang bodyguard sa likod. ‘Elvis!’ sabi ni Susan. Sabi niya [Elvis] sa amin, ‘You folks from the Philippines?’ ‘Yes,’ sabi ko,” Eddie Gutierrez shared.

Then, the famous American artist said, “‘Well, I met some Filipino folks, they surely don’t look like you!’” It was because Elvis met the ReyCards, the singing duo of Carding Castro and Rey Ramirez as they did many shows in Las Vegas.

Eddie also shared that Elvis asked them what they were doing in Las Vegas. The King of Rock and Roll thought that Eddie and Susan were a couple. Then, Elvis told them, “You wanna have a picture with me? C’mon let’s get out in the sun.’”

It was Elvis’s photographer who took their photo. “So, eto na, yung photographer ni Elvis yung kukuha sa amin ng picture. So, ako nandito, si Elvis, si Rosemarie, si Susan nandito sa farther right. Nung kukunan na ng picture, sabi ni Susan, ‘Wait! Wait!’ Hinawakan niya [Susan] si Rosemarie, ibinalibag! Tumabi siya ngayon kay Elvis. Kinunan kami ng picture na yun,” Eddie Gutierrez enthused.

The veteran actor also shared that while Susan and Elvis were talking, he was looking at the latter’s eyes and ears. He even smelled the King of Rock and Roll.

A few days after, Elvis sent them a copy of their photo. “Sabi ko, ‘Sige, Susan, sa ‘yo na ito.’ Nung umuwi na kami ng Pilipinas, after three or four days, may dumating na picture namin. Ipina-photocopy pala ni Susan. Iniregalo sa akin, naka-frame. So, yun ang memories ko kay Susan,” Eddie Gutierrez said.

The veteran actor added that everyone knows that Susan Roces was not just beautiful outside because her heart was also beautiful.
