Linda Thompson made a glamorous appearance at the premiere of the new Elvis Presley concert film, EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert. The 75-year-old songwriter and former actress, who famously dated the King of Rock and Roll in the ’70s, turned heads at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood, California. Thompson dazzled in a stylish black midi dress covered in sequins, complemented by cheetah-print heels and a matching handbag, adding a touch of flair to her ensemble.
Thompson’s relationship with Presley spanned four years from 1972 to 1976, following his split from ex-wife Priscilla Presley. In her memoir, A Little Thing Called Life, Thompson candidly reflected on the challenges they faced, particularly during Presley’s struggles with prescription drug addiction in the late ’70s. Despite her deep feelings for him, Thompson realized that staying with Presley would require sacrifices she was not willing to make, especially in terms of starting a family.
After parting ways with Presley, Thompson went on to marry Caitlyn Jenner in 1981, with whom she shares two sons, Brandon and Brody. Prior to her marriage with Jenner, Thompson was also married to David Foster for over a decade before their divorce in 2005.
EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert is set to hit theaters for an exclusive 1-week IMAX engagement on Friday, February 20, followed by a nationwide release on February 27.
Linda Thompson’s presence at the premiere of EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert not only showcased her timeless style but also offered a glimpse into her storied past with the legendary musician.
