Gail Brewer-Giorgio
Gail Brewer-Giorgio (March 18, 1939 – January 25, 2025) was an American author best known for perpetuating the conspiracy theory that Elvis Presley may have faked his own death. In 1978 she published ''Orion'', a novel based loosely on Presley's life but with an ending that involved the main character faking his own death. At the same time, albums began to appear on Sun Records featuring a masked singer named "Orion" with a voice similar to Presley's. The voice was actually that of Jimmy Ellis. Brewer-Giorgio claimed at the time she had no affiliation with these recordings. However, in the 2015 documentary ''Orion: The Man Who Would Be King'', both Ellis and Brewer-Giorgio say that it was all arranged as a stunt in advance. When the novel ''Orion'' fell out of print and did not succeed, Brewer-Giorgio blamed deliberate publisher neglect and interpreted this as a sign that she had gotten "too close to the truth" and Presley may in reality still be alive. She then wrote and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
