Go Grease Lightning! The Best Facts About The Film

Oh, Elvis!

When Grease was being adapted into a movie, none other than the king, Elvis Presley was offered a role in the film but he ended up turning it down. And what a mistake that turned out to be!

But that didn’t stop production from still including Elvis in the movie and in the song “Look At Me, I’m Sandra Dee,” Rizzo sings to an image of Elvis while singing the lyrics “Elvis, Elvis, let me be, keep that pelvis far from me.” In an unbelievable coincidence, Elvis passed away on the day that scene was shot.
