Elvis Presley is not called a King for no reason. From timeless hit songs, sold-out concerts, and crowds worldwide that chant his name on every public appearance, Elvis was certainly royalty in music. On top of all that, he had a personality and aura capable of snatching some of the most beautiful women ever known. One of these ladies he snatched was Ginger Alden, the last woman he loved before he died.

Ginger Alden is an actress born November 13, 1956, in Memphis, Tennessee, USA. She met Elvis at Graceland when she was twenty years old while the music icon was forty-two; yes, there is a twenty-two-year gap between the two. But the age gap was just one of the factors that caused these two to have a little problem when they started dating.
Elvis and Ginger’s love story started after Presley and Linda Thompson broke up. Many claimed that Alden is not welcomed by Presley’s inner circle, known as the “Memphis Mafia.” But despite these reservations from his mates, Ginger was still able to get a 70K dollar ring from the rockstar and become Presley’s fiancée, the only one Elvis proposed to besides Priscilla.
Elvis Presley’s Death
But their romance didn’t last long as Elvis was found dead on the floor of his bathroom at Graceland but none other than his fiancé, Ginger. Before his death, Elvis was said to be ready to come back on stage and perform after some rest due and being exhausted physically and mentally. Alden also revealed that Elvis told her he ‘never felt so happy in his life.’
After the death of her fiancé, she is not permitted to come close to the Presley residence. Ginger also stayed away from the spotlight and was not seen by many. It was not until 2014 that Ginger reentered the headlines and released her autobiography, Elvis and Ginger. Ginger Alden’s book about Elvis revealed many different sides of the King.
Remembering the King of Rock and Roll
She talked about their good and bad days and how she felt Elvis changed throughout their time together. Ginger even mentioned how Elvis once fired a gun on their television set, ‘hit’ her, and apologized afterward. Ginger Alden’s memories of Elvis Presley were written in the book, and fans felt they had seen Elvis’s life when he dated Ginger.
Currently, Ginger Alden is in her 60s and quietly living in her hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. She’s let go of the limelight and is enjoying her life, posting on social media, and remembering her past lover, Elvis. She might be one of the most disliked ladies the King of Rock and Roll dated, but she was the one that saw the last moments Elvis lived in this world.
