Linda Thompson (1972-1976)

Linda Thompson was one of the last women Elvis dated before he died. The pair got into a relationship shortly after meeting in Memphis in 1972. In an August 2016 interview with Entertainment Tonight, the actor revealed she had always been an Elvis fan and imagined them getting married one day.

After they began dating, Thompson said she lost her virginity to the rock star. She wanted to settle down with him, however, his infidelity and drug use broke them apart. "I didn't think that lifestyle would be conducive to family life," she told ET. "I had to make a decision. It was a tough one and I felt depleted once I left." Elvis and Thompson separated in 1976 just months before his death.
