CHARLES STONE
DARLENE TOMPKINS
Charles Stone, a veteran concert
promoter & producer started his
entertainment career in the mid 60’s
working with all the Gayety
major entertainers
of the time. He met Colonel Tom Parker
, the legendary manager of Elvis Presley. Charles along with
others joined forces with Elvis & the Colonel in the 70’s & this
team toured around America with Elvis.
Charles has written a book titled “My Years with Elvis and The
Colonel” in which he shares many personal memories and
experiences with his two friends.
Chicago-born Darlene Tompkins came from a
“show biz family. A beauty contest victory opened
some Hollywood doors for Tompkins, who began
appearing in commercials, co-starred in Beyond
the Time Barrier (1960) (at age 18) & appeared
in TV series & additional features, including Elvis Presley’s Blue Hawaii
(1961). Marriage & motherhood derailed her screen career, but she
managed to return in the 1970s to work as an extra, a stand-in &
stuntwoman, occasionally stunt-doubling on “Charlie’s Angels” (1976)
for Cheryl Ladd & in other TV series & movies.

In 1964 Elvis suggested Cynthia would be ideal for
the role of Midge Riley in “Kissin’ Cousins”. Days after
receiving a call from her agent, Cynthia was on set costarring with Elvis Presley. She feels honoured to have
had the experience of working with, & getting to know
Elvis, & will treasure those memories forever. Today, Cynthia travels internationally
meeting Elvis’ fans, providing her the opportunity to share her love & adoration
for someone we all love. She looks forward to meeting Elvis’ fans in Collingwood.
