August 22, 1956 – Elvis begins shooting his first movie, “Love Me Tender,” a Civil War drama that has been renamed from “The Reno Brothers” to capitalize on his new single. Elvis is billed third, but his role, originally offered to Robert Wagner and Jeffrey Hunter, is beefed up to match his new popularity. #ROCkabillyHop #RocHop @ElvisPresley #Elvis #theKing #LoveMeTender
