Question
Hello,

I have several questions regarding Ginger Alden:

- Were Elvis and Ginger engaged?  I've read conflicting stories.

- If they were, what happened to the engagement ring?  Have pictures of the ring ever been posted on the internet?

- Does Ginger ever do any interviews or public appearances?  

- Did she ever marry?

I would appreciate any information that you can give about Ginger.  It seems that most of his previous girlfriends (Linda Thompson, Sheila Ryan, etc) do interviews.  I never hear much about Ginger.

Thanks!

Hi Donna,

The story goes that they were engaged and were to be Married in December of 1977. There have been many that say that was not going to happen. I guess only Elvis and Ginger know for sure if they were going to be Married or not.

Ginger kept the engagement ring as far as I know and I don't believe I've ever seen any pictures of it but the Diamond was taken from Elvis's TCB ring to make her ring and he had the diamond replaced in his TCB ring.

Ginger rarely does interviews and I don't know if she does public appearances. She did do an interview along with her Sister Rosemary in an issue of "Essential Elvis Magazine" a few years ago.

Ginger did Marry. She has a son and lives in New York. She did a couple of movies in the late 1970's but I don't know what else she has done as far as a career.

Thank you for the questions.

Sincerely,
Cory Cooper
