How living with Elvis Presley inspired Whitney Houston's classic 'I ... (Smooth Radio)

To this day, The Bodyguard still holds the record for the best-selling film soundtrack ever. And no wonder - the Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner-starring ...

"I knew what it was like to live with the biggest male diva of all time. "I wanted to carve out my own position in life, write my own songs, carve out my own career, have my kids and my family and then write about my life and where he fit into it, which is, of course, the greatest love imaginable." "So I wrote a letter to the director and Kevin [Costner] saying just that 'If you don’t get more music, if you don’t get more performance from Whitney, you do not have a great film.'" "So I took some of the happenings and some of my feelings about having lived with Elvis and wrote about it in The Bodyguard." "Like (the lyrics) 'Stay in my arms if you dare or must I imagine you there" – because it was a challenge to be with someone who was that larger than life, someone who was such a huge rock star" she goes on to say. I had to write this lyric around Whitney Houston who was the female diva in The Bodyguard."

Lisa Marie Presley loves Baz Luhrmann's 'Elvis,' and says she will ... (Goldderby)

Austin Butler plays Elvis Presley in the film, a performance Lisa Marie already has pegged for an Oscar.

The 30-year-old California native “channeled and embodied my father’s heart and soul beautifully,” she wrote. “Elvis” is in theaters June 24. We all expect Baz Luhrmann’s movies to be highly stylized, but early “Elvis” trailers have shown Hanks really laying into ( and exaggerating?) the Colonel’s Dutch accent. “Not much else aside from my other 3 children gets my time and attention anymore.” If the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences does not give the new-to-many Austin Butler the Best Actor award next year for his leading role in “ Elvis,” Lisa Marie Presley will eat her own foot. “Navigating through this hideous grief that absolutely destroyed and shattered my heart and my soul into almost nothing has swallowed me whole,” she wrote.
