Tura Satana
This groupie caught known other than the king, Elvis Preseley’s eye! Yeah so if you want to be technical, many trace the beginnings of the groupie atmosphere to the iconic Tura. Elvis apparently saw her dancing in Chicago when he first became interested. Thus, began a short romance. Allegedly, she refused his marriage proposal but kept the ring. Now, that’s iconic in itself! Perhaps, you recognize her from her acting roles in movies such as Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!(1965) or even the sci-fi horror The Astro-Zombies(1968). Sadly, this Japanese American actress passed away in 2011.
