New York: American film producer Jerry Weintraub has revealed in his new memoir ‘When I Stop Talking, You`ll Know I`m Dead,' that he broke up a fight at Elvis Presley's funeral.
In the book, the former manager of Presley, Frank Sinatra and John Denver discusses his highs and lows in Hollywood.
At Presley`s funeral, his father, Vernon, and his manager, Col. Tom Parker, argued about whether it was appropriate to sell Elvis-themed mementos to mourners in the street.
"I got between them and said something like, `What`s wrong with you guys? The body`s in the next room. We`re about to leave for the funeral. Have some respect,`†a news daily quoted Weintraub as stating.
He added, "What a bizarre moment, the entire world gathered around the house in tears, and in a room in the house, the old man and the Colonel arguing about T-shirts."
