Fame & Fortune

is an intimate account of the relationship of Sonny West with Elvis Presley written by Cindy Friedlander, Sonny West and Michael Schlau and based on the book Elvis: Still Taking Care of Business, written by Sonny West with Marshall Terrill.

Fame & Fortune will be directed by acclaimed writer/director John Scheinfeld who directed, wrote and produced the acclaimed documentaries Who is Harry Nilsson (And Why is Everybody Talkin' About Him)? and The U.S. vs. John Lennon, which premiered at the Venice International Film Festival and the Toronto Film Festival.

Sonny West, an intimate member of the King's entourage known as the Memphis Mafia was a close friend and bodyguard of Elvis for sixteen years. Fired without notice or severance pay after making repeated attempts to stem the flow of prescription drugs to Elvis, he and his cousin Red wrote the first tell all book about the truth behind the Elvis image in 1977 published two weeks prior to Elvis's untimely death.

Polarized by the Elvis fan world as either the savior of Elvis who never had a chance to save the King, or the demon who drove Elvis into his final whirlwind of drug taking in his despair over knowing the tell all book would be released, Sonny's life story sizzles with the heights of drama. From living the roller coaster high life of celebrity success and excess to desperately using all measures to pull the man he loved most out of a spiral of prescription drug abuse, this story pulls out all the stops.

Elvis was a complicated star, deeply wounded by the early loss of his ultra close mother, confused by the implications of losing his twin Jesse Garon in the womb, and searching for spiritual meaning for the incredible life he had been granted. An incredible talent who suffered the embarrassment of acting in a string of banal chick flick musical movies, while the Beatles changed the face of music and aware of his laughable image, Elvis reinvented himself with the "'68 Comeback Special" and a new image with his never topped live shows in Las Vegas.

RLF Victor Productions is also proud to announce co-production on
