ELVIS AND WERTHEIMER. THE CHANGE IN THE SOCIETY AND IN THE CULTURE OF THE XX CENTURY SEEN THROUGH AN OBJECTIVE
In the photo we see Elvis with Ann Fulchino, the publicist for RCA’s Pop Records Division.
Ann greets Elvis, March 17, 1956, with a William Morris agent watching.

They’re at CBS Studio 50 in New York. For performance on The Dorsey Brothers Show.
This was the day that Presley and Wertheimer met.
Ann was the one who made the historic call to the young freelance photographer Alfred Wertheimer to photograph a young star on the meteoric rise: Elvis Presley.
Wertheimer would tell us with his goal, the story of a conservative and well-to-do America, which was being seriously threatened by a twenty-one-year-old boy who would endanger the social and cultural stability of those parents, those priests, those middle-aged people. age they lived comfortably. And Wertheimer would leave those historical images of an America, in the process of change, reflected in its moments.
And he did it through the images of a boy… of his daily life, of his life on stage… he left us his story, his moments, and the most intimate reflections of that boy who in 1956 would undress in body and soul before its objective, and there would be American and world society, turned upside down.
