The beautiful pair of legs appearing in one of the scenes of Presley and Judy Tyler's meeting belong to actress and model Gloria Paul.
During the filming of "Jailhouse Rock", Elvis inhaled a porcelain crown-cap. Ironically, in this film he played a rock and roll singer who temporarily loses his voice.
In 2004, the Library of Congress added the film to the National Film Registry as a film of "cultural, historical, or aesthetic significance".
Actress Judy Tyler, who played one of the leading roles, died in a car accident just a few weeks after filming ended. Presley was so shaken by Judy’s death that he refused to ever watch the finished film.
