# CNS416 - Elvis Presley "Girl Happy" US Half Dollar Commemorative Coin
Elvis Presley is rightly called the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Not only was he a singing sensation, he was also a movie star! This coin highlights one of hit films Elvis starred in.
Mystic has permanently bonded a vibrant image of Elvis to this uncirculated US Half Dollar. The coin features an original photograph of Presley from his estate’s official archives along with an image of his signature. The coin is officially licensed by Elvis Presley Enterprises.
Girl Happy
Elvis filmed Girl Happy in the summer of 1964. His character, Rusty Wells, is a nightclub singer. He persuades the owner of the nightclub to let him chaperone his daughter Valerie during spring break in Fort Lauderdale. Rusty falls for Deena (played by former Miss America Mary Ann Mobley) before realizing that he’s really in love with Valerie (Shelley Fabares of television’s “Coach”). Other rising stars in the cast include Gary Crosby (son of Bing Crosby) and Dan Haggerty of television’s Grizzly Adams.
Shelly Fabares was one of Elvis’ favorite costars and also appeared in Spinout and Clambake. Shelly is also a talented singer who had a number one hit with “Johnny Angel” in 1962. Ironically, she was bumped out of the top chart position by Elvis with his hit, “Good Luck Charm.”
