The Milton Berle Show | Los Angeles | June 5, 1956

The guests on Berle's show attended several days of rehearsals in preparation for the live broadcast but Elvis was unable to attend the first day because he was performing somewhere on the East Coast. Debra Paget, was also appearing on the show, and when Elvis arrived she and Irish McCalla sat out front in the audience with all of the dancers to watch as he came in. Irish's immediate impression was that he didn't look any different from the guys back home in Nebraska where she grew up ('I thought he was another 'in-joke' or something'.) When Elvis smiled, however, she saw something boyish and shy in that smile that reminded her of James Dean and she said that it made her want to 'ruffle his hair'. When the music started and Elvis began singing Irish turned to Debra Paget and said, 'It's a good beat, but what's he singing about ... a hound dog?' Paget, obviously a fan, was entranced and replied laughingly, 'Who cares!' Irish said that it was obvious to her even then that Elvis could sing the first page of the dictionary and the girls would still go wild.

Over the next couple of days she got to know him better and learned to love the rhythmic music and his voice as well. She was somewhat astonished and delighted when he told her that he was a big fan of hers because he had seen Sheena on television ('I showed him Tahitian dancing and how it differed from his rock and roll. He was a real nice kid'). Irish also remembered that the dancers were all over him and he loved it.

Found these great quality images of Irish, some of her latter head shots showed a more mature looking Irish and arguably more attractive. Edited; clean/tones/cropping/watermarks

I had a small one that I never posted it - and now loosegoose (I assume he didn't know who this is) has upped the below image in another thread.
