HEAD SWITCH

Just when you thought you couldn't be more frightened by a fake Elvis photograph, another pops up. This one is really bad. Someone decided to dream up an age transformation on Elvis, but to keep history accurate it is necessary to show Elvis's new fans and some of his old fans the original photograph from 1969.

An Elvis headshot has been strategically placed on Marlon Brando's body. The original photograph on the right is of Marlon Brando in 1955 at an Awards Ceremony with Katy Jurado. In 1955, Elvis was just starting out touring with the Blue Moon Boys. Therefore the headshot of Elvis is much older than a twenty-year-old Elvis in 1955.

This is another strange head switch. As you can see, Marilyn Monroe's head is awkwardly placed over Debra Paget's head. An easy detection that this was fake is because Marilyn's head is way too big and the shadows are all wrong.

There are some fake photographs where they took the time to at least try and make it look convincing. This is one of those times. The head was taken from a screen shot from the 1957 movie "Loving You."

DAVIDE FORMISANO (middle), is a flue concertists, professor at Musikhochschule in Stuttgart, and principla flutist at the Scala in Milano. This is the REAL photograph. The fake photograph (far right) is a mixture of Elvis's 1956 photo (far left) and Formisano's ear. This was found on bing.com/images. Unfortunately, someone didn't believe that Davide Formisano deserved a photograph of his own regardless of his talent and hard work.

STRANGE COLORS

Needless to say, the original photograph isn't hard to detect. This 1956 photo of Elvis and his mother Gladys was taken in black and white. There have only been a few colorized photographs of the authentic Elvis photographs that were able to fool people, this isn't one of them.

PARENT REPLACEMENT

This fake is weird because it attempts to turn Elvis into a middle-aged man. Though the original on the right of Elvis' parents, Vernon and Gladys Presley, look like middle-aged parents would look. This photograph was taken in Memphis, Tennessee in 1954 by photographer, William Speer.

She was an Umatilla Indian from the Oregon and Washington Territories. The Cherokees were from the Southeastern regions.
