Born within a year of each other and both highly intelligent. Yet Myra was tiny and doll-like, while Cilla was taller and well developed - so what ?!
And, despite the huge stress and damage caused by their sickening abuse-by-media (not suffered by The Presleys), the TRUE victims Myra & Jerry (plus their families including children), were married for nearly 14 years. Far longer than many showbiz or non-showbiz couplings before or since.
Lurve beats all!
Of course appearances don't matter, and it is the maturity and ability to cope of the child/young person that counts, but Jerry Lee Lewis expressed an interest in Myra when she was just eleven years old.
I imagine there would have been a fuss about Priscilla too if they had been open about the nature of their relationship?

But very amusing to see Mary Whitehouse-Thomas tweeting his approval of Elvis (he claims he loved watching Elvis movies on Saturday mornings...I mean sadly for Elvis his movies were totally unwatchable and utter trash),
But it's now official : Mary has tweeted her love of a celebrity who groomed children into becoming wives or bed partners !
Of course, Jerry Lee Lewis was only about twenty-one, but he looked so much older. And it is not surprising his wife looked younger than her age because she still does. It seems the problem in the marriage wasn't the age gap, or her youth, but because Jerry was a bit of an arse.
He is still touring apparently.

Elvis, age 24-25 in Germany ’58-‘60 openly dated Seigrid, 15, until he openly dated Cilla, 14, from Sep ’59. All unmolested by the fair Deutsch media. In Dec ’57 Jerry Lee, 21, wed Myra, 13. The ‘Killer’ then extensively toured the US & OZ unmolested by the fair Yank-Oz media. Until May ’58 the young Mr & Mrs Lewis plus entourage were foully abused by the bent-UK media. Also infecting the US, OZ and other media, destroying a fantastic career, several families, and tens of millions of fans worldwide. Quote pregnant Myra, Jun Rockin ’58: “Where we all come from, a gal can marry at 10 if she can find a man.” (Er, ya mean ‘a Pedo’ don’t cha, Myra?)
Fine coincidence, Rockin ’58-’59, the years that Ruski-Yank Vlad’s ‘Lolita’ was finally US-UK legally published. To much US-UK media mock-outrage and sensational sales. While, since 1955 it had been openly sold in mature France, and mainland modern Europe. Not so incredible now to see why, in the same recent modern era ongoing, the uptight Yanks & Brits also struggled to accept other adult sexual classics. Like, Lady Chatterly’s Lover , Fanny Hill, Tropic Of Cancer, plus on stage-and-screen, Hair, Last Tango In Paris, Men In Lurve, Deep Throat, Caligula, Come Play With Me, Confessions Of A Window Cleaner, Carry On Camping, Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em-Oooh Betty!!!, Vile Pervert The Musical … and so much more. Some, now patronizingly considered passé.
Don’t come back Mary Whitehouse, you are NOT forgiven!
