Actor secures temporary restraining order against proposed public auction for singer’s historic home

On 19 May, a public notice was posted in local news outlets stating that Graceland would be auctioned at Shelby County Courthouse in Memphis on 23 May. Situated on 14 acres of land, Graceland was bought by Elvis Presley in 1957 and he lived there until he died at home in 1977. The opulent home has since become a key part of the Presley legend, and operates as a museum that attracts around 600,000 visitors a year.
