"Elvis convinced me that this was no town for a young girl to be in, by herself, and that it would not lead to bigger and better things, that if I really wanted to make it in show business that I needed to get the Hell out of Vegas. So, I always say to people, I started out as the youngest showgirl in Vegas and, if it wasn’t for Elvis, I would now be the oldest showgirl. My God, can you imagine? Aye-yai-yai!”
There was even one rumor between her and the famous singer Jimmy Page. When Jimmy was in the band YardBirds, he met Cassandra and became very insistent to sleep with her. But when she did not agree with Jimmy, he ripped off her clothes and Cassandra ran out of the room with her skirt pulled to her waist and torn sweater.
