Jenny Maxwell played the snobby high school student on vacation in Hawaii with 2 other girls and a chaperone.

Not many fans know that Jenny Maxwell was murdered. The details of her death are sketchy and confusing. In June 1981 Jenny and her husband, famous attorney Ervin "Tip" Roeder, were shot to death outside their Beverly Hills condo. Their murder has never been solved (as far as we could research). It's an interesting, but odd, coincidence that Tip was also actor Nick Adams' attorney and was involved in trying to solve Nick's death. Nick allegedly committed suicide in 1968, but Tip and others felt he was murdered. As many fans know, Nick Adams was a good friend of Elvis' and often visited him on movie sets and in Memphis.
