Touched by Love (originally titled To Elvis, With Love) is a 1980 American film directed by Gus Trikonis, starring Diane Lane and Deborah Raffin.
First released to theaters in April 1980,[2] the screenplay concerns a therapist who tries a novel approach with a girl named Karen who is dealing with cerebral palsy and depression. She encourages the teen-ager to write to her favorite singer, Elvis Presley. Karen eventually receives a reply, and they become pen pals. The interaction leads to an immediate improvement in her daily outlook. The movie was based on the book To Elvis, With Love by the real-life therapist, Lena Canada, in which she presented the correspondence as true.
Interestingly, Raffin was nominated for both a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress — Motion Picture Drama and a Razzie for Worst Actress for her performance. The film also received a second Razzie nomination for Hesper Anderson's screenplay.
