I do agree that laReynolds was and is superior to the totally shallow Liz any day of the week. But Fisher had a reputation as a notorious womanizer even before he wed Debbie. His escapades when he was still an up-and-comer were grist for the scandal tabs of the day, as I recall. He was supposed to have been quite a stud.
I also agree with edgar that he was a first-rate entertainer, largely -- I believe -- underrated and under-appreciated during the reign of 'King' Elvis.
Eddie lost out because of "Rock and Roll". Eddie didn't do jazz or R & R.
I don't know if Liz is shallow or not. However, in her day she was extremely attractive with dark hair and very dark eyes. Do you think Cleopatra really look as good as Liz?
