Pricilla presley

just watched her on tv her face was so tight she couldnr even smile! it looked like she was wearing a mask!

Ooh harsh BlueBelle, I agree about relatives living off the fame of celebrities. At least Elvis was a star and not some jumped up reality person.

I didn't mean to be harsh it's just as it comes across Elvis has been dead about 40 years and she's still 'using' him or so it seems I would admire her a lot more if she was doing a big concert in the name of a charity

worse things happen

Apparently she is a very good business woman who made a success of Graceland which employs lots of people from the local community and supports charities.

I'm not surprised she had an affair with the gym coach. He must have been a nightmare of a husband.

Coincidence - I listened to a review of American Honey yesterday (a road movie), and one actor is grand daughter of Elvis - Riley Keough. Never heard of her before, but she seems to have been gradually carving out her own career in her name, not like her mother.

Sad to think he never knew her.

Gym coach? I didn't know that. In the book I read it gave the impression that he only married her because he promised her father (an army officer) that he would do so. Daddy didn't want EP mucking about with his young daughter otherwise. Of course EP did not remain true to her and this book implied she was rather a pain to be around anyway. Totally agree that she is earning money from his fame, though. He had everything really except a happy life, so far as one can tell. I'll look up Riley Keogh - I wonder if she is as good looking as her grandfather?

Ooh, yes. She is like her granddaddy. The above should be a link but I may have done it wrong. If it doesn't work just google her name. It's Riley Keough. I spelt it wrong before.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riley_Keough hope this works

Both the links work but if you click on the one I gave, look at the pic on the right. I can definitely see a resemblance to Elvis. Can anyone else? My DH says he can't!

Oh yes thanks it works when I click next page - I CAN see a likeness, about the mouth - he was so good looking in the early days.

I still love this www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLMcBb8-rRg

I find it rather creepy the way she is living off his memory to be honest. It may be an urban myth, but it was reported that when Elvis' death was announced, a PR person said 'good career move'. When he died he was a sad washed up, bloated parody of his talent, singing to audiences in Las Vegas. A very sad tale, but one that many, including his ex wife, seem to have sanitised and are now making a great income from. Shameful to my mind.

Well at least they're keeping his memory alive and his music still popular.

I had read that Elvis left her alone after the baby was born. Not interested. No wonder she looked elsewhere. She was very young indeed when they met too.

Jane10 you can read all versions to point it as a Elvis s fault or her fault they were probably too young and the fame would have been very difficult He was incredible handsome one of the most handsome men I ve seen pics of but so sad he got into the Michael Jackson state of taking pills for this and pills to stop the reaction of those pills and pills to sleep and pills to wake up and lost all his looks and body, so terrible sad I still feel that as they had parted and were divorced she is not being true to herself to be making pots of money out of him
he only had the one daughter Lisa Marie and she has four children the grandson Benjamin Keough looks very like his grandad

I can only go on the many documentaries we have had the opportunity to view but I like her.

She could have made her fortune 'bad mouthing', 'dish the dirt' 'be personal' about her husband but she has never done so . She always appears to portray a loving relationship that like millions of others changed over time but she has never said a bad word against Elvis Presley, quite the opposite as far as I have ever seen. I have certainly heard her speak of the break up not in a 'simpering ' way so perhaps we can only say what we see as individuals.

As for making a living off the back of Elvis she and Lisa have enough money , is it greed as the OP suggests, maybe but I think both Pricilla and their daughter Lisa have maintained a genuine love for Elvis and if they keep the memories of one of the worlds best known entertainers alive then it will only work if the public want to do the same. They obviously do as his fans are numerous.

Elvis was two things....a man and a business. All she's done is kept the business intact and increased the profits. Lot's of people want to visit Graceland etc. and the business she runs makes it possible. She also protects his name and image as much as possible. If she and the family didn't make money out of the business then someone else would. I'm sure Elvis the man would rather the money stayed in the family rather than to invisible corporate shareholders who would do anything to maximise profits.

I agree.

Priscilla Presley has appeared in quite a few movies, and I thought she was very funny in the Naked Gun series with Leslie Nielsen.

She was aso very pretty in those days, before she started on the plastic surgery!

So I don't think it's fair to say she's been living on Elvis's fame, although I must admit during the last few years she does seem to have become very involved with promotin his musical legacy.

I wouldn't even think that if she was his widow

You mean she wasn't?

No they were divorced

He never remarried. It doesn't matter really. I don't understand the OP's outrage.
