Years ago I worked for a cleaning company in Killeen, Texas. Her brother was stationed there at Ft. Hood. In the hallway of his home were pictures of Elvis and Priscilla when they were young. He had family pictures all over his home, pretty cool.

She handles him well. Good for her.

[@maureenfurmedge1917]

Rubbish she has ridden the elvis gravy train for years !!and that's why she will never change her surname

[@Rainbow-sb7eo]

So ravishingly happy and joyful after the death of allegedly the love of her life. And she did reveal private things that makes her look good and Elvis bad. During this time she had Lisa handled at a Scientology building. BS!

[@momsaab]

Not a good woman. I hated how she was a doormat. I’m six months older and have never been a doormat.

*BBC ARCHIVE* SHE DIDN'T MOVE TO GRACELAND AT 15 SHE WAS ALMOST 18*

[@LeeannaSloan]

No she wasn't. She was almost 16 when she moved to Graceland. She graduated from high school while at Graceland.

[@HeavenlyPresley-Tonya]

@@LeeannaSloan 17

[@LeeannaSloan]

@@HeavenlyPresley-Tonya Priscilla says in interviews and her autobiography that she was 15 the first time she visited Graceland and sixteen when she moved in.

[@LeeannaSloan]

I could have sworn she was 16. I remembered wrong I suppose because everything I read online says 17 and she moved in 1963. So strange how you have a clear memory of something you read over and over and then find out online that nope, you don't remember that. Maybe I heard it in an Interview with Priscilla where she said she was 16 or maybe I'm just totally wrong or mandella effected myself!!!! Lol.

[@Della624]

@@LeeannaSloan The German and US Papers at the time stated she was 16 years of age. They had to have been told that age because had they done their own research into what age Priscilla actually was at that time, they would have discovered a whole different storrie and by far a far more sleazier scoop than Elvis Presley dating a 16 year old. Also, how is it the press knew exactly where to be to take that infamous photograph of Priscilla waving if they had not been told? I think Priscilla lied to Elvis about her age; In her book she's always going on about how she was desperate to make herself appear older; and I think she then had to lie to the press otherwise Elvis would have known her true age and she most definitely would never have seen him again. If only Elvis had been open and honest at the time about his relatrionship with Priscilla - she would never have got a look in.

[@tinasepulveda1895]

EXACTLY as he asked her to change her last name back to her maiden name but NO Priscilla needed the Presley name to get FAMOUS herself and she made Lisa Marie Presley go to boarding school and join Sciencetology and her granddaughter's. She's his ex-wife, Elvis Presley was forced to marry Priscilla because her parent's had Elvis Presley and she lived with his parent's. She could have left anytime but Priscilla loved the limelight. Lisa Marie Presley asked her not to write the book and movie about her Father but it sure didn't take long for her to write the book and movie about Elvis and she admitted she lied about the book and movie about Elvis Presley and he's not here to defend himself . Priscilla was with her son's father for 20 year's and he gets part of Lisa Marie Presley will and have you heard what he says about Lisa Marie Presley as he no better as he was addicted to drugs himself. If Priscilla was so close to Lisa Marie Presley then why didn't she know when Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Jackson were married for 2 year's and made AMAZING music 🎶 videos. Robert Kardashian was going to marry Priscilla but he took Priscilla to dinner and she had Asparagus and Robert Kardashian hates Asparagus so he dodged a bullet. She contested Lisa Marie Presley will and received a million dollars a year. Priscilla Presley has ICE in her veins.

[@Rock4UNow]

This was the next big tell all book after the Albert Goldman mess. She is sticking to her script "Elvis & Me" yet at times she strays contradicting her book. Can't believe Lisa read it without a ton of questions. The 80s the era of women taking control, psychology is accepted and complaining about a man that provided for you your whole adult life is ok and here it is being camouflaged by her sweet tiny voice and beautiful appearance. She's very captivating but pay attention to what is really happening. In contrast to The example of Ann Margret and Linda Thompson. She's Very defensive like someone who knows when being challenged they are correct in their questions. This man actually read the book and remembered it. I read it 3 times when it came out and thought she sounded like a spoiled brat throughout it.

[@grahammalcolm7130]

Lisa was furious with the director . She understood how this generation would view her father. The movie is a rehash of the TV movie I thought it was about Cilla but we learn nothing new

[@Rock4UNow]

@@grahammalcolm7130 yes you are correct and if could look past the BS fairytale PR stories printed since May 1st 1967 (direct 1976 Elvis Quote "I was Railroaded into it") Their eyes will be opened to cold hard truth about the motives behind this woman. I've been trying for years to tell people and have gotten slammed with hate comments and complaints, it's unfortunate that it took Lisa Marie's death to expose it to those that were blinded.

[@saphireblue3563]

I thought her book sounded loving. It was the things she has said after that in interviews and what she has had put in her movies.
