Riley Keough's 'incredibly emotional' journey to finish Lisa Marie Presley's memoir | 7.30

Elvis's only daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, never wanted to write a memoir. She thought her life wasn't interesting enough.
But then something changed. She asked her eldest daughter, actor Riley Keough, to help tell her story. It ranged from a childhood spent at Graceland to marrying Michael Jackson, from her complicated relationship with mother and Hollywood star Priscilla Presley to addiction and the excruciating heartbreak of losing her son Ben.
"I think that she just felt a desire to connect with people and share her life experiences, because she'd been through so much," Keough told 7.30 in an exclusive interview.
"And I think she kind of thought, what's the point of going through all of these things, like addiction and loss and, you know, very human things, falling in love and having children, if you can't share your story and help other people feel less alone in the world?"
Lisa Marie's death from surgery complications in 2023 meant Keough had to finish writing her mother's memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown, while grieving her loss.
