Priscilla Presley Opens Up About Rocky Year and New Movie in Interview with The Hollywood Reporter

Priscilla Presley, the iconic businesswoman and actress, has faced a tumultuous year following the tragic death of her daughter, Lisa Marie Presley. The shocking loss of her daughter at the age of 54 to a sudden cardiac arrest has left Priscilla reeling with grief. In the midst of this personal tragedy, Priscilla has also been embroiled in a legal dispute over her late daughter’s estate with her granddaughter, Riley Keough.

Amidst all the turmoil, Priscilla has been working on a movie based on her memoir about her relationship with Elvis Presley. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Priscilla opened up about the legacy left behind by the King of Rock and Roll and the trauma of losing her daughter.

Reflecting on the days leading up to Lisa Marie’s passing, Priscilla shared a poignant memory of a mother-daughter outing that ended abruptly when Lisa Marie complained of stomach pain. Two days later, Priscilla received the devastating news that her daughter had passed away from cardiac arrest.

The legal battle over Lisa Marie’s estate between Priscilla and Riley has been a point of contention, but both parties have reached a settlement, with Riley now serving as the executor. Priscilla emphasized that her relationship with Riley is on good terms and that she is there to support her granddaughter through this difficult time.

Despite the disputes and challenges, Priscilla remains focused on the romanticized version of her relationship with Elvis, emphasizing that she lived in his world and wanted to please him. The upcoming movie, “Priscilla,” directed by Sofia Coppola, will capture the beginnings of this complicated family legacy and is set for release on October 24.

Through all the ups and downs, Priscilla’s resilience and strength shine through as she navigates the complexities of her personal life and legacy.
