Early life

Priscilla Ann Wagner was born on May 24, 1945, at Brooklyn Naval Hospital in New York City.<ref name="Jenkline">Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Her maternal grandfather, Albert Henry Iversen, was originally from Egersund, Norway,<ref name="nrk.no">"Egen plass i bestefars fødeby" (March 14, 2008) NRK.</ref> and later emigrated to the United States, where he married Lorraine Davis, who was of Scots-Irish and English descent. Their only daughter, Anna Lillian Iversen, later known as Ann, was Priscilla’s mother.Template:Sfn<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Priscilla's biological father, James Frederick Wagner, was a U.S. Navy pilot from Cherrytree Township, Pennsylvania.<ref name=Titusville>"Is Elvis' Priscilla Area Woman's Kin?"

In 1948, Ann married U.S. Air Force officer Paul Beaulieu, a native of Québec, Canada. The couple raised Priscilla, along with half-siblings Donald, Michelle, Jeffrey and twins Thomas and Timothy.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Priscilla's surname was legally changed to Beaulieu on April 17, 1950.Template:Sfn

Due to her stepfather’s military career, the family relocated frequently. Priscilla later recalled in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, "We moved around a lot, and I didn’t stay in one school long enough to make close friends. I was quite shy when I was young, and I dreaded lunchtime at school. I often ate alone."<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> In 1956, the family settled in Del Valle, Texas, before Beaulieu was reassigned to Wiesbaden, West Germany.Template:Sfn

Life in West Germany

Upon arriving in West Germany, the Beaulieu family initially stayed at the Helene Hotel. After three months, the cost proved unsustainable, prompting them to search for a rental property.Template:Sfn They eventually moved into a spacious apartment in a "vintage building constructed long before World War I." Shortly after settling in, they discovered that the building also operated as a brothel, but due to limited housing availability, they had little choice but to remain.Template:Sfn

Life with Elvis

West Germany

On September 13, 1959, Priscilla, then 14, met Elvis Presley, 24, at a party held at his rented villa in Bad Nauheim, West Germany, where he was stationed during his military service. She was introduced by Currie Grant, a U.S. Air Force officer. Priscilla met Presley several times after their initial meeting. During one of these early visits, he invited her upstairs to speak privately and shared memories of his mother, Gladys Presley, who had died in August 1958. Before she left, he kissed her goodbye—reportedly her first real kiss. After their fourth date, her father stated that if the relationship was to continue, he wanted to meet Presley in person. Presley agreed and arrived in his Army uniform, accompanied by his father. During the meeting, Priscilla's parents outlined expectations for future visits, including transportation and curfews. Presley responded respectfully and offered reassurances, allowing the relationship to continue under agreed conditions.<ref name=":0">Template:Cite magazine</ref> Thereafter, Priscilla and Presley were frequently together until his departure from West Germany on March 2, 1960.<ref>"Elvis Off for Home and His Date—With Relatives Here—Is Left Behind". The New London Evening Day. March 2, 1960.</ref>

After Elvis left Germany, Priscilla isolated herself for two days, unable to eat or sleep. At school, she was swarmed by reporters asking if he’d called and stating that Nancy Sinatra had met him at the airport.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Convinced their relationship was over, Priscilla feared she'd never see him again. Twenty-one days after Elvis left Germany, Priscilla received a phone call in the early hours of the morning. From then on, their communication became sporadic, with calls arriving unexpectedly after long gaps.<ref name=":0" />

Move to Graceland

Graceland

In February 1962, after months without contact, Elvis called Priscilla and suggested she visit him in Los Angeles. She was unsure her father would agree, but Elvis made repeated calls to reassure her parents. He accepted every condition: waiting until summer break, providing a first-class round-trip ticket, sending a detailed itinerary, ensuring constant chaperoning, and requiring daily letters home. Priscilla marked off each day until the visit. When she arrived, she was met by Joe Esposito and driven to Elvis's home.<ref name=":0" /> Soon after, Elvis invited her to join him on a trip to Las Vegas—breaking the agreed itinerary. To avoid detection, Priscilla prewrote letters and arranged for them to be mailed from Los Angeles while she was away.<ref name=":0" />

During the Las Vegas visit, Priscilla began experimenting with amphetamines and sleeping pills to keep pace with Elvis’s nocturnal lifestyle.Template:Sfn After a second visit at Christmas, her parents agreed to let her relocate to Memphis permanently in mid-March 1963, two months before her eighteenth birthday.Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> As part of the arrangement, Elvis was expected to marry her.Template:Sfn Priscilla enrolled at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral School, an all-girls Catholic institution, and initially lived with Elvis’s father and stepmother.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> She spent increasing time at Graceland with Elvis’s grandmother, Minnie Mae Presley, gradually moving her belongings in until she was living there full-time.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>

Priscilla was eager to accompany Elvis to Hollywood, but he repeatedly told her he was too busy and asked her to remain in Memphis. During that period, she read reports of an affair between Elvis and his Viva Las Vegas co-star Ann-Margret. She confronted him, and he dismissed the stories as publicity-driven rumours, urging her not to trust the press. Over the following years, Elvis had multiple intimate relationships with co-stars, though he denied each of them to Priscilla.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> She was eventually permitted to visit him in Hollywood, but her stays were brief.Template:Sfn

Marriage and pregnancy

Shortly before Christmas 1966, Elvis proposed to Priscilla, reportedly prompted by Colonel Tom Parker's reminder of RCA's "morals clause" in his record contract. In a 1973 interview with Ladies' Home Journal, Priscilla recalled that they were happy to live together, but "at that time, it wasn't nice for people to [just] live together".<ref name="bis">Template:Cite interview</ref> Accounts of Elvis's attitude toward marriage vary: his cook Alberta and friend Marty Lacker described him as reluctant and upset about not having a choice, while others, including Esposito, claimed he was excited to marry Priscilla.<ref name="down313">Template:Cite book</ref>

In her memoir Elvis and Me, Priscilla described Elvis as passionate but insistent that they wait until marriage before having intercourse, stating, "I'm not saying we can't do other things. It's just the actual encounter. I want to save it."<ref>Elvis And Me, p. 130.</ref> Priscilla said in her autobiography that she was a virgin when she married, and she and Elvis did not have sex until their wedding night. She wrote that she was a virgin on their wedding night, though biographer Suzanne Finstad disputed this, suggesting Priscilla had been sexually active earlier, including with Elvis in Germany.<ref>"In her book and in other public forums, Priscilla, perpetuating the myth, would say that her first night of marriage in the upstairs master bedroom of the Palm Springs house was the moment when she lost her virginity – conveniently overlooking her previous sexual relationships with ... Tommy Stewart, Peter von Wechmar, Jamie Lindberg, and possibly Ron Tapp, not to mention Currie's claim that she had confessed to having had intercourse with Elvis during their first few months in Germany."See Finstad, p. 211.</ref>

The couple married on May 1, 1967, at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas. The ceremony, arranged by Parker for publicity, lasted eight minutes and was followed by a press conference and a $10,000 breakfast reception attended by representatives from MGM, RCA, and the William Morris Agency.<ref name="down313" /> The wedding caused tension with several of Elvis's close friends, including Red West, who were excluded from the ceremony. Although Parker bore most of the blame, resentment lingered for years.Template:Sfn

After the reception, Elvis and Priscilla honeymooned briefly in Palm Springs before returning to Memphis on May 4.<ref name="down313" /> They spent three weeks at their private ranch near the Mississippi border, largely alone, though some members of Elvis's inner circle joined them. To mend relationships, the couple hosted a second reception at Graceland on May 29 for those not invited to the wedding.Template:Sfn

Priscilla soon discovered she was pregnant. Concerned that it might disrupt their newfound intimacy,<ref name="down323">Template:Cite book</ref> she considered an abortion, but she and Elvis ultimately decided against it. Their daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, was born on February 1, 1968 — exactly nine months after their wedding.<ref name="down323" />

Separation and divorce

While Elvis was filming Live a Little, Love a Little (1968), Priscilla began private dance lessons and developed a brief romantic relationship with her instructor, referred to as "Mark" in her memoir Elvis and Me. She later expressed regret.Template:Sfn Despite affairs on both sides, the early years of their marriage were reportedly happy. However, following Elvis's 1968 television special, his career resurged, and he spent increasing time touring and performing in Las Vegas, while Priscilla remained at home with their daughter.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

The Presleys in October 1973 after their divorce was finalized

Encouraged by Elvis, Priscilla took up karate to share his interests and occupy her time.Template:Sfn In 1972, she met instructor Mike Stone backstage at one of Elvis's concerts and began an affair.Template:Sfn She later wrote, "I still loved Elvis, greatly, but over the next few months, I knew I would have to make a crucial decision regarding my destiny."Template:Sfn According to her memoir, Elvis later summoned her to his hotel suite and "forcefully made love to me...[saying] 'This is how a real man makes love to his woman'".Template:Sfn In a later interview, Priscilla said she regretted her choice of words, calling it an overstatement.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Priscilla reflected that Elvis's attempt at reconciliation came too late and lacked sensitivity. She cited his earlier comment that he had "never been able to make love to a woman who had a child"Template:Sfn and described the emotional toll of their sexual dysfunction: "I am beginning to doubt my own sexuality, as a woman. My physical and emotional needs were unfulfilled." She concluded, "this was not the gentle, understanding man I grew to love."Template:Sfn Years later, on Loose Women, Priscilla confirmed that she and Elvis did sleep together after Lisa Marie was born.<ref name=youtube>Template:Cite AV media</ref>

The couple separated on February 24, 1972, and filed for legal separation on July 26.Template:Sfn To protect Priscilla and Lisa Marie’s privacy, Elvis filed for divorce on his 38th birthday, January 8, 1973.<ref name="bis" />Template:Sfn The divorce was finalized on October 9, 1973.Template:Sfn

Priscilla and Elvis agreed to share custody of Lisa Marie. She received a $725,000 cash settlement, spousal and child support, 5% of Elvis's new publishing companies, and half the proceeds from the sale of their Beverly Hills home.Template:Sfn Initially, the settlement had been far smaller, but after consulting new lawyers, Priscilla revised her requests, asserting that Elvis could afford more.Template:Sfn<ref name="down373">Template:Cite book</ref> The couple remained close, leaving the courthouse hand-in-hand on the day their divorce was finalized.<ref name="down373" />

Personal life post-1973

Though she has never remarried, Presley has had several romantic relationships since her divorce from Elvis. Immediately afterward, she lived with karate instructor Mike Stone, though the relationship ended by 1975.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Beginning in 1978, Presley had a six-year intermittent live-in relationship with model Michael Edwards, which ended after he allegedly developed inappropriate feelings toward Lisa Marie.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Lisa Marie later alleged that Edwards molested her during his relationship with her mother.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Presley's longest relationship was with Brazilian screenwriter-turned-computer-programmer Marco Antonio Garcia (also known as Marco Garibaldi), with whom she lived for 22 years. They were introduced by a mutual friend in 1984 after Presley read a script Garibaldi had written. Their son, Navarone Garibaldi, was born on March 1, 1987, while Presley was starring in Dallas; her pregnancy was written into the show’s storyline.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The couple separated in 2006.Template:Sfn At the beginning of their relationship, Presley reportedly had Garibaldi sign a promissory agreement stating he would not write a book about her if they broke up.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Through Lisa Marie, Presley has four grandchildren, including actress Riley Keough. Her grandson, Benjamin Keough, died by suicide in July 2020 at the age of 27.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> She became a great-grandmother in 2022 through Keough.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Lisa Marie died on January 12, 2023, at age 54, following cardiac arrest and complications from bariatric surgery.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Shortly after Lisa Marie’s death, Presley filed a lawsuit against Riley Keough over control of Elvis’s family trust. The case ended in a settlement in which Presley received a $1 million payment from Lisa Marie’s $25 million lump-sum fund, an annual stipend of $100,000, and the right to be buried near Elvis at Graceland.<ref name="lawsuitpulledplug">Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> On November 6, 2023, Presley stated during a press conference in Las Vegas that she had never intended to remarry following her divorce from Elvis.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

On August 11, 2025, Presley’s former business partners, Brigette Kruse and Kevin Fialko, filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court alleging fraud, breach of contract, and claiming that Presley “pulled the plug” on Lisa Marie’s life support in order to “regain control” of Elvis’s family trust.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> An amended complaint was filed in September 2025, which included a letter from Presley's granddaughter, Riley Keough. The letter said that Keough had to stop her mother, Lisa Marie Presley, from suing Priscilla just before Lisa Marie's death in January 2023.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Presley and Keough denied the allegations, calling them “deeply hurtful.”<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In 1973, following her separation from her husband, Presley set up a clothing boutique in Los Angeles called Bis & Beau with her friend and stylist Olivia Bis.<ref name="bis" /> In a 1973 interview to promote the opening of the store, Priscilla said, "After the separation, I had to make up my mind about what I wanted to do, and since I had worked with Olivia for such a long time on my own clothes, I decided to try it professionally. We both do the designing for the shop, and have people who sew for us."<ref name="bis" /> Elvis, supportive of Priscilla's business, contacted several friends in public relations to help promote the launch.Template:Sfn The shop was a successful business venture, with celebrity clients including Diana Ross, Carol Burnett, Jill Ireland, Mary Tyler Moore, Victoria Principal, Michelle Phillips, Dyan Cannon, Julie Christie, Suzanne Pleshette, Cher, Liza Minnelli, Lana Turner, Barbra Streisand, and Natalie Wood shopping there regularly.Template:Sfn The shop closed in 1976.<ref name="az17">Worth & Tameruis, Elvis: His Life from A To Z, p. 17</ref>

After Elvis's death in 1977, his father Vernon was one of the executors of his estate, which was held in trust for his daughter Lisa Marie. Vernon named Priscilla to be his successor upon his death. She assumed the role following Vernon's 1979 death.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Graceland itself cost $500,000 a year in upkeep, and expenses had dwindled Lisa Marie's inheritance to only $1 million. Taxes due on the property and other expenses due came to over $500,000.Template:Sfn Faced with having to sell Graceland, Presley examined other public homes and museums. She hired a CEO, Jack Soden, to turn Graceland into a tourist attraction. Graceland was opened to the public on June 7, 1982. Only four weeks after opening Graceland's doors, the estate made back all the money it had invested. Priscilla became the chairperson and president of Elvis Presley Enterprises (EPE), stating that she would remain in the position until Lisa Marie reached 21 years of age. Under Priscilla Presley's guidance, the enterprise's fortunes soared and eventually the trust grew to be worth over $100 million.

In 1988, Presley launched her own fragrance, Moments, and followed this up with a range of best-selling perfumes in the 1990s – Experiences in 1993, Indian Summer in 1996, and Roses and More in 1998.Template:Sfn She has also successfully sold her line of products live on the Home Shopping Network and was coached by veteran HSN host Bob Circosta.

In 2006, Presley flew to Sydney, Australia for the debut of her worldwide line of bed linens called the Priscilla Presley Collection. She partnered with Australian designer Bruno Schiavi for the line.<ref>"Luxury linens: the priscilla presley collection". Kim Knox Beckius, Wedding Style Magazine.</ref> She has helped to produce feature films including Breakfast with Einstein and Finding Graceland.Template:Sfn In September 2000, Presley was elected to the board of directors at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> In 2015 Presley became the executive producer of a 14-track album titled If I Can Dream: Elvis Presley With the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. She said, "If Elvis were here, he would be evolving and taking risks, seemingly like everybody else today".<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Also in that year the U.S. Postmaster General Megan Brennan and Priscilla Presley dedicated an Elvis "forever" stamp, which featured a 1955 black-and-white image shot by photographer William Speer. It was Priscilla's second dedication of a USPS stamp honoring her ex-husband.

On August 16, 2019, it was announced that Presley, in conjunction with John Eddie, as well as Sony Pictures, would create and produce Agent Elvis, a Netflix adult animated fictional series about her former husband working as a spy by night while remaining a musician during the day. The series' first teaser was published on the official Elvis Instagram account on June 15, 2022. The image showed an illustrated Elvis donning a black trench coat. Presley was featured as a cast member in the show, voicing her own animation character.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref><ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>

On September 23, 2025, Presley published the book, "Softly As I Leave You: Life After Elvis." <ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Acting career

Presley had shown an interest in dancing and modelling and had modeled for a local store once. Hal B. Wallis, a Hollywood producer who had financed many of Elvis's earlier films, showed interest in signing Priscilla to a contract. However, during her marriage she never pursued these activities as a career, instead calling acting or filmmaking a hobby. Priscilla was sensitive about Elvis's opinion, because he did not want to let Priscilla have her own career, repeating the then-popular saying, "A woman's place is in the home looking after her man". Priscilla neither pursued fashion modelling nor did she sign any exclusive contracts, instead choosing to comply with her husband's wishes.Template:Sfn

Presley had originally been offered a role as one of the leads on Charlie's Angels. She turned down the role because she disliked the show.Template:Sfn Presley made her television debut as co-host of Those Amazing Animals in 1980.<ref name="az17" />Template:Sfn In 1983, she had her first professional acting role on a season 2 episode of The Fall Guy titled "Manhunter".Template:Sfn She then went on to play in a television film titled Love is Forever, starring alongside Michael Landon.Template:Sfn Although she was treated well by most of the cast and crew, and her acting was praised by several of her co-stars, she found Landon difficult to work with on set. After the television film aired, Presley took on the role of Jenna Wade in the primetime soap opera Dallas. As the third actor to portray Jenna (after Morgan Fairchild and Francine Tacker), she played the role for the longest of the three after the character was expanded and Presley became a series regular. In 1988, after five years, Presley left the show. During her tenure on the series, she was also offered the role of Bond girl Stacey Sutton in A View to a Kill (1985), but she had to decline the role due to scheduling conflicts.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> The role ultimately went to former Charlie's Angels star Tanya Roberts.

In 1988, Presley starred opposite Leslie Nielsen in The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! as Jane Spencer. Critic Roger Ebert praised Presley's performance, saying her "light comic touch" helped balance out the film's more over-the-top humor.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> She would go on to act in the next two movies in the series: The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991) and Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult (1994). All three films performed solidly at the box office. In between, she acted in The Adventures of Ford Fairlane (1990) with Andrew Dice Clay. During the mid-to-late-1990s she made guest appearances on the hit television shows Melrose Place, Touched by an Angel, and Spin City.

Presley made her pantomime debut in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the New Wimbledon Theatre, Wimbledon, London, during Christmas of 2012, starring opposite Warwick Davis.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> She reprised her role of the Wicked Queen at the Manchester Opera House in 2014.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

A biopic focusing on her relationship with Elvis, Priscilla was directed by Sofia Coppola.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Charity work and activism

Since 2003, Presley has been the Ambassador of the Dream Foundation, a Santa Barbara-based wish-granting organization for terminally ill adults and their families.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Priscilla Presley joined the Church of Scientology along with her daughter after Elvis's death.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="roberts">Template:Cite web</ref> In 2006, she helped inaugurate Narconon's Stonehawk Rehabilitation Center in Michigan.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> When Lisa Marie left Scientology by 2016, it was reported that Priscilla had also distanced herself from the church at the same time,<ref name="roberts" /> however, in October 2017 Priscilla Presley's representative denied that she had left the church.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In 2013, Presley spoke out against a 2013 agricultural gag law that would have criminalized unauthorized filming or recording on farms. In a letter to Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam she spoke of her and Elvis's love of horses and expressed concerns that the bill would hinder animal cruelty investigations and reduce protections for horses and other farm animals.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Honors
