Priscilla Presley & Elvis Presley Relationship
She said, “It’s just sharing my life; through most of my life, I’ve had people ask me what it was like to live at Graceland. They want to know about my life with Elvis… I enjoy talking about him. The love I had for him, the reason why certain things happen.” Priscilla Presley met Elvis Presley in the Army while stationed in Bad Nauheim, Germany. Priscilla’s stepfather was also stationed in Germany. A man introduced them when he brought Elvis to her house;
she was 14. “Never in my life did I think of meeting Elvis Presley; I knew he was stationed in Germany. Everyone did. He was shipped out when he was at his peak. Musically, he feared that the fans would forget about him.” His fear never happened, and fans never forgot his legacy and music when he was stationed and when he passed. “He was the most popular entertainer and beloved…I was quite nervous when we met. I didn’t have anything to share. I had no life, yet I was very shy, and he saw that. He was so sweet, so kind, and nice. I never thought he would want to see me again, but he kept inviting me,” she said. They were together when she was 16 through 20 and married at 21. She often wondered why a superstar like Elvis Presley would choose her out of any other girl.
At the event, she shared, “He will always be the love of my life. But I left because I had a baby; I couldn’t take the rock n roll and drug lifestyle. I also knew if Elvis was on the road, he was with other women.” After realizing this, she filed for divorce, “When we sat in front of the judge to divorce, we were holding hands. The judge said he felt like I should be doing a wedding. When we left, Elvis told me, ‘I will always love you if you ever need anything, call me,’” she commented. They stayed close until the end. Once the divorce happened, she shared that they were still good friends. They liked each other and enjoyed their company.
Growing Into Her Own
After her time with Elvis, she became her own woman. “I had to live on my own, taste life a little bit. I just jumped in and said okay, I have never experienced this,” she shared. She studied dance, “I never wanted to be a movie star,” she confessed. Yet, she joined the TV series Dallas in season 7. William Morris got that call about auditioning for Dallas. She said, “I never thought I could get it, I got it and here I am.” She was also offered a co-star role in The Naked Gun, from the files of Police Squad. Priscilla stated, “When the opportunity came, I took it. I loved the script, and Leslie Nielsen was great.”She went on to film the two sequels to the movie. “It wasn’t even work, it was fun, it was laughter,” Priscilla said. Besides Priscilla’s outstanding TV and movie presence, she’s also acted on stage as the evil witch in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and the Genie in Aladdin. Priscilla expressed her excitement about continuing her career and exploring new opportunities. “I’ve done it, I’m doing it. This is really what I like to be doing. I have a choice, and I haven’t regretted my choices. I’m just living life like everyone else.” Priscilla Presley commented.
