About this deal

Ultimately, though, Priscilla told the outlet she wanted the film to showcase “that love was there, that the care was there.” Cailee Spaeny met with her to prepare for the lead role, asking for any advice that would help the actor give an authentic performance. “Just be sensitive to him,” Priscilla said, referencing co-star Jacob Elordi. 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. [18] She has also successfully sold her line of products live on the Home Shopping Network and was coached by veteran HSN host Bob Circosta. Priscilla tried her best to feign interest in Elvis’ new hobby, but admits that it became difficult once he began withholding sex. He believed giving into his sensual desires was antithetical to his spiritual growth. She recalls nights in which they would take sleeping pills and he would read her metaphysical texts in bed, which didn’t exactly put her in the mood. This nightly routine led Priscilla to blow up at her then fiancé, begging him to spend more time being intimate with her than reading his boring books. What to Watch has seen Sofia Coppola's latest movie and officially weighed in with our own Priscilla review. Find out why we call the movie and engrossing, if at times uneven, portrayal of Priscilla Presley.

Priscilla Presley Elected to MGM Board". Articles.latimes.com. September 12, 2000 . Retrieved March 22, 2014. His desire for her was not only one heavily rooted in pedophilia, but also what appears to be a fantasy of incest in calling her “his little girl” and pushing for her to make physical changes that would result in a physical resemblance between the two of them. He didn’t just groom this little girl to be his ideal partner, but a daughter he could share a bed with and it’s nauseating.

Success!

It would be 7 years before the pair wed in 1967, finally consummating their love. The built up passion led to their only child, Lisa Marie, born one year later. But their relationship wasn’t the stuff of fairy tales. As Priscilla matured, she began to realize she’d been moulded by Elvis to be his “ideal wife”, denying the true woman within. “He taught me everything, how to dress, how to walk, how to apply makeup and wear my hair, how to behave, how to return love – his way. I was Elvis’ doll, his own living doll, to be fashioned as he pleased.” It's also disturbing to know that while Elvis was very controlling and abusive with Priscilla and those who worked for him, he was under the abusive control of Colonel Parker. It's a vicious cycle of abuse. All the while, Elvis continued his relationship with his previous girlfriend, Anita Wood (Priscilla wrote that she discovered Anita had been at Graceland and staying in Elvis' room the day before her first visit). On September 13, 1959, 14-year old Priscilla Beaulieu met 24-year old Elvis Presley at a party at his home in Bad Nauheim, Germany, which he had rented during his military service. [13] Her presence is said to have made Elvis seem "awkward" and "embarrassed"; however, he composed himself by the end of the evening. [14] Priscilla's late return home on the night of that first meeting upset her parents, who insisted that she never see Elvis again. However, his eagerness for another rendezvous and his promise to never bring her home late again [15] led Priscilla's parents to relent. Thereafter, Priscilla and Elvis were frequently together until his departure from West Germany in March 1960. After Elvis left, Priscilla was inundated with requests for interviews from media outlets around the world. Priscilla received fan mail from Elvis fans, some positive and some negative, as well as mail from "lonesome G.I.s.". With gossip-magazine rumors swirling about his relationship with Nancy Sinatra, Priscilla became convinced that her romance with Elvis was over, and she was concerned she would never see him again.

Richard Gere was no gentleman, says new tattletale book". Books.google.com. September 20, 1988. p.13.It was a different time,” Priscilla told The Hollywood Reporter. “I lived in his world. I wanted to please him. I wanted to fit in. I wanted to have fun with him. I wanted to see what it was that he liked.”

In her book, Elvis and Me, Priscilla described Elvis as a very passionate man who was not overtly sexual towards her. According to her account, [28] the singer told her that they had to wait until they were married, before having intercourse. He said, "I'm not saying we can't do other things. It's just the actual encounter. I want to save it." 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. However, this claim is questioned by biographer Suzanne Finstad. [29] Priscilla also writes of other times she became suspicious of Elvis' infidelity. One such time was when Elvis released " (Marie's the Name) His Latest Flame,” Priscilla wondered, at that time, if Elvis was dating a girl named Donna Marie.
