Where is Priscilla Presley today? Elvis Presley’s ex-wife just opened up about her controversial marriage, sold her US$13 million Beverly Hills luxury mansion and praised Baz Luhrmann’s new biopic
- Austin Butler stars in the highly anticipated new biopic, which focuses on Elvis’ complicated relationship with manager Colonel Tom Parker, played by Tom Hanks
- The film also explores his controversial relationship with his ex-wife, Priscilla Presley – who met Elvis at 14 amid tabloid scandal and pregnancy rumours
But to tell Elvis’ story, one must illustrate his family life too. The film also touches on the story of Priscilla Presley, Elvis’ ex-wife.
Priscilla famously met the star – who was 10 years her senior – in 1959, when she was just 14. The couple married a year later in 1967 when she was 21 years old, according to a recent interview – an event that would define her for the rest of life. But what else has PP been up to since her highly publicised six-year marriage to The King ended?
She was the daytime Dallas queen
While Priscilla’s marriage to Elvis ended in divorce in 1973, her story didn’t stop there. Instead, she forged her own career as an actress. She caught the public eye in the 80s when she landed the role of Jenna Wade in the CBS television series Dallas. Demonstrating her versatility, Priscilla also flexed her comedic chops in The Naked Gun franchise.
In 2019, she made a cameo in the Hallmark movie Wedding at Graceland.
