Therefore, there were many times Elvis wasn’t at Graceland for Thanksgiving. The Elvis History Blog reports that in the years 1954 and 1956 he performed in concert on the day of thanks. He also...

Graceland is more than just a museum that pays tribute to Elvis Presley. It is also a family home. While no one currently lives in the Memphis, Tennessee estate, the house holds plenty of happy memories for those who lived and laughed with the King of Rock and Roll for the 20 years he lived there.

Lisa Marie Presley’s Death Made Riley Keough Move Back to Calabasas: ‘I Needed To Be Close to My Sisters’

Elvis Presley’s followers know the rumors of a feud between Priscilla Presley and Lisa Marie Presley’s daughter, Riley Keough. And it all started with an amendment to Lisa Marie’s will.

Elvis Presley‘s cousin Danny Smith, who lived at Graceland with his parents while Priscilla Presley was wed to the king of rock and roll, slams the idea that Priscilla Presley should be buried in the family graveyard. “She was his ex-wife,” Smith declares.

Sofia Coppola's new film "Priscilla" is a biography of Priscilla Presley, based on her own 1985 book "Elvis & Me," which she wrote with Sandra Harmon. Cailee Spaeny plays Priscilla, while Jacob Elordi plays Elvis Presley, the rock star to whom she was married from 1967 to 1973. Infamously, the pair began dating when Priscilla was 14 years old and Elvis was 24. According to /Film's review of "Priscilla," written by Shae Sennett, Coppola is careful to both celebrate their romance while also criticizing Elvis' lascivious behavior. The film seems to look at the high-profile romance between Elvis and Priscilla with extreme ambivalence, incorporating both the exhilaration of dating a handsome rock star at age 14, while acknowledging the unsavory age gap between the two and the demands on Priscilla Presley to maintain a particular public image.

Four months before her death in January, Lisa Marie Presley sent a couple of emails to Sofia Coppola asking her to revise the script for Priscilla, which opens widely on Friday. In one of her messages, she described the screenplay, which tells the story of Lisa Marie’s mom, Priscilla, as “shockingly vengeful and contemptuous,” according to Variety. She reportedly worried that a negative depiction of Elvis would widen the chasm between her and Priscilla and put unneeded pressure on Elvis’ grandchildren after the 2020 death of her son, Benjamin Keough.

The messages were sent four months before Presley suffered fatal cardiac arrest in January.

Presley’s messages called the script “shockingly vengeful and contemptuous,” and contained pleas to Oscar-winning director Coppola to refrain from straining her fragile relationship with her mother – the film’s subject, Priscilla Presley – as well as bringing scrutiny on Elvis’ living grandchildren as they continue to grieve the loss of Lisa Marie Presley’s son, Benjamin Keough, who died in 2020.
