He also gives her drugs, mostly sleeping pills, and at one point gives her enough that she overdoses and doesn't wake up for two whole days. Therefore, in the event that I go mad and commit some crazy crime, will some fine member of the goodreads community please point out to the proper authorities that I was exposed to the writings and Priscilla Presley at an impressionable age. As Priscilla matured, she began to realize she’d been moulded by Elvis to be his “ideal wife”, denying the true woman within.
Anyways, it seemed that once she had Lisa Marie she realized this lifestyle wasn’t normal for a relationship and after her affair she decided to be her and changed her looks and finally became her own person. I thought Elvis and Priscilla met when she was 14 while he was serving in the army in Germany, and then years later reconnected. only started to read this book because I like sofia coppola and I loved the trailer for Priscilla, but I’m not at all interested in Elvis or anything related to him; I’m also feeling a reading slump coming, so I’m not going to force myself to read something I’m not in the mood to read just because.Online there are questions about the validity of the stories she tells in this book, but it is impossible to ever know the real truth. I posted some pics along with my review on IG if you’re so inclined 😃 - I just love the old pictures. On one hand, I get it - if I started a whirlwind romance with the biggest celebrity in the world when I was 13 or 14, I'm sure I'd be wholeheartedly convinced that our love was a love for the ages.
It was while they were stationed in Germany that one of Elvis’s employees saw Priscilla and invited her to meet with Elvis, who was doing his own tour of duty. Sometimes though that is exactly what we need - a reminder that celebrities are not Gods, they are as complex and troubled as everyone else, if not more so. Unfortunately, his renewed popularity brought a large increase in the number of death threats, requiring a significant increase in personal security. By the time she was 17 she was living at Graceland, staying up all night with Elvis and his entourage and then attending a local Catholic high school the next morning.After the wedding ceremony, Frank Sinatra's private jet flew them to their Palm Springs, California home. The inspiration for the major motion picture Priscilla directed by Sofia Coppola, this New York Times best seller reveals the intimate story of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley, told by the woman who lived it.
Also during this time, Elvis considered hiring a hit man to kill Stone, but ultimately didn't follow through. The television special motivated Elvis and he began recording at the American Sound Studios in Memphis owned by Chips Moman. The daughter of an Air Force captain, Priscilla was living with her family in Wiesbaden, Germany, at the same time that Elvis, the biggest rock star in the world, was stationed in Germany as part of his military deployment. It’s really tragic to read about how early in his life Elvis started taking sleeping and diet pills. When this phase of his life passed, she and Elvis had a bonfire and burned the stacks of magazines and books he had accumulated on the subject.Elvis singled her out from the crowd, and the two spent hours together in his bedroom—chastely, in Priscilla’s telling—before his military service ended a few months later. The ninth grader was invited to a party at Elvis’s house by one of his friends, who persuaded her parents to let her attend by promising she would be chaperoned. Priscilla met Elvis when she was an innocent and naive 14 year old, but did not marry him until she was 21.
