Priscilla Presley entered the public eye when she dated and married Elvis Presley, whom she met in 1959 and married in 1967. Born in 1945 to a military family, Priscilla moved around the United States before arriving in West Germany, where she met Elvis.
The pair’s only child together, Lisa Marie, was born in 1968. Priscilla recalled seeing her for the first time after her birth in her memoir, “Elvis and Me” – which has been adapted into a movie titled “Priscilla.” “The nurse brought [Lisa Marie] into my room and I cradled her in my arms. She was so tiny, so beautiful,” Priscilla wrote in her book, per Us Weekly. “Elvis came into the room and kissed me, thrilled that we had had a perfectly normal, healthy baby. Then he took us both in his arms and held us.”
Lisa Marie spent her first few years in Graceland with her parents, but Priscilla and Elvis divorced in 1973. Per the BBC, Lisa Marie moved with her mom to Los Angeles, visiting her father in Memphis regularly until his death in 1977. In 1987, Priscilla gave birth to a son, Navarone Garibaldi Garcia, whom she shares with film producer Marco Garibaldi. Per People, Garcia no longer has a relationship with his father, but he and Priscilla have remained close through the years.
