Priscilla Presley Opened Graceland to the Public When Lisa Marie Was 14 (Flashback) 

Lisa did sell 85%

@@ENOUGH_BEST_SONG I don't think Lisa sold any portion of Graceland. Just Elvis' image, and some of his publishing. That in itself was probably not a good thing to do. At least not 85 percent of it.

@@ENOUGH_BEST_SONG She owned Graceland 100%. It was put in a trust for her daughters.

@@rhymeandreasoning yea she did not make a good move there

@@ENOUGH_BEST_SONG Impresario Robert F.X. Sillerman said Thursday he agreed to buy 85 percent of Presley's estate, including rights to the singer's name and management of his Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tenn., in a deal worth $100 million. The title to Graceland, including most of Presley's personal effects, will remain with Lisa Marie Presley.

drug family

@@michaeljay4213 ok?

@@michaeljay4213 This family is heartbroken, and you think it's good time to throw insults. 😬 We don't know if she died because of drugs. Even if she did, would you say those things to someone you cared about who had addiction issues. So many people die because of drugs. Have some respect!

@@michaeljay4213 what's your family like? Perfect I'm sure.

@@michaeljay4213 all of your RU-vid comments are about Lisa saying things about her substance issues. Who are you to say that? I'll wait...

Do you know her?

@@jcsjcs9777 wish I did

It wasn’t Priscilla‘s idea or who executed it was her partner at the time Marco Garibaldi, Just like with Elvis Priscilla was just along for the ride, taking all the credit

@@Empress1926 Graceland opened to the public in 1982 and Priscilla did not start dating Marco Garibaldi (Garcia) until 1984. In 1982 when Graceland opened, she was dating Mike Edwards who she started dating in 1978.

​@@Empress1926 not her partner. Vernon before he died.

@Noor Noor and all their millions

Are you delusional?

and she always will

Not!!! Look up her background from the very beginning Very sad.

At least she now is great grandmother of a little girl.

She and Lisa had a tumultuous relationship and it was more sadness and resentment that was an ongoing battle throughout their lives. Lisa stated herself she upset and angry saying "it's MY home" but calmed down when she realized what was needed at that time. The resentment from Priscilla was so hard on Lisa that it messed up her confidence and stopped her living her dreams. Just the criticism alone was damaging. Priscilla lived there only 8 years max before she had to leave from Elvis's rejection due to her two affairs not from him not wanting her after having Lisa. But the truth will come out. She brought Lisa up scientology and paid out from Lisa's money not hers to scientology as Lisa did know. She constantly told her she had no talent as a vocalist and she'd never make it. Lived with a man for over 20 yrs and had a son but refused to marry as she'd get no alimony once remarried. She rode off of Elvis's and Lisa's money her entire life. No..this woman is the Presley curse. Rest Easy Lisa Marie ❤ 🕊 💔 🙏🏼

@@floramiles1365 Yeah and hopefully Riley keeps her well away from grandmas scientology.

Lisa spoke many times in interviews that when she’s gone her children will take over Graceland. Lisa would often say her mom is controlling and to take your grieving 9 year old daughter and join a cult/ Scientology and tell them to fix her is heartless! Lisa needed a licensed child psychiatrist not hours of sitting in a room being audited to where your in tears. Former Scientologist said she worked with lisa as a child and it was sad priscilla would drop lisa off at the doors of Scientology and just leave her. Lisa said her mom was treated like a VIP after her dad died. Priscilla has managed to live a lavish lifestyle off the Presley name. Lisa was the only one that was truly loyal to her dad. If only Elvis had lived longer he would have never allowed lisa to join a cult Elvis was very much a Christian. Lisa left Scientology in 2016 rip lisa Marie

@@Gigi1111Layna Well said Gigi. Glad you know what is going on, as so many don't.

hell yea

Pris did NOT save Graceland

@Noor Noor You’re a liar because that wasn’t it.

Tacky, booooring and a disgrace to tremble uncontrolled into someone's private mansion like a 20 million elephant herd! As a fan I would be appalled! Mostly general public out on just another entertainment event. I'm so glad Katherine Jackson spoke the Matriarch Word! I'm sure she acted 1.000% on Michael's wish and not majorly her own! Even thou she is wise beyond monks!

@@BEEyonced You’re Crazy.

Yes I feel bad for them all but my heart aches for Priscilla. She is a wonderful woman.

Ooooooh so that is why she divorced years before he died in a time where divorces were rare and badmouthed! I am not entirely against divorce in case of violence and abuse but it became fashionable to play with love and always opt for the next one up. Betraying another person! After divorce you should be out of Ex life. Totally pathetic crawling back when money opportunity arises!

agreed

@@BEEyonced she left elvis as the marriage had died she still loved him but could not stay with him. priscilla has not as you call it "Crawled back" it was not a money oppertunity it was saving elvis's home it was going to be sold there was NO money , priscilla did the best thing for elvis and his legacy not to mention their daughters interest she was to inherit the home , priscilla was not getting any money this was lisa's NO, priscilla did the right thing if you took your tongue out your Ar!eand thought about it for a while you would see it

@@BEEyonced You nailed her, however you would be surprised how many people don't want to hear the truth about miss Prissy. Thanks for your comment. .

@Bella i reported you.

She is a delight to the eyes. Elvis was also an oil painting but the woman took it to another level.

She was jealous of Lisa because she was the sole heir and treated her horribly after Elvis passed. Read up on her background. Not the caring innocent she appears to be.

​@@the8thchurch461 Not. Not a beautiful person other than her visible beauty.

@@theresesouthworth227 I see. That is unfortunate.

Not..

Boss moves 🙌🏽

And herself

And for her grandchildren! The next generation

You have to remember that, back then 5$ wasn’t what it was today! Inflation!! Back then it was something many couldn’t afford, just like many can’t afford the current price of entering Graceland. The most beautiful thing here is that they found a way to keep the estate on their own terms.

5 USD was still cheap in 80s! It's not you couldn't go to Disneyland for 20 USD! Can't you even listen? Media was surprised by the ticket price and she explained that calculations were done. They are expecting a lot of people to meet financial ends. They wanted to give everyone the chance to afford a visit! Yet she is highly dumb because flying in, needing hotel the ticket is always the peanut about it all even if it was 50 USD from start! Who wanted to go... went, who despised Elvis wouldn't even go for free! There's nothing else to do in Memphis. If would be a different kind of story if this was in L.A. Just another sight-seeing thing. The only ppl benefitting from such a cheap ticket would be the local Memphis residents. And I read here several times local residents never had the urge to go or best belief the 1x visit was enough for life.

Meu sonho ir um dia sou brasileira fã de Elvis

when up at the house you can barely hear the traffic down below , at the back its well peaceful

He was a petty file like the rest of Hollywood is.

Beautiful outside but not in her heart

I was 15 .. just sitting around at the dining table not feeling very good as i used to diet on 2 cups of tea for 4 months.. my brother .. a very big fan of Elvis’s..rushed in & said Elvis has died.. i passed out .. he must’ve thought.. she’s taken it pretty bad.. but the silly diet was to blame.. yeah ..i remember it very well.. now age 61.. i do wise diets

I was 10 years old and at my granny's when they broke into the TV show to announce that he had died. I was sobbing and my granny was comforting me. A couple of days later me, my mom and a friend went to Memphis. We were at the cemetery where he was originally put and we saw the hearse drive by with him in it. That's an experience I'll always remember.

@@absgbkm I used live in Peterborough then.. Cambridgeshire,England..( then after that lived in London for 40 yrs. & now enjoy the quiet & leafy..with farmland & birds all around .. lovely countryside of England.. ) a school girl.. seems like eternity

@001 001 I know what you mean. Lisa dying has brought it all back when Elvis died. I have always wanted to go to London. I live in the U.S. Luckily after living in the city all my life I moved to the country and can enjoy nature more now. Nature, animals, and music are my 3 favorite things.

@@absgbkm I have open space in front of my house.. after my parking space.. there is the road we come & go on .. then fence .. dears are walking behind the fence..( fox with an egg is outside my kitchen window) ..local cats are going into the field behind..( no houses opposite my house)fields & farms are seen from upstairs far as eye can see .. in the distance planes coming in with Luton airport nearby .. old very old park nearby with horses & squirrels in it.. can’t ask for a better life

For almost 80 years old she still is

agreed

And that's why she became a fabulous business women!

@@katjay3125 you are crazy!

Shes in her late 70s, we'll all look different if we're lucky to make it to that age

A very strong woman who has weathered many storms. Tough going.

Divorce? Delusional!

@@BEEyonced Snyone using a name of an overrated singer would be the one who is delusional.

And never shed a tear but ran to court to try to bolster her banh account

​@@aidenfermanagh6207caused must of the storms. Read her background.

Both Priscilla and Lisa Marie were young when decisions were made that have kept Graceland as both a source of income and pride for Elvis's family and a place for nostalgia and reflection for visitors from around the world. They have managed it well and today's sad service was at the same time a testament to their dedication to the legacy.

@@margaretsch.3609 if there has been a post mortem it may take some more days for the full details to be released. Heart attack but this can be the result of other ailments My late cousin died at 44 of heart attack but his liver was shot to pieces by 30 years of alcohol abuse🙏🙏🙏 I wonder what the Smith family are going through🤔🤔

She walked out on him. Had an affair.. Took Lisa Marie. Elvis had visiting rights.. She badmouthed Him on TV & Books. But LOVED His name and money from it.. The death of Lisa is So tragic.. Gone too soon 💔

she was never going to let it be sold

She didn’t do it to be nice. It was a business necessity.

Of cource it was . She knew Elvis's feelings on his home she knew he did not want to lose it also it was their daughters inheritance too . She could have walked away and left it to lose to save it or lose it but she didn't best thing she did to open his home to the public elvis would have backed her all the way if it meant saving his home

@roisindubh02 she did it cos she loves him always has and always will as born out in the fact elvis has been gone now 45yrs and she has been there thru out and he never lost his home it's now the property of Riley harper and finleys some credit must go to priscilla. Its a two edged sword situation there was no money the house was facing sale of cource she did it partly for kindness to elvis but also as she had no choice open it or lose it . She made the right call .she was put in a horrible situation elvis will have been so proud of her. She did wat came naturally looking out for her family and loved ones . People need to stop berating this woman and give credit where credit is due even if they don't agree

@@gassbaggerwoods5955 : Be realistic. She did it for financial reasons. Also, here’s a little tip, don’t write essays for comments. I stopped reading after the first sentence.

She destroyed the Presley name she’s no Angel she took Lisa and raised her in a cult after Elvis died. Priscilla has lived off her ex husband’s name and has managed to live a lavish lifestyle. 3 days after Lisa died she’s at the court house upset about Lisa not leaving her in her will 💰 Priscilla was making 1.3 million a year off Graceland so of course she don’t want Riley to take over.

NOTHING ‼️

agreed

@@Gigi1111Layna without her nothing. You bet 👍

Without Elvis who would care about Graceland ?

And no Lisa Ben or twins.

You realize Elvis was dead already right?

Get over it

It was just hair color & makeup 💄 big deal. The inner beauty is what really matters.

She was the one who turned Elvis into her personal Ken doll. Although she didn’t tell him what to wear…but what to do.

Get help

yes she will always be jealous for priscilla because cilla is smart intelligent woman with class and dignity and i dont care what the others are saying about her . I will always defend Priscilla for the rest of my life and to me she was the love of elvis life and ginger doesnt want to accept that and the fact that elvis never wanted to marry her because he wanted soo badly to reconcile with cilla and lisa marie . For me ginger will alaways be a pathological liar who tries to tell everybody liars and they want to re write history and wrote her book just for money and not to set the record straight . Enough is enough with ginger . My respect and admiration for cilla is huge and nothing and no one will change my mind about her . NOTHING AND NO ONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jealous??? Ginger aged way better than Priscilla go look her up..She didn't inject her face full of botox or any toxic material to change her appearance...

@@katerinakoloventzou6095 ma ti mas les tora,ade.🙄🙄🙄🙄

Just shut up.

was either that or it was sold , linda thompson moans the decor is not wat elvis would have wanted now its neutral colours but priscilla has done the right thing in making the colour scheme neutral again its no longer a home its now a museum so cannot have any personal touch , priscilla knew wat she was doing people need to give her credit

Love Dallas. And she did a great job as Jenna Wade.

That beautiful women allowed Scientology to steal Lisa Marie‘s inheritance & Now even after her death she’s fighting Lisa Marie’s will to exude her children to hand it to Scientology

Weird.Without Priscilla there is no Graceland! No Elvis legacy.

@@gingerlord4983 I have to respectfully disagree with you. Priscilla was merely the face that promoted Graceland after Elvis died. Elvis left her nothing in his will she isn't even mentioned in it . The house went to Lisa Marie with Vernon his mother Minni Mae and the Commercial Bank of Commerce as trustees on the will for Lisa because she was a minor at the time. However, when Vernon became very sick Priscilla approached him and asked to be given trustee- ship over the estate in his place. Thats how Cilla gained control of the estate. She doesn't own it, she never will. The opening up of Graceland to the public was not Cilla's idea. The fact is Cilla was lost she didn't know what to do. It was clever lawyers and business financiers who created "Elvis Presley Enterprises". The big brain behind the multi-million-dollar Empire it became was a man named Jack Soden, a brilliant stockbroker and businessman. It annoys me greatly that Priscilla has allowed the public to believe she was the savvy smart business guru behind the saving and success of Graceland and all the wealth it generated. IT WAS NOT CILLA WHO SAVVED GRACELAND NOR MADE IT WHAT IT BECAME. Furthermore, Elvis's Legacy would have survived without the house being opened up anyway. Elvis didn't need anybody's help for that. The man's originality, his music, his voice, his charisma, not to mention his killer looks and beautiful spirit ensured all that. Elvis has always been an echo that will never die, and the likes of which we shall never see again. He was and remains the biggest and greatest Icon in musical history. I'm sorry my response is rather lengthy. However, I do get fed up with the level of importance people have placed on this woman who was Elvis's Ex, they were only together in marriage for 4 years. She ran off and left Elvis for her karate instructor who she lived with for a good couple of years before Elvis and her were even divorced. Priscilla has told a good deal of untruths and has allowed the public to keep calling her his widow, while at the same time telling the public how much she loved him and still does. Oh Please, nothing is further from the truth.

Yes!!!

She left him. Any women would if your husband refuse to have sex with you
