So what , shes there milking it every year . Thats her career . She kept his name after the divorce even though she said she wanted independence and her own life and has been living off his name ever since .

[josephinebeau]

Play nice, Elvis loved her and she is Lisa Marie's mom. The divorce and the heartache it brought Elvis was a long time ago, I am sure he would have forgiven her and we all should too.

I agree with you, she uses Elvis' name to make money for herself and it turns my stomach. She kept the Presley name even though she has no right to it cos she divorced Elvis. The reason she kept it was cos it opens doors to her, keeps her in the limelight and provides her with vast amounts of money.

Oh i dont for a moment blame her for divorcing Elvis , nobody could blame her the way Elvis was with women . I just cant take the professional widow . She is not his widow they were apart long before Elvis died .

Exactly . Couldnt have put it better myself .

[J.P]

what else could she do? i mean she's a business woman and Elvis' widow.... that's how she's introduced.... now the first term is right but the second one isn't (n)

[J.P]

it's getting real interesting from 2:12 :lol:

It's old news, she did what she did, and in a way we even can be thankful because we get to see Graceland. Of course, it's income to her and Lisa, but like josephine said: Elvis loved her in his own way, and I am sure he did till the day he died. I see and understand the points in all discussions about Priscilla. I just don't share those opinions anymore.

And let's not turn Brian's fine thread into another one about what Priscilla did or did not do.

Rene my friend first off its not turned into anything and second off you certainly don't have to share yer opinion about it.... yet you posted :D and 3rd off people are entitled to post their opinions so (y)

You're right Jeremy the second one isn't right but she still parades herself around claming that it is right.

[Sonny]

O, well, I'm caught then ;)

Here I was trying to share my opinion and what do I get? :lmfao:

[J.P]

oh boy that was funny :lmfao:

[spanish eyes]

I see and understand the points in all discussions about Priscilla. I just don't share those opinions anymore.

Rene why don't you share those opinions anymore?

[elvislina]

I am not here to fight. my opinion is only Priscilla is still mother to Lisa-Marie and maybe wanna use the surname to support lisa. Lisa would be totaly alone without any parents if cilla changed it now when elvis died.

[elvislina]

Play nice, Elvis loved her and she is Lisa Marie's mom. The divorce and the heartache it brought Elvis was a long time ago, I am sure he would have forgiven her and we all should too.

Agree with you. forgiveness is important. if not you get a cold heart without any feelings. good wrote here.

I think only women some is still in love in elvis is the ones some maybe cant take take that cilla was his wife. only jealous girls. i think true girls to elvis doesnt being jealous and wrriting nasty words to cilla or attacking her what she does. i have sure begin dislike jealous women. i dont like when they attacking cilla and lisa.

I don't know where Priscilla has claimed that she is Elvis' widow before or during an interview. I recall her being introduced as such decades ago. Journalists get things wrong cnnstantly.

Priscilla has been a good business woman, and I cannot see how anyone could deny that she had good ideas and employed the right people to keep Elvis' legacy going for their small child (at the time). What else could she do? One option, with a small child and debt, was to sell Graceland, she employed the right people, Graceland was retained, and there is a Legacy. Lisa was too small to be interviewed, who else would do it? Priscilla is Lisa's mother, I'd love to know what other options she had?

I'd love some proof, as I hear this statement about Priscilla claiming she is a widow all the time?

This would really get me, women who would have these long diatribes of running down Priscilla on sites and if anyone disagreed with them - there was a Lynch Mob on the site!

However, that said - where is the proof as I said in my earlier post?

I agree, there has been so much jealousy. Imagine being in Priscilla's place where her husband was approached sexually constantly, and she knew that he couldn't resist a one night stand. The cancer of distrust creeps into a relationship and normally with human behaviour, if one plays up a lot, that will never change, that is the person as that person is looking for something and looks for it sexually, unless they get some help.

We know what Elvis did, when someone attacked Priscilla - he smashed the window in on the car.

[Turbo]

By the way, as an aside, I can't get over how good Cilla's surgery has been this time!

I hope that everyone who has had bad work done, goes to her surgeon!


:D

oh yeah knowone can even understand how it was to be cilla and i sure agree she had a hard time. but elvis sure still loved her. i think it was hard for him too when so much women run after him too. i think he somehow still wanna be with cilla that time. but as i see in the movie elvis and me that it was cilla some left elvis and not elvis left cilla. elvis was down many years after she left and i heard it in a video on youtube. i see elvis sure loved cilla when he smashed in the car. i think knowone has the right to talking bad about him. i think even if cilla left he seem still to love herr close. i think all this jealoysy is horrible bad. women shouldnt be jealous. cilla had the right to be jealous because she was elvis wife and had all right to hate the other women some stole his attenttion.

Elvis was down; however, all that said, on a different subject, Cilla was still conniving, and threatened Elvis (can't give my source) to expose things he didn't want exposed, on the other hand, I believe he wanted the family unit. Perhaps feeling that the "double standard" is acceptable in his own mind as was the culture in some circles. As Joe Esposito said, "we were very naughty boys".

Gosh, it was human nature for young girls to be jealous of Cilla at that time, as they had it set in their minds that they'd marry Elvis, not Cilla, they were just immature children and that to me, for children to be jealous that way, is normal, and to be expected of that age group as they didn't have life experience.

i agree. i know cilla wanted to take care of elvis too at mornings but couldnt do it. i know they was outside spending time too. yeah i am sure they being jealous at her when she is the women to become married with elvis. well i think its better to think in a good way like lucky her and dont hate her. its important to feel happpy for elvis and her insteed of being jealous.

No one has any moral obligation to be happy for her, condone what she did,,,or agree she was a saint. Just because she made Elvis marry her does not make her something elite. What?? People actually think the coersing was just others,,,lol,,,sure.
She sought him out,,along with the fame and fortune,,,she was a gold-digger period. I am sure she naively thought she could have it all. He was unfaithful only months after she came to live at Graceland on a permanant basis. She could have left at any time. Is it easy knowing other women are handing him sexual favors on a silver platter--no. But these were her choices. She was always about the notariety, money, fame,,,,if people can't see that,,,I don't know what to say.
As for great business women,,OMG,,,,,Elvis gave her a product,,,him....a monkey could have sold Elvis stuff.

Hi LaurieT,

Elvis wasn't stupid, he had life experience, and he was charmed by Cilla. I know it is awful for family members and extended family members to read what is said about Cilla and not become furious. Yes, she morphed into other people to please him; and yes, he should have had the foresight to see through her, sadly, that happens too much. The women who speak the loudest and sprout their own personality traits are sometimes listened to when they shouldn't be, and many men are sucked in. Hopefully he would have learnt his lesson if still alive, it is the quiet ones who should be listened to, not the ones who run others down and build themselves up, adding lies that come from a little truth, which is the atmosphere when there is a lot of money around; where people care for the fame and fortune and not the person.

Again, to be fair, a lot of the people in Elvis' life were after what they could get and some of the men who lived with them did act how they should if living with men, not living in a family home.

I know how Cilla was as a person; she did make Elvis marry her, she did hold the cards in the end, yes, absolutely disgusting. However, to my knowledge Elvis didn't give her up to 70% of his estate, which as the mother of his child, she was entitled to. Moreover, to be fair, many millionaires have lost their money, at least once, some cannot make the money again, there are many examples. Unless one has been a business person, I cannot see how they can say that making money in business is easy. The money, the Brand, the business still has to be handled, an interest in Elvis still has to be kept alive.

Who else, I would like to ask again, could do it and be bankable at that time? Who else would give interviews to answer the questions that many of the fans wanted to know?

As a note: A divorce is war, and no-one realises that the first time, except those who are conniving - to treat the other person that way is morally wrong, something that shouldn't be done; however, it is rife and encouraged by the lawyers.

Well i dont care about this. i am. if you searh the bad in people your and our life would be much more horrible to live. Priscilla was young that time and being through to much in life herself too. its not easy to not be famous before and become famous later. all your bad sides would show up easier as famous. i think if you become famous all your bad sides would shows up infront on television too. famous people dont have it easy. if elvis hated her then he could cut the marriage off. and Lisa-Marie will always be their child. Well as my friend told me on chat yesterday both elvis and Priscilla didnt get married again after their devorce so Cilla has the right to use his surname because she is still the mother of lisa and lisa still use her surname and lisa could have changed her own to lookwood too but she dont. i thinnk everyone some talk bad about cilla is just jealous people nothing more. knowone is better than cilla and the presleys. Elvis was still sad long time after they left each other. i think after the devorce he missed her lots. as they told in the video it was a sad elvis long time after she left


Elvis wouldnt have wrote this song to cilla if he didnt care about her .

One,,no Elvis left Priscilla nothing for a reason. Where was the "love" then and there. Jealousy is fiction and a lame excuse. How about the men,,who have a not so outstanding opinion of her actions--jealousy?? Please,,,anyone that buys into that young and innocent stuff is unrealistic. Plenty of girls that age are calculating, use their sensuality, and more to get a guy. Ha--I'm sad as well about a couple friendships lost,,,,,,doesn't mean I still love those people or want to be in their company and am not sometimes really mad at them still. In case you don't know,,,,,,he has some not so nice things to say about her as well. And when she wanted to come back after a fight with Stone,,,he said no way. So this silly naive overly romantic view of things comes from her,,,and how many lies does she have to tell till people stop believing her every word. I am a fan of Elvis,,I do not have to like her or Lisa for that matter. She is accountable for her actions and things she did to Elvis,,just like he was for his actions to her. He had no choice but to marry her,,you can read it anywhere. He didn't write that song to her.

From what I recall and was told, it was actually part of the Settlement that Priscilla not use the name, "Presley".

Hi Elvislina,

You have to remember that a lot of the movies of the type you refer to, that Cilla was the one involved in the story being told, it was her slant on the subject, she didn't say what is true; afterall, she wouldn't place herself in a bad light - she didn't say that she held the cards on Elvis, threatening to expose some secrets.

Sadly, their story isn't romantic as Cilla portrays, it was a marriage because of a child, when Elvis shouldn't have ever married, being how he was at that time. He was made to marry Cilla and then the cards fell where they may under the circumstances that he was forced into. Cilla and Elvis didn't see each other as much as Cilla made the situation out to be (can't say my source).

In my view, Elvis would have been down because of the prescription drug cycle he was in, plus, perhaps, the hereditary depression from past sadness and the creativity not being allowed to be expressed; furthermore, his life was not able to be controlled, his way - this would depress anyone! That is the sad and heartbreaking side of the story, no-one could pull him out. There are lessons to be learned that I have always taken note of and applied to my life. It wasn't in vein.

The movie about kurt russel. might it be close? maybe the life was a little romantic in the beginning beetween they. but sure later things turn out in the wrong way.

[elvislina]

Well i even think because we dont have elvis part in this life in the movie its hard for us to really know what he felt. but i think somehow he did loved her. they cant just lying like this. you dont get married if you dont love someone.

I think true elvis fans accept both lisa and cilla and dont talking stupid words about they both. Well if elvis said much words to her then its because of the drugs. alcohol and drugs destroy your brain very fast and quickly. knowone knows elvis real feelings. you dont know if he did missed his wedding ring after that or if he did loved her lots. but i cant stand to see a man hate the women some have his baby then i would feeling horrible for lisa to be in that situation. you all have your opinions . Elvis might have his image but his feelings for his girls wasnt an image or the happiness he had when lisa came and sad feelings.drugs and alcohol destroy the good you and made you to someone you arent at all.

So you have to like the women that was his ex-wife to be a true fan. Give me a break. I can't stand Yuko Ono either. No one want to answer,..what about all the men?? are they jealous of her. As I said, he didn't leave her anything for a reason, and he didn't want her to use his name for profit either.

Laurie I want to answer............ I don't like her either cos she uses Elvis' name for profit. I don't like how she wrote a book and discussed intimate details that she shared with Elvis and lied about him, she showed no consideration for Elvis or for Lisa. IMO Elvis' relationships have nothing to do with being a fan it should all be about his music and his movies. His private life should remain his own.

well said Maria (y) liking Priscilla doesn't make you a fan and and being a fan doesn't mean you automatically have to like Priscilla! there are lotsa fans who like Prissy but not Lisa Marie.... are they not true fans and just jealous people to???? PLUS this site is an ELVIS fansite! does that ring any bell???? well it should!

Well i dont think people most.. but i just think more. its better to treat people good and dont talk so much shit about her. if you hate her keep that inside you instead. Why putting down all your time to hate people? making you more worse. maybe elvis hated her or not. but i dont think knowone has the right to treating people right or bad. she is still the mother to lisa and it would be horrible nasty talking bad about cilla or lisa. but its my opinion. but as many other fans we cant take cilla and lisa haters at all

[debtdbruno]

I'm going to both 'conversations on Elvis' that Lisa and Cilla are attending. Don't know how much talking Lisa will do, I'd like to think she's got 'something' to say about her Dad......

It's a long time ago now.........I don't understand the bitterness towards Cilla.
Sure, she did know what she was getting into before she married him, but like a lot of women, she probably thought she could change the situation once they were a family.....
I dislike that she has (probably) avoided re-marrying to keep the Presley name......but she has every legal right to do so. I still have my ex's name.....
She did, in looking after her Daughter, with help I know,(and some financial incentive) open Graceland.......who know's what would have happened if she hadn't fought for her Daughters' inheritance. I would have done exactly the same in her shoes as a Mum myself.......

Great words totaly agree. when lisa talking then people better listen. she has so much right. she talking for elvis and cilla because she know her parents better and even what her father feel and mother too. i think its just childish have those fights.

its few people i get horrible angry at but dont reply back because i dont wanna spend time talk with 1 person act like 5 years old. but i agree lots.
Lisa is a great person and i will always follow her words. knowone is better than lisa to judge. her father would be proud of her words and would agree with lisa.

[elvislina]

Well my last words is. Even if some of you talk bad about famous people. what if famous people begin talking bad about you or making fool of you when they have all right about this after treat they bad??? then you sure would feel how worthless you are because famous people mean more. your weakness is in hiding from the whole worlds while the famous peoples weakness shows up. so i think its better we keep our mouth closed with what we saying. Well as someone told me. we are like actors and actress in gods eyes and he sure follow how you is treating others. he sure forgive each famous peoples faults and even yours. but he dont like when we talk bad about others. we have to forgive. only god knows whats going on in cilla and he sure can forgive her too

they say people some attack others have no life or isnt so pretty theirself. i meet many lisa haters how even doesnt look pretty and shouldnt say anything about lisa or cilla

Your source is wrong. Priscilla may not be the most liked woman ever in Elvis' life, but she DID love him. Never has she dragged his name, his legacy or her marriage with him through the mud as some could have and would have if they did not love for that person. Like another poster said, she had every right to be jealous. If anyone did anyone wrong in that marriage it was Elvis. His womanizing and sleeping around did their marriage in. Not her.

Don't forget that it was Priscilla who bought Elvis and brand new Rolls Royce for his 39th birthday, a year after their divorce. Would you waste money on someone you no longer were with if you didn't have love for them? Think strongly about it.

Well my last words is. Even if some of you talk bad about famous people. what if famous people begin talking bad about you or making fool of you when they have all right about this after treat they bad??? then you sure would feel how worthless you are because famous people mean more.

Anna howcome famous ppl mean more? you've got that so wrong my friend. ppl are not be classified by their posession.

Rene with all due respect Elvislina (Anna) should not be talking about Jeremy or me the way she has on a public thread.

Rene i was only commenting the post it wasn't personal and if you read the things Elvislina said you'd know she took it to personal level.i'm tired of getting warnings when i state my opinion while other members are allowed to say what they want. that's not fair moderating (n) the rules should be just the same to ALL members and not just for me.....

Listen up....if your gonna talk bull then you gotta stand in it!! Anna is one of the most widely respected TCB members in here and Anna has every right to her opinion as well. The way I see it I thank Anna for defending the Presley legacy against this constant badgering you all continue on with. Thank You Anna(elvislina) for all your bravery and I stand right beside you Anna!!!

Its the easiest thing in the world to dislike someone-or hate someone and its very destructive.
The emotions in hating and disliking someone bring up blood pressure and heart rate, weaken your immune system and that can allow many things to eat at your bodies natural defenses.
Love and laughter are said to be the best medicines-I would add to that....trying to understand someone you have bad feelings for is another because it may keep all the bad things from happening to your system-that the emotion of hate brings out.
Just a thought.

Couldn't be, my friend, my source was a confidant.


As with any relationship, there are ups and downs, even when divorced. There is a lot that isn't public knowledge, which will stay that way.

You also need to re-read my previous points, no argument from me with regard to the womanizing.

Good to read this will stop. A bit of a support for those who need it!

My opinion - Rams needs to be made a Mod, seems like he talks straight.

While the niggling/white anting via cliques is denied, doesn't mean that it isn't jumping from thread to thread with the same "pretending to be innocent" ring leader - then others, particularly one, who attends to do the "dirty work". This is obvious to an outsider.

@ Elvislina - they are double talking to you, trying to be "smart", keep strong, they come back after licking their wounds.

Mods - I think some people here need a sweet lolly! You'll need to give them out!

Warnings to any members would be confidential I am sure, please correct me if I am wrong.

Oh wow is this all about the topic of the thread?:supriced: How hateful threads I see here. I haven't been long and it seems that there are war fields up on every other thread. Shameful thing :( How is this being a polite and friendly site to anyone?:doh:

Back to the topic, IMO Priscilla has done a very good work keeping Graceland going on and on for us fans since 1982. They Priscilla and later Lisa Marie) could have given up on it, but it's still there and she's doing her business part more than better.Who else would have done as good as her?
Using he Presley isn't right though, when she's using it for her own good.
I only admire her way of taking of the business that keeps Elvis' memory more alive. Her personal and private life has never interested in me, but sadly she's brought it up herself quite a bit.
Elvis' private life should stay private as well. Us fans can't know how things really was on any side, cause we didn't live the life they did. Poor boy, spanish eyes and Jeremy, I see where you're coming from with your opinions and I share some parts of them myself.

[josephinebeau]

OMG it is funny to watch how quickly a thread will turn into a slap fight as soon as the name "Priscilla" is mentioned. :blink:
For such a little woman she sure as heck can incite a riot quickly.
I would hope that all Elvis fans would show some class and stop attacking her as well as other Elvis fans who happen to like her, I don't think Elvis would appreciate his fans being so hateful. Elvis always showed alot of class under pressure and we should follow his example in this area.
I love this site and many people have great information and awesome stories, but the "Hate Priscilla" threads are such a bore.(n)

[Turbo]

So you have to like the women that was his ex-wife to be a true fan. Give me a break. I can't stand Yuko Ono either. No one want to answer,..what about all the men?? are they jealous of her. As I said, he didn't leave her anything for a reason, and he didn't want her to use his name for profit either.



Hi LaurieT,

I know you are an "insider" for want of a better word; (and sorry about that "word") however, why the hatrid? Can you say what has happened to make your side of the family so bitter? It was all such a long time ago. Perhaps the other side of the story should be told?

Has more happened from the Cilla camp in the last decade or so?

Apparently you are not aware of a right we have in the USA and that is called " freedom to express your opinion". Its a very wonderful right that is such a gift bestowed upon us by our forefathers. This thing you call " hatred" is not a tolerant gift and is very different than a opinion. This is a forum, my friend so expect an opinion and don't try to instigate it to be otherwise something that any of us members do here.

Rams, thank you and you are welcome. (y)

@ Elvislina - you are welcome (y)

[Turbo]

The name, "Presley" was The Brand. Lisa has the name, she was a baby though, she couldn't be interviewed to keep The Brand alive.

Cilla could - Cilla could be interviewed, Cilla could keep the Presley name alive, she had to use the surname "Presley" to keep the Estate going. She employed good people to advise her to run the Estate. It would have had to have been a well oiled machine, as look at what they did! (I do state that I don't agree with what I heard some of the business practices were though, and how some people were treated).

Now, who else could have kept the name "Presley" and the Elvis Brand alive?

People talk for Elvis and say that he would be upset at the Presley name being used - I strongly disagree. Elvis was an eloquent, well read and well written person. He always improved himself through reading and learning, stretching his mind.

Elvis had a photographic memory, his music, his Brand - he was a genius.

Who else could have stepped forward, to be able to use "Presley the Brand", the name?

No point in emotion, here.

Who else besides Cilla could have done it? No-one has answered this question yet.

[KPM]

I am always interested in what Priscilla has to say, she was the only woman legally married to Elvis Presley.....we may all have our opinions of her but you could read a million books on Elvis and not have the insight nor personal first hand knowledge that she has.
I think she has worked in the last 35 years to try and showcase Elvis the supreme charismatic entertainer and Elvis the human being.
I hope her appearance adds to the legacy of Elvis. She is not perfect, nor was Elvis........and no one else is either. Common ground.

You , KPN and rams are right in so far as it is to sustain the memory of ELVIS!I just have a question. What was the reason for her actions? Love for Elvis or money?:hmm:

Yes, elvia7 posed a great question and I'm feeling my guess could be both in the fact that Priscilla well indeed loved Elvis the man and the $$ would also be essential to the support of the survival of the Presley estate due to our ever loved inflationary time period.

[elvislina]

Agree with you evi. i even did follow one interview with cilla on youtube and she even said when she find out elvis did go so far with his drugs then she did leave this marco and was worried over elvis. she did care when she find out. they even was close friends after a while because of lisa and you see the smile he had wasnt even a lie. they say to the daay he died he loved her and was crossed when he leave cilla and she find that out late by watch his eyes

[elvislina]

Here is the video she talking about the chock seeing elvis so bad in the end

http://youtu.be/12m160L4tAI

[elvia7]

Annie, I listened to many interviews with her that I do not know in which Pris telling the truth. lol
She no longer even remember where Elvis died .
I heard an interview where Pris said. Elvis died in parents' bed. It's probably something wrong with her head ??

[Tommy]

I only know that I want ELVIS ANNIVERSARY TO BE BEAUTIFUL.

[desiree]

I agree with what Elvia said. There are many different stories from Priscilla and it's hard to know what is true by listening to her. I don't doubt her love for Elvis when she was young. Today, I think it's all about money and business.

Thank you elvia7 and elvislina for both your valued and masterfully created opinions!

[Jumpsuit Junkie]

I used to have a very low opinion of Priscilla, but over the years as I have matured and gained life experience as a husband and father. I have realised that it is difficult to be a husband and parent in a relationship that is not in the spotlight. Neither Elvis or Priscilla look particularly grand under close scrutiny, but the life choices they have made were done so in the glaring light of the whole world.

Elvis has been described in numerous first hand books as a philanderer, and Priscilla responded in kind. I suppose we haven't got the full picture of their lives and no biography from Priscilla will give the full view of Elvis' thoughts, so we are left with a skewed view from Priscilla which, we as fans will always to want to pick holes in her testimony to protect Elvis.

If we are agreed that Elvis was a kind and generous individual, (which has been proven time and again) we must also assume that had he survived he would have taken care of Priscilla and LMP and made sure that they never, ever, went without.

Priscilla has made a career being the figurehead of EPE for decades now, if were really open and honest she has done a fair job. Yes we will pick holes and speculate what could have been done better, we will always scrutinise her motives and no we wont always see eye to eye with her but we cannot question her tenacity and fierce protection of her ex husband. She has had her axe to grind with Elvis and in part we as fans have had our part to play in placing Elvis on a pedestal and placing Elvis with almost god like qualities which casts a huge shadow over those around Elvis.
Its almost like we the fans can hear no bad from our hero and therefore those who were around have to shoulder the blame.

Priscilla is ****ed if she does, ****ed if she doesn't, whatever Priscilla does will be viewed from both angles and there is a question to be asked and that is. Why does she continue? Surely she doesn't need the money, her place in the Elvis history is already cast in stone and the ill feeling given by many fans must take it's toll!

I believe that she does love Elvis, yes she wants to put the record straight and illuminate the reality of their lives together with Elvis shown as a human being and move past the Iconic façade, however the reality is many fans will never get passed the Iconic façade, their hero impervious to negative commentary. Elvis' life and times are already written in the history books, little commentary or revelations now can change the narrative.

In short whatever Priscilla can add to events in the Elvis world will draw attention, for me her gravity within the Elvis world is a benefit, the press are drawn to her and that in turn gets column inches in papers and time on T.V. all of which shines a small spot light on Elvis. Once she passes away this torch will be passed to LMP, and that's another story...

I have realised that it is difficult to be a husband and parent in a relationship that is not in the spotlight. Neither Elvis or Priscilla look particularly grand under close scrutiny, but the life choices they have made were done so in the glaring light of the whole world.

Elvis has been described in numerous first hand books as a philanderer, and Priscilla responded in kind. I suppose we haven't got the full picture of their lives and no biography from Priscilla will give the full view of Elvis' thoughts, so we are left with a skewed view from Priscilla which, we as fans will always to want to pick holes in her testimony to protect Elvis.

If we are agreed that Elvis was a kind and generous individual, (which has been proven time and again) we must also assume that had he survived he would have taken care of Priscilla and LMP and made sure that they never, ever, went without.

Priscilla has made a career being the figurehead of EPE for decades now, if were really open and honest she has done a fair job. Yes we will pick holes and speculate what could have been done better, we will always scrutinise her motives and no we wont always see eye to eye with her but we cannot question her tenacity and fierce protection of her ex husband. She has had her axe to grind with Elvis and in part we as fans have had our part to play in placing Elvis on a pedestal and placing Elvis with almost god like qualities which casts a huge shadow over those around Elvis.
Its almost like we the fans can hear no bad from our hero and therefore those who were around have to shoulder the blame.

Priscilla is ****ed if she does, ****ed if she doesn't, whatever Priscilla does will be viewed from both angles and there is a question to be asked and that is. Why does she continue? Surely she doesn't need the money, her place in the Elvis history is already cast in stone and the ill feeling given by many fans must take it's toll!

I believe that she does love Elvis, yes she wants to put the record straight and illuminate the reality of their lives together with Elvis shown as a human being and move past the Iconic façade, however the reality is many fans will never get passed the Iconic façade, their hero impervious to negative commentary. Elvis' life and times are already written in the history books, little commentary or revelations now can change the narrative.

In short whatever Priscilla can add to events in the Elvis world will draw attention, for me her gravity within the Elvis world is a benefit, the press are drawn to her and that in turn gets column inches in papers and time on T.V. all of which shines a small spot light on Elvis. Once she passes away this torch will be passed to LMP, and that's another story...

Very well said my friend, I agree. (y)

If you are getting married with the greatest artist ...
Well, I think that on this planet there are many women that can only envy Pris.
Enduring the pain and humiliation ... They remain with her husband!. Let's not make martyrs of Pris!

agree with you totaly this too. Well it was wrong of cilla to leave elvis when she was married with him and hurt his heart- that was a bad thing and i agree. but i dont hate cilla. but its not right being with someone else like that when elvis loved her. then i understand why he was angry when she did that behind his back and its not a excuse for her to leave him because of other was around.

You're wrong! You know that many couples live in a lie?
Bear to have anything to live with Elvis ...!
You're still young, do not know how many women often endure for the sake of the family, children ..
She did not suffer!

No-one is making a martyr of Priscilla, I am looking at the picture as a whole rather than looking at Elvis as a microcosm. Both Priscilla and Elvis have their share of blame, and as I said in my post neither of them look heroes under close scrutiny.

What are your thoughts on Elvis' infidelity on numerous occasions before Priscilla cheated?
Do we overlook Elvis' infidelity but shine a light on Priscilla's?

If we are making exceptions for Elvis, shouldn't we extend that same courtesy to Priscilla? Saying she new what Elvis was like prior to marrying him isn't good enough, they both made vows when they got married!

What is required is perspective and balance, they are equally to blame for the failure of their marriage!

There is a saying that 'Two wrongs don't make a right', however equally 'What's good for the goose is good for the gander!'

[Diane]

I never felt that Elvis was wrong in seeing other women when Priscilla was first at Graceland. He was not engaged to her at the time but in the end I feel both were wrong after the marriage and both to blame for the failure of their marriage.

You're right Matt.
The collapse of each compound fault lies on both sides.
Such is the theory! I know her, I know the law and psychology!
Thank you with you reminded me about it ..:notworthy
Have a great Week!(y)

No need to appologise, just wanted to be fair to Elvis and Priscilla :blush:

The problem with Priscilla is she tries to hard to put her story forward, this in turn makes her unlikeable.

Hi Diane, this where we disagree a little :blush: I think you will agree that the basis of a strong marriage lies in the foundations. Maybe Priscilla was a little naive, maybe she thought she could change Elvis, however Elvis was a young man and perhaps felt a little trapped by the wily Priscilla or maybe just thought his life would remain unchanged because of his fame?

When you discuss Elvis and Priscilla it does open a whole can of wriggling worms and inconsistencies

Just feel like it seems people dislike cilla and dont being on boths side. but sure it is his exwife. but it is still lisas mother and father and i have my opinions on things too

[KPM]

You , KPN and rams are right in so far as it is to sustain the memory of ELVIS!I just have a question. What was the reason for her actions? Love for Elvis or money?:hmm:

The reason for her actions since Elvis died were most likely at the start... to secure her daughters inheritance-pure and simple.
Her daughters trust was being drained, the court saw it was and action had to be taken-Priscilla did not single handedly save her daughters inheritance....but to deny she had a great deal to do with it is just unrealistic.
After the success of opening Graceland, I think more and more Priscilla and Lisa have worked to bring more respect for Elvis's image as a supreme charismatic entertainer second to none.
Money has always been an issue in the life and career of Elvis-going back to Parker (and even Elvis himself).
Elvis wanted his daughter to be secure and to live in the way that he himself had lived-rich. Elvis had been dirt poor, and anyone who grows up poor-NEVER wants their children to live the dirt poor life. There were no preconditions as to how to keep the estate secure and growing-Elvis gave them carte blanche to do whatever had to be done to keep it solvent....I will not second guess Elvis and his wishes.
Vernon in his will gave Priscilla the right to help run the estate-I'm sure he knew Elvis better than you, I or anyone here and he felt comfortable in doing this.
EPE Lisa and Priscilla have always helped charities , and poor people, as the coffers of the estate has grown..... just as Elvis did-that is a continuation of the giving heart that Elvis had.
To deny that Priscilla must have a love for Elvis that goes beyond money -is just off base.
The estate has been secure for decades now-Lisa knows her mother and wants her involved.....it is Lisas decision and I will also not second guess her.
I hope Priscillas appearance goes well, with little second guessing of every single movement, word or action that can be taken in a wrong way.
Thats only fair to her, to Lisa and to this great 35th celebration of Elvis.
Its like politics-side issues rarely are of real import-but some want to make them into big issues that "take away from the reason all are involved"

Hi Matt, I always felt that Priscilla had no business living there at Graceland at her age. Of course, I blame her parents for that and Elvis was not seeing things through very well then either. Elvis may have promised to marry her in the future but there was nothing binding until they finally married. True, the foundation for a good relationship/marriage starts in dating first but their situation was anything but usual. Priscilla must have been very determined to get him in the end to have put up with his seeing other women. There were red flags all over the place but she ignored them. I think their relationship was a stormy one but she had to have a stronger reason than just love to keep her there. Was it pride or $$$? Maybe a mixture of all those things.

I think the same way, Diane although I do think when you're young you don't see things the same way you do, when you get older and that probably happened to Priscilla, but she must have been thinking about the other women and still she wanted to marry Elvis. If he had been a regular joe would she still wanted to marry him while he's on the run with other women? I seriously doubt that. Elvis Presley she married not a regular joe.

:lol: Reading some posters .. i am in between laughter and tears of how hatred toward someone can be so destructive..

For some reasons many response for many senior members of this forums are ones which has a lot of sense.. Matt, Ken, Sonny, Diane, Tommy.

I still just dont get it why every time Cilla names came up the surface... it was like a war zone.. I used to not like her much, but then i got to see Graceland, got to meet her, well at least listened to what she had to say about Elvis, she said nothing but a wonderful thing of him, respectful and it is amazing how after all this years she could remembered some of the memories as if it was yesterday,

Put aside EPE and money grabbing business ..

We cant bring Elvis back, but hearing some thing new and wonderful about elvis from someone as close as hers are heartwarming.. Thing about Cilla was as she speaks during the Elvis 30th Anniversary Concert, she had her way to make us fans listened to her , as if we were hipnotized by her story :lol: I remembered she thanked all fans who endlessly listening to his music and without us ( fans ) there will be no Elvis.

She popped in the middle of the crowd and walked the stage and shook some hands on the way up there, and there was a man came up to her and told her ...he sent her a present ..a perfume to be exact,.. i dont know if she really remembered but she said she remembered it.. :lol:

Ok every one, stay civil towards each other and keep loving Elvis :D

[Diane]

This is probably the first time we've all been quite civil to each other in regard to discussing Priscilla....we're learning....:lol:

[KPM]

I watched her on the Today show with Lisa and I felt she was very respectful of Elvis and how he continues to be such a worldwide draw.
She and Lisa were both very sincere in their words. IMO

[debtdbruno]

I listened to her yesterday......and I still straddle the fence.......I don't know, there's just something about her demeanour that doesn't always ring true.

I agree and it seems to bother Lisa but I've grown to ignore it and just enjoy hearing what both have to say...as long as Pris doesn't bring up the negative Elvis and she hasn't done that in a long time. Maybe she learned that it isn't accepted. I don't have that feeling about Lisa. I just feel that it's still hard for her to talk about her dad, but, she's doing better.

What a sweet post. When I saw Priscilla at Graceland (vigil) and at the concert this past week I was elated, she is the reason I am an Elvis fan and as cool as some of her experiences have been I would never want to be in her shoes. She is a very human being and I am quite sure there are many things she wish she could change about her life then and now, but we do the best with what we have and try to be gracious enough to let others do the same. It does crack me up though how such a small, soft spoken woman who was never heard from or hardly seen when Elvis was alive can start WWIII among Elvis fans. That kind of behavior is not what he would want, he was a class act and carrying that torch we should try to be gracious to one another as well.

[Diane]

After all these years Priscilla has probably mellowed a little and regrets some of the things she's said in the past. I for one am willing to give benefit of the doubt.
