priscilla treading the boards

[graceland123]

i hear that priscilla maybe coming over to lon don to appear in the west end in a comedy
she says it is a great role and a challenge for an ac tress
she is certainly a good actress as we have all seen :D

[Unchained Melody]

Oh thats great news, I don't really keep up with her though lol.

[Albert]

Aren't her two only big roles the one in Dallas and The Naked Gun?

I don't see her as an actress... I think that without her last name she wouldn't even have played in a single movie.

Well said Albert!!!(y)

[Dovey]

She has been "acting" like Elvis' wife for most of the last 30 years!!!:D ;) :'( :lmfao: :lmfao: :lmfao: Dovey

[Donut]

Oh yes! I like that scene in Naked Gun when she falls down the stairs. ;)

[snowbird]

Priscilla, a great actress ??
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
What a joke.
She can be grateful for the PRESLEY name, otherwise ...

[ForeverTheKing]

Don't undervalue her talent in acting..she always acts when she speaks about Elvis!!!She's great with the role of the sad widow!!She could win a oscar!!!:lmfao:

[4THEHEART]

she is the greatest actress ever..

[graceland123]

she only took the dallas and naked gun so that she could say she had done something in her life when in reality she only got the role s because of elvis

[Lion]

Well, you think whatever you want of her talent as an actress, - I don?t think she is that great either, - but she has appeared in lots of other things apart from Dallas and Naked gun films as well: Spin City, Melrose Place, Tales from the crypt, Breakfast with Einstein, Lover forever (with Michael Landon), Ford Fairline etc.

[Burning_Love]

She's not a good actress !! A lot of agencies have said how bad she is at acting, but they kept her because she was beautiful. They only like her for her last name too. It always looks good in a show. :king:

[srj1967]

To paraphrase The Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons:

WORST. ACTRESS. EVER. (n)

[elvislady]

I have not really seen much of cillas acting but i like her as a person.

[Dudcowboy_1]

Priscilla was in movies? LOL Just joking ya'll

Love to all,

[prinsess]

Elvis would have not liked it, the way you all talk about Priscilla (and Lisa Marie)

[Tony Trout]

Elvis would have not liked it, the way you all talk about Priscilla (and Lisa Marie)


The sad fact is that for almost thirty years Priscilla has made herself out to be "The Widow Of The King Of Rock And Roll"....when she most definitely is not his widow because she wasn't married to him at the time of his death. She changed Graceland from how Elvis had it when he lived there to how it was when she was there (that is one thing I detest about her--in my opinion she had no right to do that).

In short, she's made herself out to be something she's not. :angry: (n) :cursing:


I have no problem whatsoever with Lisa Marie....only Priscilla. I actually think Lisa is very sexy....*voice trails off before I get myself in trouble*....*hee hee*

[Diane]

I totally agree with your entire post Tony(y) ....Diane

[ajr]

I have to agree too, Tony.

Anything else I think about Priscilla.....I'll just leave unsaid. ;)

[Jumpsuit Junkie]

Don't undervalue her talent in acting..she always acts when she speaks about Elvis!!!She's great with the role of the sad widow!!She could win a oscar!!!:lmfao:

Thank you. You said it to perfection. Priscilla makes herself something she isn't - a widow. And she talks about herself, it's all me me me me. Don't get me wrong, she is beautiful and she is the only women who made Elvis say' I do' but hey he didn't even want to marry her. He belonged to the women of the world not just one though Priscilla makes herself seem that she was the on for Elvis.

Great answer thanks :king:

[TCBnAflash]

It's all about her lastname that doesn't even belong to her anymore.
She probably could've made it in porn flims but a funny or serious actress?
I don't think so.

[vinceeverrette]

Elvis would knock all of your teeth out if he heard you talking about Priscilla that way. Yes Elvis made her what she is, but it wasn't all roses I'm sure. He had flaws just like the rest of us and he would be the first to tell you that. Heaven forbid Priscilla do something other than be the widow of Elvis like act. Shame on you all! Don't critisize what you don't understand.

[srj1967]

She probably could've made it in porn flims but a funny or serious actress?
I don't think so.

There's already a Tegan Presley in porn (or so I've heard!) so she'd have had to change her last name ...

But I have to say I did enjoy her in the first Naked Gun flick, that was pretty funny. But they didn't need any sequels.

PS: I've often wondered whether she thinks O.J.Simpson is guilty or not, having worked with the murderer ... sorry ... I mean GUY! :P

[prinsess]

Who of you have ever been to Graceland??

If Priscilla didn't open it you would never had a change to go over there!

She keept Elvis spirit alive

Ofcourse she is not his widow but his ex-wife, but she did a great job!
Elvis would have been proud of her and Lisa. She never said herself that she was his widow,
I think the media make's her looking bad, she never intended to harm any one, especially not Elvis and his legacy!


And do you really think that a guy like Elvis would marry some one because he has to??
Elvis was very aware of what he was doing when he married her! And gave her a child! His only child!

[MyElvis]

Priscilla is not and never will be an actress...She is a fake and a liar and if it wasn't for the Presley name she'd never even exsist to us fans.
She used and abused Elvis and his name, why do you think she has never married since Elvis, says it all............

It is really sad that someone who committed adultery, broke his heart, shattered his exsistance right up until 16th August 1977 still have the prevlidge 30 years later to walk with the Presley name and still cash in $$$$$$$$$
Priscilla is not worthy of the Presley name, she is a disgrace and an embarrassment, shame on her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anthing she has done for his legacy was mainly to ensure a profitable future for herself...

[jak]

He belonged to the women of the world not just one though Priscilla makes herself seem that she was the on for Elvis

The above statement is an indication of the jealousy that skews so many people's perception of Priscilla.There is no way she can get a fair deal.It just shows how so many fans have that posessive attitude towards Elvis.This is why his getting married was a touchy subject back then.Fears it would alienate some fans which it did.Elvis could have married Mother Thereasa and many fans would despise her also.

[Donut]

The city-county of Memphis wanted to buy Graceland and make it a museum long before Priscilla made it, so it would be open anyway. Most people forget that "little" detail.

I made that statemaent. Look i'm 16 and i DONT feel possessive over Elvis, or anything !! I have a boyfriend and i would be possessive over Elvis ?? No !!
Elvis did belong to the women of the world, many people have said it, many of the Memphis Mafia have and it's true. Elvis could never stay with one women.
Sorry but i had to say that i found it unfair what you said sorry :king:

[Minister]

I agree with Tony Trout to a certain extent (the fact Cilla had changed most of Graceland to how it was when she remained his wife, and that she was NOT his wife when he passed away).

However, Elvis was at his best (happy) during the early years of his marriage. Hence, Graceland's rearrangement by Cilla can be seen as the reminicence of that era - the way it had been when they were happy together - with Lisa Marie. It is here where I also agree with people like Jak, who has logically pointed out that the possessiveness (demands by people he felt grateful towards) took him away from us.

Honestly, there would be countless allegations of illegimite children from women all over the world, but no Lisa Marie without Priscilla. I have only respect for Cilla for accepting the fact that her man was committing open adultery, if you like - yet she kept silent and punished herself as far as she could. That impetus alone was sufficient for Cilla to get back and make him understand what he (Elvis) was doing to her. Obviously, it had a toll on him more than Cilla may have predicted.

There was no way Elvis would have married Ann-Margret, Linda Thompson, or Ginger (it got as far as engagement - and that's how far it could have gotten with her - the Memphis Mafia admit to this).

[john carpenter]

I agree totally. Priscilla can't act her way out of a paper bag. It made me cringe to see her attempt to act on Dallas (Jenna Wade) Coincidence.. Elvis' name in "Charro" was Jess Wade. Back to topic.. Priscilla did one good acting job though..acting like she's his wife since they divorced in the early 70's.

[Unique Dog]

Like her or not, Priscilla was his only wife and the mother of his only child. He loved her enough to marry her and start a family with her. He wasn`t "forced" to marry her. Come on, do you honestly believe that Elvis would let anyone dictate how he should live his private life?? He loved her til the day he died. No one can change the past. Priscilla didn`t kill Elvis. Her leaving him did not kill him. The bottom line is, no one can be blamed for his downfall but Elvis himself.

If Elvis had married someone else, it wouldn`t make a difference. People would still find something about the woman to pick apart.

[john carpenter]

Let's just let the CEO Jack Soden handle things at Graceland.Why Priscilla? Lisa is his blood. She deserves to carry on the legacy. If Lisa ran for President i'd vote for her. I wouldn't vote Priscilla as dog catcher.

I'm not a fan of the grieving `widow' who wasn't a widow but the Naked Gun movies were hilarious, although not necessarily because of her contribution.

I never was a Priscilla fan myself . But, after seeing so much animosity directed toward her ; I'd have to agree with this . IMO, it wouldn't matter who the woman was; she would never be able to "do it right." :blink:
So, I'll just thank her for keeping Graceland. The rest doesn't bother me in the least. :P

Take heart ,young lady. It wouldn't matter who it was that I can see.
I only know Lisa couldn't have done it at 9 or 11 years ; there was no one else except Priscilla. Just glad she saved Graceland. If she made Lisa, her grandchildren and herself comfortable for life --more power to her .
Just something everyone needs to deal with . ;)

[KPM]

Aren't her two only big roles the one in Dallas and The Naked Gun?

An actress ?
I didn't know she was an actress.

I think that's the bone of contention with most people......she is NOT the widow of Elvis Presley. ;);)

Interesting.....Priscilla does tell that she is the one who first committed adultery.:supriced::supriced:

Some people will never give Priscilla credit for anything she's done. I hope we're not too confused .:P

I didn't watch her Naked Gun movies {just not my kind of movies} , but I did see her in Dallas and thought she did just fine.

[john carpenter]

I'm a Dallas fan. And her "acting was terrible. Whenever she grieved over Bobbys' "death" it make me think i wonder if she researched the grieving part when Elvis died? She did a good acting job on Larry King. When Larry asked her "you still love him" she said (hesitantly) "yes what's not to love"? Here is what she loves $$$$$$$$$$$

[cameron]

Oh well, J.C.
Everyone has an opinion. We're all allowed to have them...so far, I think. ;)

[TotallyInsane]

I'm not a Cilla fan, but I have eased up on a lot of things the older I get. I've tried to compare my simple life like this. How many of you would be happy if your husband/wife went out partying every night after work with their buddies? They come home at 1 or 2 in the morning, kids are bed and dinner is still waiting for him? Would you be happy in that situation?
Take it to another level...how many of you would be happy with your husband/wife going to Las Vegas or Palm Springs for days on end and you not being invited. You're left at home with the kids to wonder what they're doing and why he doesn't want you there? Would you be happy? I tend to think that famous or not famous you wouldn't like that lifestyle either.

[babydove]

I would if it was Elvis Presley.
Priscilla even admitted on Elvis By The Beaulieus that she liked her life when Elvis was away.

Gail....remember who you are talking to here!! :lol: You and I both know that we would have taken him under any condition. :lol: Don't forget we were the 2 good girls who didn't want Elvis to think bad of us!! :lmfao:

No, really, I do see your point. The difference is we would have tolerated it just a wee bit longer from him than we would from your average bear! :D:D

Rosanne -
sssshhhhhh - be careful what you say dear!!! We were pretty whacked out teenagers - had some REALLY big dreams - LMAO!!! Lord, remember those dreams we used to talk about - OMG!!!!

I know I would have tolerated it longer with him than ANY OTHER MAN but I do believe after a while I would have become unsettled with it all!!! Now, I never said I would leave - lol - but stranger things have happened!!!

[MissyM]

Ok, this poor Cilla thing is about to make me yak! She knew what she was getting into!!!!!!!!! It's never a good thing to marry thinking you can change someone!!!! She got what she wanted but it was never enough.
She always wanted more, more more. She got it. Now I'm supposed to have pity for her. I don't think so. Do you know how many women marry rich, powerful men purposely and just deal with it. These men believe it or not love their wives and families. I know it sounds wacky but it's true. I got to know several like this. It is widely accepted that the husbands fool around. Widely accepted that because of business they aren't home a lot. Some women are willing to make the trade off for a certain lifestyle. And boo hoo- marriage is not a peice of cake anyway. Lots of marriages survive ruff times. If it isn't other women it's gambling and so on. She found out she couldn't change him and then had an affair, she did it first. Lisa was only 4 months old. Wow that's really giving it a shot. The minute she did that the marriage was over. She killed it and I get tired of Elvis getting the blame. He should have never married her either. But you see, at least he married her for what she was right then and there, not what she was going to change into. So he was the one who was duped. Not the other way around. She knew what she was getting.

[TotallyInsane]

Well, alrighty then!

Whenever we get involved in someone elses personal life ;there's always emotional fall out.
I think they were both wrong and I wouldn't want to have lived with either . But, that's many years ago and it's none of my business.

That's one reason I moved from my small town years ago.
Gossip . I always hated that .

Great post !! (y) and everything you`ve said is true. This woman is so **** evil but only very few Elvis fans are seeing it. I never understood why she is adored by the fans.......fans wich she sees as a bunch of *****s as she perfectly said in her own documentary "Elvis by the Beauliue`s" She said: "Suddenly i knew why Elvis loved his fans so much, because they said all the things he wanted to hear" This not only a scandalous remark to all Elvis fans, but also to the man himself.....She puts him down like she always does in her stupid book en scandalous movie.

[cameron]

I see both kind of fans. Some love her; some hate her.
I don't do either. I accept her part in the Elvis story.
As has been pointed out--IF she had not opened Graceland ; no one would be able to see it.
In another thread ; it's documented.
Memphis nor the state wanted Graceland. If she hadn't done something it would have been sold for taxes, etc.

I disliked her for "other reasons". But, Ive been forced to take up for her on some things as I looked at the "cold hard facts." :P

Like I said I've never been a big fan of Priscilla's but 30 years later...sometimes you have to look at all the cold hard facts. Frankly, I think Elvis would be amazed at what she had to start with ($$) and where it's at today!! His response would simply be "my boy my boy".

Sometimes we're forced to look at things without the emotional side taking over . Maybe, it does take the passing of years and facing things we don't want to see when we're younger .

I think you're right as to what Elvis would say.
He'd be amazed at what she's accomplished in his legacy to his daughter . He wanted Lisa to have everything.

He did not want her profiting from his name so there is no way in my opinion that he would be amazed at what shes accomplished. As for what shes accomplished regarding Lisa I dont think he would be very proud of that either.

Pris doesn't tread the boards...she hardly visits her own...

And she does not love the fans, never has, never will.

Like I said I've never been a big fan of Priscilla's but 30 years later...sometimes you have to look at all the cold hard facts. Frankly, I think Elvis would be amazed at what she had to start with ($$) and where it's at today!! His response would simply be "my boy my boy".

well said and l agree(y)

The truth is :
None of them would be anything if not for Elvis.
That includes Vernon and Lisa or anyone else that claimed to know or be related to him.

Priscilla has done her job as far as keeping Elvis' legacy for Lisa.
I could care less whether she likes the fans or not.
Some fans are not very likeable .

[Suzan]

Elvis legacy would be around with or without Pris...he did that on his own w/his sweat, blood and tears and his incredible talent.

No they aren't but then again without the fans she would have nothing....and those fans are there because of her ex-husband not in anything she's done. A chimp could make Elvis empire work, Elvis sells himself, she just knew who to hire and listen to....no great brains behind that.

One big thing: she went out and found the ones to make it pay for itself so they could keep Graceland. Vernon nor Elvis ever did.
So, yes-- I give her credit for that . If not; there would be no need for any fans to argue about it. ;)
It was not left to any fans; just Lisa.
And it still doesn't belong to any fans.

[Suzan]

I've never said that Graceland belonged to the fans, none of my posts state that, matter of fact I've stated that visiting Graceland is a privilage not a given.

As for Vernon and Elvis, Elvis did think about opening the raquetball building to the fans...and during his lifetime he had no reason to try to make money off his home, the place where he lived and sought refuge, so to me that point is mute. As for Vernon, who knows what he would have done...he didn't live long enough for us to find out...he could have ended up opening it and perhaps even charging fans to view the grave...again a mute point.

We obviously have different opinions regarding Pris as do many juding from the posts...so you have yours I have mine, neither will change (nor do I want to) the other's opinion. Please refrain from addressing me and my views specifically, thanks.:)

[cameron]

Most get along with Priscilla . I see no reason to keep "putting her down."
It's only on some MB that some really "go after" her.
It's kind of silly considering--- and childish.

I've said I wasn't too happy because of some things I know about her .
But, it appears she grew up . Too bad everyone else can't.
Especially now that she has very little say about what happens there .
She's just a paid employee now.

It's all there in black and white what she accomplished.
It is my opinion that it is because of her the fans have Graceland.

[Suzan]

Nobody goes after her.

And lets keep on topic, I've stated that she does not "tread" the forums. I stand by that.;)

well said cameron and l agree(y)

[cameron]

Elvis Presley's legacy is his music. As long as we recognize that ; we're fine.
To give him credit for something that occured after his death; I don't think he'd want the credit; but would happily give credit where credit is due..

[goodelvisgirl]

well i have mixed feelings about her for the most part i'm not a fan of her i think she did wrong and wright good and bad good luck to her but i'm not sure anyone would know who she was if her last name wasn't presley and i agree with some of the posts she does deserve an oscar for the potrayal of the sad widdow the neglected wife oh this woman gets me started all the time so i'll leave it there

The truth is : None of them would be anything if not for Elvis.

Actually, the truth is they are known because of Elvis.

Their entire worth as human beings is not entirely tied up to their associations with Elvis. Each of them is worth something in and of themselves.

I agree. Their total worth does not depend on Elvis .;)
They're all just more well known by having some connection to Elvis.

Some fans are not very likeable .Vernon didnt try to forge a singing or acting career with no talent.

[cameron]

Nope, he just lived off Elvis.

[MissyM]

Come on now Cameron, you didn't really expect for him to get a factory job or something did you?

[cameron]

Yes, he could have supported his wife and child. He didn't.
Gladys did. Then Elvis took over .

For the first time I agree with every word in one of your posts.Youre observations are exactly correct.

[Suzan]

As is Pris.

Admit it or not. Priscilla has earned her keep these many years.;)

This is true, and it has nothing to do whether we like Priscilla or not...;)

Good points Cameron...it is hard to argue with the black and white numbers. They are what they are...wether we like her as a person is insignificant in relation to the monetary figures.:notworthy
