Is she still trying to?
Ummmm, I'll have to think about that and get back with you. My first thoughts aren't that she's trying to CHANGE his image, but rather protect it (you probably don't agree), but Elvis was also an intensely private person and she would want to keep some things out of the public eye and away from the media.

No. Elvis was always a beautiful person and an angel. NOBODY can change that image. Not even Cilla!
I think Priscilla and EPE have been determined to move the focus from Elvis' last years to his life before 1973.
And maybe I have a different perspective on that, because I was born after Elvis died. To me, that's a good thing, because until recently there's been a disproportionate emphasis on Elvis as he was at the very end. The balance has shifted back to his career and life overall lately, and that's more fair to me.
elvis had his image long before priscilla was in the picture so no she didn't and couldn't not with the loyal fans around to set the record straight.
Well she did like the Hollywood scene and he didn't.She pretty much was all about that when things went wrong with them and since. She liked to decorate in a fancy style. He may have let her but weather that was his taste is another thing. And she did change Graceland back to her taste saying it was his. Which I don't believe. Look at how pristine Graceland looks now?
The house on Circle G. was so modest and he was so happy there too.
He was never comfortable with Celebs and all that goes with it. She has always loved it and the lifestyle. Have you seen her linen collection. Very fancy smancy and expensive too.
I think she's worked harder trying to change her own.Originally Posted by MissyM

There will never any true anwers to that question, but i did hear from lots of other people that elvis didn't like the red and he used the back door at gracland so he didn't have to see all that red and l for one thinks graceland is beauiful with the colours and its looks like the kings home.
Aunt Delta is supposed to have said: “Elvis didn’t really like all the red that was put in, and he started to use the back stairs so he would not have to look at it.”

Elvis's as the real person and the entertainer, doesn't need any kind of alteration,specially coming from his ex-wife..as for the image,I don't care images but the people themselves..
I agree with Donut. In a way I do think Priscilla is still trying to change Elvis' image. She's worked so hard over the years making herself out to be a victim so what does that make Elvis??

P31, I don't know who the person writing the article from got their info from. Sounds like a rumor. If he didn't like it he would have said so to someone. The only person I know of that has ever said so is Priscilla. That alone makes me wonder. And actually, considering Elvis's background, I'd guess he liked it fine. but that's a guess.
Change? No. Protect.
I`ve also heard that Elvis disliked the red so much that he began using the back door.
Security is not the absence of danger but the presence of God no matter what the danger.
Very well said ladies!I agree with Donut. In a way I do think Priscilla is still trying to change Elvis' image. She's worked so hard over the years making herself out to be a victim so what does that make Elvis??

what do you expect from a message board Missy the 100% turth? I would love to know how someone could change somebody else's image when that person had it from the start?

For one my question was if she tried not if she did, and if she is trying. No I don't expect 100 percent and appreciate any source one provides. Depending on how well we know the source, I think most will decide how credible it is.
To bad we can't say the same for the individiual in your avator

Exactly Missy. I do believe she tried to change him into that something he wasn't..he liked the lifestyle he had and like you said didn't like the hollywood scene etc. I don't see what gave her the right to redecorate Graceland if my ex wife if that happens ever did such a thing i swear I would haunt the living heck out of her.
Hopefully i won't ever go through that though

what a beautiful answer . He was/is/will be a beautiful person forever.
After being dead for 31 years, I'm going to have to disagree with you here.
