I don't really know.....she comes across as slightly stiff to me!!!
over the years priscilla has said that she didn't want to be in the spotlight and that the presley name was a curse[billy smith claims in revelations book], for years she had shuned media attention while E.P. was alive, then suddenly she appeard in commercials and dreadful shows like those amazing animals, dallass , and lets not forget those awful movies like naked gun, ford fairlane among others , my question is why is she always contaradicting herself and is she really an actress?

IMO, most of the MM didn't like Priscilla. So,I take what they say about her with a grain of salt.
I used to watch Dallas & thought she did ok.
{that was in my period of dislike for her} Naked Gun & Ford Fairlane, many people love. They just weren't my type of movies.
Some of the kids in our family loved animals so, Amazing Animals was watched here too.
As for going to work; most divorced women do . Most to make a living, but also to give themselves a bit of self-worth & to figure out who they are ;apart from being someones wife and/or mother .
this is true, the naked gun films didn't do it for me, no matter who was in them............
I can also understand her wanting to work, she had lived in Elvis' shadow and wanted to have her own life......nothing wrong with that!!!!
People are advised to play to their strengths when seeking work, so it seems perfectly natural that she would have taken a direction which utilizes her extraordinary beauty, and she had plenty of encouragement to do so.
'Taking Care of Beaulieu'.
wasn't Larry Hagman that put her forward for Dallas?
I believe so debtbrunoShe was hired because she had the Presley name..Or rather changed it back to Presley
She couldn't act her way out of a paper sack I.M.O.

Priscilla wasn't all that great at acting but she did give a go which l can say good for her. You don't know unless you try.

I've heard Priscilla say many times on t.v. that the Presley name was a burden to her.
Can't say I've heard her say that. I have read it in a few books though.
One thing I've never understood- or seen proven,actually.
{court documents,etc.} That Prisicilla wasn't to use the Presley name.
I'm divorced & know several that are . None of us changed our last names.
We all had kids & IMO, would just confuse them & their school teachers .
Agree with you on this, i divorced my husband not my children.Can't say I've heard her say that. I have read it in a few books though.

Unfortunately, Hollywood was not initially interested in taking Priscilla as she was. Despite her fame, wealth and breathtaking beauty, at first Priscilla found it virtually impossible to land an acting job. She was a novice as an actress, with the burden of a heavy personal legacy, and she knew it. Sensing sexism, she turned down the chance to replace Kate Jackson on the TV show Charlie's Angels.
Slowly, Priscilla built a career on her own terms. First came a glossy commercial hawking shampoo. Then she cohosted the short-lived series Those Amazing Animals. She pushed herself to maintain a heavy schedule that included raising her daughter, opening a Beverly Hills boutique, taking weekly acting lessons and, later, after Elvis died, supervising his estate.

"...handling of her late husband's diverse financial interests." Shouldn't that be "late ex-husband"? I give her credit for getting that done for us. I don't think much of her as an actress but I give her credit for making a career of it somewhat.
Supposedly Elvis told the MM members like Sonny West and Lamar Fike that he didn't want Priscilla to use his last name to try and get a career in showbiz.Can't say I've heard her say that. I have read it in a few books though.

I don't think Elvis or anyone could legally stop their ex-wives from using their last names unless Elvis wanted her to as part of the divorce and Priscilla agreed to it and then she signed a contract specifically stating she wouldn't.
That evidently never happened though.
Thanks, Brian. IF they don't know all, they tell it anyway.
I DO know some women that change their married names back to their maiden names after a divorce.
They don't have kids though.

It's very common for women with children to change the (ex) married last name back to the maiden name in Australia, Sasha.
awful movie...Naked Gun???
You must be kidding! They are hilarious.
While Priscilla is no great actress, she does fit this role quite well and plays off Leslie Nielsen to make a comedy classic!
i have a friend who recently divorced and immediately returned to her maiden name. In fact I know quite a few who have...but then they don't need to capitalise on a famous name like Priscilla did and continues to do.
I think its all a matter of taste. I didn't think those films were particularly funny. I prefer less obvious comedy. I did think, though, that she fitted that particular role well.
It's a shame she was too short for modelling (yes, I know she did do some, but you know what I mean). I think that would have suited her much better. Plus she was very attractive during that time.
