Thread: Priscilla the liar

  1. #41
    What I don't like is the fact that when everybody and their brother was hammering EP, through countless books, Priscilla was piling on also. Now, don't get me wrong, she has also done some very positive things as well. Her effort to keep Graceland cannot be taken for granted and has to be appreciated by us fans. Still, there's no doubt she's definitely benefitted from the Presley name, tenfold!

    You bet that's what they'll do. They are bound and determined to keep Priscilla's story as the "truth" preserved forever in the Elvis legacy. I do, however, hope and pray that won't be the case. Why doesn't she just come clean, admit the truth, and be done with it. "The Truth will set you free". It's not going to hurt her income at this point, she'll still use the name and it's got to be a serious burden carrying all those lies and secrets around. Then again, she could be in total denial now and actually starting to believe her own stories.

    I totally agree!
    We can only talk about their past because nobody knows the truth...but we can judge Cilla's behaviour after his death and make an opinion..this is what I don't like in her, more than her choices during their relationship.

    I, too, think Elvis might have chosen a different path in marriage if he had not already put himself under some verbal obligation concerning Miss Pris.

    Her family or anyone that knew what was going on and wanted to - could have ruined him. The public as a whole would never have understood their relationship before their marriage and he knew it.

    I, think Miss Pris used a cunning naive-acting image to set her manipulation in action. When the movie "Elvis and Me" began with scenes of her as a young girl I could see what she was right away. If she had never met Elvis Presley and someone had shown me those home movies I could have told you the type person she would turn out to be. I have a cousin just like her and, man, does she know how to work it. She gets whatever she wants from whomever she wants whenever she wants. The same with Miss Pris.

    I dont mean to sound to caustic but by the time Elvis met Pris he was used to hanging out with groupies,vegas stippers and hollywood starlets.No 14 year old girl played him believe me.She got played right along with her parents.Elvis was in the drivers seat the whole way.

    You have your right to your opinion, but I think you are way off the mark on this one jak.... Silly Cilla knew what she was doing and so did her parents.

    Elvis did not want to marry her.. he loved her like a little sister.. don't know of anybody that would want to marry their sister... yes it is to bad that he didn't relize it earlier and to bad that Parker didn't leave him alone to make up his mind if he wanted to marry her.

    (Yep, that is just my opinion!!!) Have a great day. dovey

    I agree with Dovey 100%. Elvis may have been involved with groupies, starlets and vegas showgirls before he met Priscilla but he was always naive, immature and certainly not worldly-wise. Priscilla had no trouble at all pulling a fast one over him. I think he caught on long before he married her but couldn't get out of it.

    I wasn?t there to know for sure but i?m human like they are and you can?t deny that when you are in love you don?t have other affairs like they both had constantly ( one of them more than the other ) so i don?t think they loved each other like man and woman. One thing is to have affection for someone and another very diferent being in love. And i guess that?s what happened to Elvis but he had to consider another aspects of the situation and felt obliged to keep his word.

    How could Priscilla expect love and devotion from someone she forced to marry her? All a stituation like that causes is resentment of being trapped and it's not right to play with someone else's life like that.

    I never understood women who played that game - trapping a man in this way or by getting themselves pregnant. What decent woman would want a man who really didn't want her????

    On the subject of infidelity both were certainly in the wrong but I can understand Elvis' viewpoint more. God knows he was trapped enough by not being able to live a normal life in public.

    Thanks Dovey. I've gotten tired of this Priscilla thread but it occured to me that Priscilla herself should have made the decision to leave Graceland once things started turning sour between her and Elvis and let him off the hook concerning the marriage. She was the only one who had the power to do it but she just had to be known as Mrs. Elvis Presley as evident by her still going by that name today after the divorce.

    I guess if she had left Graceland she wouldn't have had all the money for clothes etc. and all the surgeries.........she's not a person of principal that's for sure.

    I just re-read my post with the statement about women who trap men by getting pregnant and I have to say in all fairness that there is a difference in "accidently" getting pregnant and those who do it deliberately to "trap a man". I realized how cruel my post could be and I apologize in case it applies to anyone out there.

    I've said it all before, many times over. The woman wouldn't know the truth if it slapped her in her botoxed face. Thanks so much for these links and this thread, Joanna. You've got her pegged. Too bad there's still folks out there, including on this board, who are not on to her yet, despite the overload of evidence.

    Here's what I said before on other threads:

    Weeeeelllll, it's much more complicated than that, of course. He was kind of blackmailed into going ahead with the marriage to Pris because they could always publicize that he had been seeing her since she was just a few months shy of 15 and he had just turned 25. She was jailbait, baby! and in - especially - the America of the late fifties/sixties that could totally ruin one's career. I mean: you DO remember the Jerry Lee Lewis debacle, don't you?

    Besides, Pris' parents were going to hold Elvis to the "promise" he'd made to the teenage Pris, because they'd after all "let him have her" when they allowed her to move to Graceland in her senior year of high school (when she of course STILL was jailbait).

    I always have had mixed feelings regarding Pris (and Lisa Marie for that matter. But then she has going for her that she's partially the product of the brainwashing by mommy dearest ).

    Fact is that Pris - and not Elvis as she always claims in her book and all her public appearances - was the one who kept trying to get in contact with him, while he was having fun back in Hollywood with tons of starlets and in Memphis with his girlfriend Anita Wood After her continuous phone calls he finally gave in to the little girl and invited her over for two weeks and the rest is history. She went on a hungerstrike, refused to go to school unless she could go and be with Elvis..... Also, she didn't move permanently to Memphis until she was 16 (and not the publicly held opinion of 13), and then for the first year lived with Elvis's dad and his stepmom, before gradually moving into the main house, Graceland......
    If you read her story, Pris was the perfect saint and Elvis the devil incarnate I always thought she was quite the sophisticated and scheming little 14 year old! And history repeated itself in their daughter, who dropped out of school in the ninth grade and had many boyfriends and a drug past before she got pregnant at barely twenty and got married with her then beau.....Now Lisa was predominantly raised by her mom, so you can't blame Elvis for that
    What always totally irked me about Pris is that when she was freshly divorced from Elvis, she couldn't wait to drop the name "Presley" insisting in interviews in print and in person that she "was her own person" who wanted to prove her independence and reclaim her own identity by being known henceforth as "Priscilla Beaulieu". The body was hardly cold, or she became "Priscilla Beaulieu-Presley" and the longer time had passed since his death, she returned to being known as "Priscilla Presley". There are legions of people (even in the media!) who still think she is Elvis' WIDOW instead of his EX, whose only connection to the original estate was that she was the single heir's legal guardian!!!!
    Did she do good for Elvis' inheritance as far as the memory and the physical (monetary) estate goes? Yes, of course. She increased the finances by hiring the right folks who set out the right strategies as far as making the image and name of Elvis a continued source of income for his heirs. Did she also do it, as she always publicly claims, "for the fans"? No, of course not. That's why EPE allows so much incredible crap to be sold with the EPE stamp of approval. Everybody involved with EPE knows that Elvis' fans are so loyal and (often) so desparate for anything remotely linked to Elvis, that they're almost prepared to (literally) buy anything....... Pris' loyalty is to the almighty US dollar before anything (everybody who saw her at the end of Oprah, pimping the Elvis musical "All shook Up" will acknowledge that).
    Having said that, I found Pris (except for her horribly over botoxed and siliconed face) more likeable on Oprah than Lisa Marie. For the first time I saw a glimpse of honesty that was refreshing in its nakedness. Especially the moment where she admitted she was only able to "let Lisa go" two short years ago, was telling and funny.
    Lisa, however, for all her cursing, posing and "openness" (is that even a word?) to me always comes across as somebody who is playing a part and therefore, couldn't be farther removed from her dad (especially in his early years) in that respect.

    Sorry for the long, very personal, post. These two chicks just get under my skin.

    Awww, still so young. As far as I understand your mixed up post, we don't "hate" ms. Beaulieu or her daughter, we're just a bit fed up with their version of history. But, as I said: you're still young, you'll learn with time where those sentiments come from (if you study the right source material) and you'll probably end up seeing the light. Enjoy your journey

    A lot of nonsense, as usual. Here's part of the transcript that was about Scientology and what Elvis, according to Ms. Beaulieu, thought about it:

    KING: You are a Scientologist.
    PRESLEY: I am.
    KING: Gets you a lot of raps around. Tom Cruise takes rap for it. Why?
    PRESLEY: I don't know. It's doing great, though. Business is great. Any -- you know, I think -- it's a new religion. You know, it's only 50 years old and any great religion, you know is, basically, for some reason that, you know, has a...
    KING: Has it helped you?
    PRESLEY: Absolutely. Absolutely.
    KING: Was Elvis very much into religion?
    PRESLEY: Oh, my gosh, yes, you know, from the time he was a very young child, he was, you know...
    KING: Was he a believer?
    PRESLEY: A believer in...?
    KING: Did he believe in god?
    PRESLEY: Oh, yes. That was really the foundation that he had -- in our families. His mother and father would go to church, the Assembly of God Church and they'd, you know, sing and it was just -- a part of his life. Absolutely.
    KING: What do you think he would have thought of Scientology?
    PRESLEY: Well, you know, he was interested in Scientology. He actually went in and it was very, very new back then, and you know, he -- it's -- there's a -- you know, if you saw the special, it he talked about him being in self-realization. It takes a -- it's a long process.
    It's not something you just go and, you know, just attend. You have to really work on yourself and he wanted things very quickly, and when he found out he had to really work for it, you know, it was like, well, I'll come back.
    KING: I knew L. Ron Hubbard, so...
    PRESLEY: Oh, really?
    KING: I interviewed him when he wrote science-fiction books in the 60s.
    PRESLEY: Oh, I didn't know that.

OK, she has benefited from having been married to Elvis and being the mother of his only child, but haven't we benefited as well? She primarily opened Graceland to the public so it wouldn't need to be sold. Lisa publicly thanked her for that on EBTP.....just cast your minds back to 1977...what if Elvis had married Ginger......God forbid that her family had their claws into the estate......Someone has made a comment that Priscilla should look in the mirror before she makes a comment on how Elvis looked before he died.....Priscilla is now 60, Elvis was only 42, and although he didn't look too bad, he certainly wasn't the Elvis of just a couple of years before. To the married ladies of the board.....would you have stayed married to a man who blatently had affairs in every town he visited, then came home and expected you to be there with the children, and be the dutiful wife? I certainly wouldn't.....I'm sure at the beginning of the marriage, Priscilla went into it fully expecting Elvis to be faithful, she was still only young and inexperienced. We all know that not very often its 'we all lived happily ever after'.....I don't know what Elvis expected, I don't know what Priscilla expected....and we will never know.....the only thing that I know for certain, is that I am very grateful there is a Graceland that I can visit, there is still music from Elvis Presley that I can listen to.
    Wow, I missed this post the first time around.

    To start with the "question to the married ladies" first: Priscilla, young as she may have been when she met Elvis, was NOT as naieve as she wants the planet to believe. As a matter of fact, SHE started out as "the other woman", because Elvis was more or less officially involved with Anita Wood back home, and with several other girls in Germany.
    After she moved into Graceland there were more than one instance where she was confronted with Elvis' "unfaithfullness", even though she was not yet married to him and could really not "claim" him as hers and hers alone
    Of course she may be one of those women who think they can change a man. Still, she had SEVEN years before they tied the knot, and obviously hadn't managed to change him yet. So, what made her stay and what made her marry him anyway if she was already feeling so betrayed? Love? Hmmm, me thinks that was just ONE of the reasons.

    Has she done much to maintain Elvis' legacy: yes and no. Surely she's kept media attention on him, but I feel the real Elvis somehow got lost in all the hoopla. Much of the Graceland or EPE merchandise really obscure the true memory of Elvis, her and Lisa's version of "life with Elvis" CERTAINLY obscures the truth about Elvis because it is so biased to especially Pris' point of view, brainwashed into Lisa's "memory".

    So, in conclusion, is she bad or good? I think Priscilla has lost the primary course in her journey: without Elvis, nobody would ever have known about Priscilla, yet these days she has denegrated Elvis' memory to that of a bit player. In her version of history Elvis pursued HER, begged HER to marry him, only loved HER as his TRUE LOVE, and SHE and SHE ALONE could save the Presley legacy from utter downfall and oblivion. She is taking her self designed role of her being the "guardian angel" of all that is Elvis so seriously that she doesn't even seem to mind relegating the man that has been in her life far longer than Elvis, Marco Garibaldi, and insisting on presenting herself as if she was Elvis' WIDOW, rather than his ex-wife......
    I really don't know whether to respect Garibaldi or to pity him. I hope he is an extremely secure and strong man, because the other possibility could be that he's totally under Pris' thumb......

    Matt
    I read a great quote on her current looks on another MB:

    "The embalmer did a great job. She looks almost life like".
    And yes, the whole Priscilla "Presley" thing is so horrendously wrong. Not just because she's not his widow, but his ex who left him - and not the other way around. But because of the man she has been with for about 20 years now, the son they have together. How must it feel to have your significant other/mother continuously seeking media attention and speaking greatly of a man she left long ago and who's been dead for close to 30 (THIRTY!!!!!!!) years now? How must it feel to be in the shadow of a corpse? How must it feel to have your significant other/mother calling herself not by your last name? It's like she never ever had any other man, let alone child, after 1973!!!!!!!!

    Unfortunately I don't doubt that there's a silent agreement in the Garibaldi household that dear DEAD "uncle" Elvis allows them to still live a very comfortable life. Let's face it> Elvis is the breadwinner in that family!

    And I guess that, whether begrudgingly or without complaint, Garibaldi does enable it, to some extend.......I guess when one becomes accustomed to a certain lifestyle, one agrees easier with certain sacrifices such as being publicly ignored by your significant other......

    2) She thinks OTHER biographers come to writing a book about Elvis "with an agenda"??????? Why, that

    I'm sorry, this woman not only looks worse the older she gets, she becomes more devious, too.

    If she takes her charade even further, I can see her renewing her wedding vows to Elvis' tombstone now that Marco is out of the way, just to justify her title "Elvis' widow"

    Then people wonder why we don`t like her, go figure.
    She hasn`t done a **** thing for the fans.
    As much as I dislike Lisa and find her to be an unattractive, untalented, troubled and lost person, the only thing I DO feel is a burden to her are her father's expecting fans. With that I mean that many Elvis fans expect her to preach the gospel of Elvis, any time, anywhere. I can appreciate that she wishes to be her own person.
    But THAT'S exactly where she went wrong in her life's choices.

    So many huge stars from movies and music had children, who chose a life outside of the limelight, married regular people and held regular jobs.
    But Lisa's life and lifestyle, contrary to all her remarks regarding her "not wanting to be the center of attention" and her (not unlike her mother ) "wanting to be her own person, do her own thing" proves that she made all the wrong choices.
    OF ALL JOB POSSIBILITIES she decided she wants to be a singer....
    If she really, truly, wished to do her own thing and live a "normal" life, she could've chosen an alias and could have become a writer. "Mary Lou Aaronson's new book of poetry" could be on the bestseller list. It would be a great gimmick, "the mystery author"....
    If she really, truly, wished to do her own thing and live a "normal" life, she could've continued marrying regular (if not fellow Scientologists) guys - or stuck with one for a change, but no, she moved from Michael Jackson to Nicholas Cage, and the guys in between were all struggling musicians with their own - be it small - following.
    Because of her apparent need for some degree of limelight, she's created her own pitfall that causes some of her father's fans to want to see (and hear, lord have mercy:vomit: ) more from her.

    And no, I don't buy statements from certain contingents of Elvis fans like "her daddy would be so proud of her", or "she has her daddy's talent", "daddy's little girl", who LOVE all her "music", who applaud every thing she says and does, apparently - although they'll always deny it - because she's related to Elvis, his only - known - child, but no, I wholeheartedly disagree. I think Elvis might have been amused by her, had he not been related to her, and probably commented on her like "that's one ditzy/far-out chick". Elvis wasn't all that charmed by promiscuous women, and his daughter sure turned out to be one. I don't think she's talented, I question many of her choices, and no, at nearly forty, she's definitely past the stage of being referred to as "daddy's little girl", gimme a break!
    If you visit her official site, you can see that since her latest wedding was in the making, her own input in the site came to a screeching halt. As far as I know, her OFFICIAL site still hasn't officially made any statement regarding her marriage. To me that kinda implies disrespect to her own - blindly adoring, for reasons absolutly oblivious to me - fans.

    I think it would be best for her if she stuck to one choice: limelight or not. Wanna be a "singer", do videoclips, "concerts", "tours" etc. make sure you're up for the downside on that> long time away from home, planning in time to return something to your fanbase aside from "performing" for them for big bucks and selling them merchandise (again for big bucks), getting media attention even at times when you don't want it.
    You want to do your own thing and have a normal, private, life> you don't HAVE to pretend to be a singer or star, or celeb. Your only, legitimate, claim to fame is your famous last name. In that, you really don't differ that much from Paris Hilton, except she's even more an attention ***** and in her case the famous name comes from her GRANDfather. But you "sing" about as badly as she does. And if it weren't for your or Paris' famous last name, nobody would have given you record deals, asked you for fashion shoots (really, at 5'3"??? ) or heck, might not even have found it interesting - publicity wise - to marry you.

    In other words, she wants her cake and eat it too. As much as I can understand her not wishing to be associated with certain parts of the Elvis fandom, I do feel she owes more respect to the people who essentially, let's face it, allow her and her plastic mom to live like Queens.

    I really think Elvis loved her..... Elvis had a choice, no one forced Elvis into
    anything.. marraige included. He was the one who convinced her parents to
    let her come over in the first place and he spent years living with her before
    they got married....so if he had no feelings for her he would not have married
    her. She put up with a lot in fairness, Elvis hundred-timed her!She had an
    affair with Mike Stone but you would not blame her...after all whats good for the goose..... no one woman would have ever been enough for him, thats the way he was....
    The memphis mafia have often said that on tour they did'nt consider themselves
    married that only the wives wer'e married.
    I'm not saying Prisillas perfect or anything, but it is very easy to judge..... no ones
    perfect....not even Elvis was, he had a lot of faults to go along with the magic....
    and thats why I love him......he was human and people can relate to him....

    Just my opinion.....

    Hi Trev,

    Like I said before in an earlier post> don't forget Priscilla started out as "the other woman". Anita Wood was the steady lady in his life, be it at a distance overseas, when Pris entered the scene. Loooooooong before Graceland and marriage entered her world, she was totally aware of Elvis' philandering. She used to hate it as a teenager to know he was going out (and more) with many of his co-stars and starlets. Yes, she was young, but I tend to disagree with people who take her on her word when she says she was naive. Just my opinion.

    This one really makes ya wanna barf. You're warned for high crap levels

    I'm blogging you as I sit in the Memphis airport ready to return home to my family in Los Angeles. PRISCILLA PRESLEY -- what a woman, what an interview, what an experience.

    I have interviewed Priscilla on several occasions, but on this trip, with Graceland being named a historical landmark, Priscilla was more open and relaxed than I've ever seen her. Perhaps it is because she was surrounded by family, friends and Graceland employees who have been there for decades; perhaps it's because LISA MARIE has found love and married a man she adores; or perhaps it's because that, 28 years after his death, Priscilla still feels ELVIS PRESLEY's spirit in the house that they shared as man and wife.

    I didn't know what to expect when I entered Graceland for my private tour of the house with Priscilla. After all, when you hear "national landmark," you think cold or stuffy. Not at all. I felt like I was walking into a home -- like Elvis himself was giving me a big hug. It was so inviting, so warm.

    Actually, as our crew set up for our interview, I hung out in Elvis' kitchen. It was fun listening to the stories of life with "The King." Elvis actually had two night cooks because he would be awake at all hours and he'd want to eat. We limited our snacks to cheese, crackers and M&M's ... not the fried banana sandwiches Elvis was so famous for craving!

    Priscilla and I talked about the memories -- both good and bad. You have to realize, that she was basically plucked from childhood and thrown into the crazy circus that was Elvis' life. Priscilla was just 14 when she met Elvis. She married him just before her 22nd birthday and moved into Graceland. She came to call this fourteen-acre estate home. And, sitting with her, in Graceland, you feel that she is home.

    You know, she decided to open Graceland years ago out of necessity. She says that everyone told her not to do it. But, her loving tribute to the late Elvis Presley, the millions who have come to visit over the years and how much it means to Elvis fans around the world and to keeping his legacy alive, has proven that it was a right call. Now, to have the Secretary of the Interior, GALE NORTON, name Graceland a national historic landmark means the world to Priscilla.

    A little added info for you, my ET Online friends: I asked Priscilla if she'll act again. We haven't seen her on television or the big screen in an acting role since her "Spin City" guest spot in 1999. Well, good news; Priscilla is open to acting again ... as long as it's the right role. She said she is looking for a drama.

    Oh, and another bit of gossip for you ... as for "Dallas" the movie. Priscilla does not like that idea at all. You might recall she rocked the long-running primetime soap as Jenna Wade from 1983 to 1988. She told me that it was so perfect for the time and she doesn't think it will play well with today's audiences.
    The brainwashing and re-writing of history by ignorants like Jann Carl who obviously hasn't done her homework is mindboggling!

    She's probably planning another book because Linda's busy with hers and it's a fact that Linda has stated publicly that after the DIVORCE Priscilla wasn't around at Graceland very often, that Lisa visited there alone and was traveling there alone.....

    I truly look forward to Linda Thomson writing her autobiography as this will perhaps put some myths to rest. Linda has always kept her own council and has always acted with dignity. Priscilla has all but re-written Elvis' last years alive and convienently erased any traces of Linda. One can only hope that Linda sets the record straight because Linda was Elvis common law wife for five years and if anyone has the right to feel widowed it is Linda! (Ginger just doesn't count).

    You know, Matt, you're right. Due to Priscilla's interferance with truth, reality and history, Elvis really HAS left the building - Graceland. Due to her manipulating of the facts, she has removed Elvis' spirit, his essence, from the one place that was a safe haven to him. It's criminal, really. The product that she's selling may be called "Elvis", but that's all it has in common with the real man and artist that he was.

    Speaking solely for myself> I don't hate Lisa Marie. I pity her.
    She seems unbalanced to me.
    She thinks - and to a certain extent she unfortunately is right about that, because there are scores of Elvis fans who wish to see and hear Elvis in her (nobody notices she's not just genetically influenced by her dad, but, like all Elvis wannabes, by his performances and movies on VHS and DVD as well ) or has been brainwashed to think she is talented enough to pull off a career in showbiz. Well, she is NOT.
    She's living proof that talent is not hereditary.
    Any person with a sense of reality would then either seriously work on himself to improve, or change careers.
    It's true that she doesn't owe Elvis fans anything, I agree.
    But Elvis fans and the rest of the world don't owe her either to automatically find everything she says or does wonderful, or agreeable (sp).
    As an artist, she's way below average, interesting facial expressions or hand gestures, or wardrobe, or famous last name, aside.
    Had her last name been anything else but Presley (or any other famous name like Hilton) then nobody in their right mind would have signed a deal with her.
    Is it unfair to criticize her? No, she's an adult, she puts herself out there, she has a clear example of her dad's that once in the limelight, your bound to become a target, fair or not.
    Is it unfair to compare her to her dad? If one does so, then yes.
    I don't compare her with her father because she's not even of the same species, as an artist, so there's no use to compare her to him or any other, truly talented, professional, and even amateur, singer.
    I criticize her while comparing her to ordinary people that I know and have heard singing WAY, WAY better than her, whose profession isn't even singing. There's scores of amateur singers out there who put her to shame. No need to compare her to her dad to make the point that she can't sing.

    Earlier quote of mine about Lisa Marie below.

    She could have put her lyrics in a book and called herself a poet, or just written stuff down in a book and call herself an author. Or she could have picked a gazillion of other professions, yet she chose the exact same thing her dad did.
    Also she's really unbelievable when she says stuff like she did on Oprah, that she doesn't like to be the center of attention and that she did not go to red carpet occassions like every opening of an envelope: she chose to do fashion photo shoots, pose for US glossies, date famous men and ultimately go on stage herself..... not really actions of a person who doesn't want to have attention focused on her There are tons of celeb's kids who have very full lives and careers well outside the public eye, she could have done that too, easily..... I suspect the fact that she and Pris are out there so much is fueled by economic interests .... keeping Elvis (and thus the cash register) on the forefront.

    PRISCILLA PRESLEY blames divided loyalties on the breakdown of her marriage to rock 'n' roll king ELVIS PRESLEY, revealing the birth of their daughter made it "too difficult" to support him fully.
    The 60-year-old actress admits she was consumed by her husband's fame and hectic lifestyle, and after LISA MARIE was born in 1968 she found it increasingly difficult to balance being his wife with motherhood.
    She says, "He (Elvis) was always the first, he was the first of everything he did. I lost my identity to an extent. Anyone can get lost in that world. When Lisa Marie came I felt like I was serving two masters. I stopped travelling with him but it was still very difficult. He was very demanding.

    In conclusion:
    Pris DID drop the Presley name officially right after the divorce, only to take it back AFTER Elvis' death. And now she complains about being "stuck" to it? (I have to censor myself here, but you can imagine what I'd like to call her)
    She changed so many facts in Elvis' history, especially pertaining to her role in it, that for her sake I hope she documented it all. She wouldn't want to get caught in a LIE now would she?

    Diane, Your post does not sound cruel at all.... it is the truth!!!!!!!!


    Some books imply that she did know what she was doing and did make sure that the trap was well set!! We will never know the truth but anything is possible.

    You point was well taken here.. Dovey

    I guess Im one of those on the board who hasnt caught on to Priscilla yet.I just cant blame her for "forcing" Elvis into marriage.Everybody wants to blame her or Parker for all of Elvis' problems while Elvis went through life in his naive childlike state unaware of what was happening around him.Im going to give Elvis more credit than that.Right up until he died he would have taken her back.He would tell Mama Pauline that he asked her back but she just wouldnt do it.Again why do you think Vernon asked for her help after Elvis passed?Because he trusted her.If she was so evil he would not have asked for her help.Please people dont act like you know what happened in germany 40 years ago.We know what we read in books and thats what the author wants you to believe.Dont blame her for making money off Elvis.Who was there that hasnt done it?Please name them for me.Elvis the man is long gone and his name is nothing more than a business now and has been for a long time.I dont always like it but its just good old fashioned american capitalism.Im not saying she is an angel but I dont think she's a devil either.
