Priscilla Beaulieu Presley

Priscilla Beaulieu Presley (born Priscilla Ann Wagner; May 24, 1945) is an American actress and businesswoman.

She is the ex-wife of singer and actor Elvis Presley, Mother of Lisa Marie.

Priscilla purchased a large mansion in Beverly Hills. She dated lawyer Robert Kardashian in 1976. In 1978, she began a relationship with model Michael Edwards. She invited Edwards and his daughter Caroline to move into her mansion. They were together for six years before breaking up in 1984. In 1988 he wrote a book entitled Priscilla, Elvis, and Me, in which he says he was obsessed with Elvis and was sexually attracted to Priscilla’s daughter, Lisa Marie. Edwards claims that Priscilla had a one-night-stand with actor Richard Gere in 1983 and that she also dated singer Julio Iglesias. In late 1984, Priscilla began dating screenwriter Marco Garibaldi. They were together for nearly 22 years. The couple have a son, Navarone (born March 1, 1987). In 2005, Navarone was arrested for possession of magic mushrooms. Priscilla and Garibaldi broke up in March 2006. At the beginning of their relationship, the couple signed a promissory agreement that if they should break up, he will not write a book about her. In 2007, she was romantically linked with Nigel Lythgoe.

and the mother of singer-songwriter Lisa Marie Presley.

Priscilla is the founder of Elvis Presley Enterprises, where she served as chairman of the board from 1982 to 1998.

After the death of Elvis’ father, Vernon, in 1979, Priscilla served as co-executor of Elvis’ estate. Marty Lacker, a close friend of Elvis, says he was approached by Priscilla after the singer’s death “to help talk Vernon into naming her [in his will]”.

Graceland itself cost $500,000 a year in upkeep, and expenses had dwindled Lisa Marie’s inheritance to $5 million. Priscilla examined other famous house-museums, and hired a CEO to turn Graceland into a moneymaker. She became the chairwoman and president of Elvis Presley Enterprises. It cost $536,000 to open Graceland, a massive gamble at the time and one which was certainly not guaranteed to pay off, but that money was earned back in the first 38 days that it was open to the public. After Graceland opened to the public in 1982, the enterprise’s fortunes soared and eventually the trust grew to be worth over $100 million

As an actress, Priscilla is best known for co-starring with Leslie Nielsen in the three successful Naked Gun films. Priscilla’s only other feature film has been the poorly received The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, in 1990. She hasn’t acted in over a decade. Her most recent appearances have been on the television shows Melrose Place, in 1996, Touched by an Angel, in 1997, and in Spin City, in 1999.

and for her five-year run playing the character Jenna Wade on the television series Dallas.

Priscilla is a devoted member of the controversial Church of Scientology, and speaks publicly for the religion’s anti-psychiatry front group, the CCHR.
