In her acting career, Presley costarred with Leslie Nielsen in the Naked Gun film trilogy and played Jenna Wade on the long-running television series Dallas.

[10] Over the next few years, the growing family repeatedly relocated as her stepfather's Air Force career moved them from Connecticut to New Mexico to Maine.

[11] Presley would later recall how uneasy she felt about having to move so often, never knowing if she could ever make friends for life or if she would fit in with the people she would meet at the next place.

[12] Priscilla was "crushed" upon learning this news, as it occurred just after her junior high school years, and was upset about leaving her friends and connections behind.

[13] On September 13, 1959, 14-year-old Priscilla met 24-year-old Elvis at a party at his villa in Bad Nauheim, West Germany, which he had rented during his military service.

Elvis told her they were going to Las Vegas, and to confuse her parents, he had Priscilla write a postcard for every day they would be away, with the intent that each would be mailed daily from Los Angeles by a member of his staff.

[23] Shortly before Christmas 1966, Elvis proposed to Priscilla, after being reminded of the record contract's RCA "morals clause" by his manager, Colonel Tom Parker.

[33] It was followed by a quick press conference and a $10,000 breakfast reception, attended by friends, family, and business associates from MGM, RCA, and the William Morris Agency.

In an attempt to heal rifts, Elvis and Priscilla held another reception at Graceland on May 29 for the friends and family who were unable to attend the original ceremonies.

[37] Priscilla wrote, in Elvis and Me, that she began taking private dance lessons around the time her husband was filming Live a Little, Love a Little (1968).

However, when Elvis's career took off again following his 1968 television special, he was constantly touring and playing in Las Vegas and having affairs, while Priscilla stayed at home to care for their daughter.

[41] She soon began an affair with him, stating that, "I still loved Elvis, greatly, but over the next few months, I knew I would have to make a crucial decision regarding my destiny".

[46] Many years later on the British talk show Loose Women, Priscilla said she and Elvis did sleep together after their daughter Lisa Marie was born.

[48] To avoid Priscilla having to make her home address available on public records, risking the security of her and Lisa Marie,[49] Elvis filed for divorce on his 38th birthday, January 8, 1973.

[54] She then dated photographer Terry O'Neill,[55][56] lawyer Robert Kardashian,[57][58] hairdresser Elie Ezerzer,[59] and financiers Morgan Maxfield[60] and Kirk Kerkorian.

[61][62] Beginning in 1978, Presley had a six-year intermittent live-in relationship with model Michael Edwards, until he allegedly began abusing teenage Lisa Marie.

Edwards recounts the tale of their relationship in his book Priscilla, Elvis, and Me (1988), which discloses her liaisons with Julio Iglesias and Richard Gere in the early 1980s.

[57][71][72][73] In the early 2010s she was linked to restaurateur Richie Palmer, ex-husband of Raquel Welch,[57][73][74] as well as Australian entertainer Barry Crocker[75] and disc jockey Toby Anstis.

[32] In a 1973 interview to promote the opening of the store, Priscilla said, "After the separation, I had to make up my mind about what I wanted to do, and since I had worked with Olivia for such a long time on my own clothes, I decided to try it professionally.

[82] The shop was a successful business venture, with celebrity clients including Diana Ross, Carol Burnett, Jill Ireland, Mary Tyler Moore, Victoria Principal, Michelle Phillips, Dyan Cannon, Julie Christie, Suzanne Pleshette, Cher, Liza Minnelli, Lana Turner, Barbra Streisand, and Natalie Wood shopping there regularly.

Priscilla became the chairperson and president of Elvis Presley Enterprises (EPE), stating that she would remain in the position until Lisa Marie reached 21 years of age.

In 1988, Presley launched her own fragrance, Moments, and followed this up with a range of best-selling perfumes in the 1990s – Experiences in 1993, Indian Summer in 1996, and Roses and More in 1998.

[23] She has also successfully sold her line of products live on the Home Shopping Network and was coached by veteran HSN host Bob Circosta.

[89] Also in that year the U.S. Postmaster General Megan Brennan and Priscilla Presley dedicated an Elvis "forever" stamp, which featured a 1955 black-and-white image shot by photographer William Speer.

[91] On August 16, 2019, it was announced that Presley, in conjunction with John Eddie, as well as Sony Pictures, would create and produce Agent Elvis, a Netflix adult animated fictional series about her former husband working as a spy by night while remaining a musician during the day.

Hal B. Wallis, a Hollywood producer who had financed many of Elvis's earlier films, showed interest in signing Priscilla to a contract.

As the third actor to portray Jenna (after Morgan Fairchild and Francine Tacker), she played the role for the longest of the three after the character was expanded and Presley became a series regular.

Critic Roger Ebert praised Presley's performance, saying her "light comic touch" helped balance out the film's more over-the-top humor.

[102] Since 2003, Presley has been the Ambassador of the Dream Foundation, a Santa Barbara-based wish-granting organization for terminally ill adults and their families.

[111] She was named godmother of the largest river steamboat ever built, American Queen, christened April 27, 2012 at its home port in Memphis.
