Priscilla Presley - My Life With and Without Elvis Presley

For the First Time... Elvis Presley's ex-wife Tells All

Priscilla Presley - My Life With and Without Elvis Presley

After five years as the wife of the superstar singer, Priscilla Beaulieu Presley is as much of a mystery woman as she was the day she married him - May 1, 1967. In this, her first interview, she talks about Elvis - their romance, marriage, and divorce - and her life today as a woman alone.


Priscilla Ann Beaulieu married Elvis Aron Presley on May 1, 1967, in Las Vegas, Nev. She was 21; he was 32. The wedding culminated a seven-year romance. At the time of the wedding, Elvis was earning $4,000,000 as an actor-singer. On February 1, 1968, the couple had their child - a daughter, Lisa Marie. In August, 1972, the Presleys suddenly separated, and on January 8, of this year, Elvis filed for divorce, giving Priscilla custody of their daughter. As they wait for the divorce to become final, Elvis lives in the $550,000 Holmby Hills estate he once shared with his wife; Priscilla and Lisa live in a large, five-room penthouse apartment overlooking a small marina on the Pacific Palisades. Alimony payments have not yet been worked out, but on all counts the divorce is completely amicable.

After five years as the wife of one of the world's most famous entertainers, Priscilla Ann Beaulieu remains a mystery. She was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on May 24, 1945 to Ann Iversen and Lieutenant Joseph P. Beaulieu of the United States Air Force.

Great article Lorna, gonna post it on the blog and to my own mailing list.

Thanks so very much

I really enjoyed reading it myself.
Is a very respectful account of her life with Elvis, short and sweet.
Is also nice to read reference to him being still around, instead of so many years after his death.
She sounded happy with her life and I dont think Elvis would have minded the interview - except for the Mike Stone bit - making out she met him after Elvis. lol
