Priscilla Presley Explains Why She Never Remarried After Elvis, Praises Sofia Coppola's Biopic as "Right On"

Priscilla Presley hails Sofia Coppola's Priscilla, based on her own 1985 memoir, as 'right on', while discussing her enduring love for Elvis and the choice to never remarry after him amidst the premiere of the biographical film.

  • Priscilla Presley, in a recent Q&A event, spoke about her enduring love for Elvis Presley and her decision to never remarry after their divorce in 1973, stating that no one could ever match him.
  • Presley has praised Sofia Coppola's recent biographical film 'Priscilla', describing it as accurately depicting her life during and after her marriage to Elvis. The film is based on her 1985 memoir 'Elvis and Me'.
  • One revelation from the event was Elvis' post-divorce mindset, as Priscilla claimed he would not have been able to 'handle' her remarrying. She also spoke about Elvis' sense of guilt for not being around enough when their daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, was growing up.
  • Priscilla ends her words with a wish of being laid to rest alongside Elvis and their daughter, Lisa Marie, at the Graceland's Meditation Garden, echoing a statement she made to TMZ earlier this year.
  • Despite Lisa Marie Presley's past criticisms of the script for 'Priscilla', citing it as presenting a 'shockingly vengeful' perspective of Elvis, Priscilla has defended Coppola's portrayal. She trusts that Coppola has taken care in representing both her and Elvis with due sensitivity and complexity.
