The film by Sofia Coppola documents Priscilla Presley's relationship with Elvis Presley, which started when she was just 14 years old.
Priscilla Presley, who was not actually part of the panel for the press conference, jumped in from the audience to respond to the question,“It’s very difficult to sit and watch a film about you, about your life, about your love,” Priscilla Presley said, with Variety reporting her eyes welled with tears. “Sofia did an amazing job. She did her homework, we spoke a couple of times and I really put everything out for her that I could.
“It was very difficult for my parents to understand that Elvis would be so interested in me and why,” she said, according to Variety. “And I really do think because I was more of a listener. Elvis would pour his heart out to me in every way in Germany: his fears, his hopes, the loss of his mother — which he never, ever got over. And I was the person who really, really sat there to listen and to comfort him. That was really our connection.
In it, she expressly said that the two of them did have a sexual relationship. She said that they had engaged in other forms of"lovemaking" but did not have penetrative sex until marriage, when she was 21 years old. Later in her book, she explained that"instead of consummating our love in the usual way, he began teaching me other means of pleasing him.
