Ahead of the premiere of Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla” at the Venice Film Festival, here’s the true story of the ’60s power couple.
From then on, and until Elvis’s departure from Germany in the spring of 1960, the pair were frequently together. “The first six months I spent with him were filled with tenderness and affection,” she later wrote. “Blinded by love, I saw none of his faults or weaknesses. He was to become the passion of my life.” Before leaving for the US, she said he told her: “I want you to promise me you’ll stay the way you are. Untouched, as I left you.
After more visits, Priscilla’s parents allowed her to move to Memphis in 1963. The assumption was that she’d finish high school there and live with Elvis’s father and stepmother in a separate house close to Graceland until she could marry Elvis. In truth, she was always sneaking off to see him, and had effectively made the mansion her permanent residence long before her parents knew or approved.
Priscilla maintains that despite having done “other things,” the pair didn’t consummate their relationship until their wedding night, a claim which has been questioned by her biographers. After the big day, the Presleys jetted off to Palm Springs for a minimoon and then returned to Graceland, where they held a second reception for those who weren’t able to attend their Vegas celebration.
