Priscilla Presley talks Elvis, Lisa Marie book, Graceland and more

Adding a legendary name, a touch of Hollywood-meets-rock ‘n’ roll glamour and some Memphis bragging rights to a national conference dedicated to “strategic planning for incoming leadership,” Priscilla Presley was the keynote speaker Thursday during a Rotary Club convention at Downtown’s Halloran Centre.

“At 14, I was shy and lonely,” Presley, 79, told the assembled Rotarians, who had greeted her with an almost giddy standing ovation. “I met someone who was shy and lonely, as well. Elvis became the love of my life while also being one of the most famous people in the world.”

Presley’s 21-minute talk touched on Elvis, her career as a model and actress, her work as a steward of Graceland and the Elvis legacy, her animal welfare advocacy, and her personal ideals of community service, which dovetail with the Rotary mission.

Priscilla Presley speaks at the Rotary Club Large Club Conference at the Halloran Centre in Memphis, Tenn., on Thursday, October 10, 2024.

She did not, however, mention the top Presley news of the moment, the release Tuesday of  “From Here to the Great Unknown,” the much-ballyhooed memoir — currently the top-selling book on Amazon — that was completed by actress Riley Keough after the unexpected death last year of its primary author and Keough’s mother, Lisa Marie Presley, the daughter of Elvis and Priscilla.
