She knew what the place meant to Elvis and, she tells <i>Travelgirl <\/i>Publisher Renee Werbin, \u201cI rose to the occasion and that was my mission.\u201d Since then, our esteemed covergirl has risen to the occasion repeatedly as an actress, entrepreneur, animal rights activist and philanthropist. Read on, as she shares some insight into her amazing life and her latest endeavor: the first-ever Elegant Southern Style Weekend at Graceland, happening in September.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>Travelgirl: <\/i>It\u2019s a pleasure to catch up with you. We\u2019ve been fans since you married Elvis. You met Elvis when you were young. You married and moved into an exhilarating and captivating life, which you handled with grace and humanity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s3\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Priscilla Presley:<\/span><span class=\"s4\"> That\u2019s so nice to hear. When you look back at your life it\u2019s nice to see what you\u2019ve accomplished. I look back and wonder how I managed to find my way. Obviously there was no prototype for me. Day by day life was an education and sometimes I felt very much alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">TG: In 1979, you became co-executor of the Presley estate. You took over from Elvis\u2019 dad, Vernon Presley, and turned the estate into an extraordinarily successful organization. What are some of the obstacles you faced and how did you overcome them?<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s5\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">PP:<\/span><span class=\"s6\"> That\u2019s a very good question and thinking about it I realize that negativity was the biggest obstacle I faced. I realized the estate was running out of money and I wanted to keep everything operating as it was. I was able to accomplish this. I kept all the maids, all of the people we already had on staff, even the gate guards and the cooks. I never let anyone go. I was informed right off that we were running out of funds to support Graceland and I was told that it should be sold. That was the last thing in my mind; I wasn\u2019t going to sell Graceland. Elvis really loved that home. I was determined to keep Graceland and to make sure that Elvis would never be forgotten. We had the IRS after us; we owed estate taxes and there were a lot of unpaid bills. I went on the road by myself, trying to find someone to help me with this task. It was quite a journey and no one seemed to understand the importance of saving this beautiful home that was owned by one of the world\u2019s most iconic entertainers. I went to bankers, to museum officials, to concert promoters \u2014 but it was indicated to me that these people would not help me save Graceland.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s2\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>I saved all that Elvis had, all of his suits and clothing. Thank God for Vernon Presley; he didn\u2019t throw away anything and I\u2019m talking about anything including old lawn furniture. He was always afraid that someone would take it, steal it or sell it so he kept everything, even receipts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">TG: How did you manage back then as a woman by yourself with such a Herculean task?<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s7\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">PP:<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> I rose to the occasion and that was my mission. I was not going to accept \u2018no,\u2019 and I wasn\u2019t going to accept that Elvis would be wouldn\u2019t be remembered in six months, that was unfathomable. Eventually I found someone in Kansas City who is still with us today, the remarkable Jack Soden, our CEO since 1982. He gave us the money and we worked together from the very beginning.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>We had only a little over $100,000 left in our bankroll and we got it all back in a month from people visiting Graceland. It was very rewarding showing all those naysayers that we could do it, and here we are today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s8\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">TG: It\u2019s an iconic stop; Graceland should be one everyone\u2019s bucket list. Elvis Presley was a phenomenon and the world will probably never see anyone like him again. Elvis meant so much to so many people.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s5\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">PP:<\/span> <\/span><span class=\"s6\">People all over the world know about Elvis and love him. They listen to his music still, and I know that for a fact because I\u2019ve been on tour with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and other very famous orchestras around the country and we are playing his music with videos of Elvis singing up on screen. I\u2019m going to the UK in November and elsewhere. We\u2019ve sold over 12,000 seats in the arena thus far. People still want to hear Elvis sing and they want to see him perform; thousands and thousands of people still want to see Elvis Presley.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">TG: You\u2019ve kept Elvis\u2019 legacy alive. He would be amazed at what you\u2019ve accomplished in his memory. I admire your tenacity.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s7\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">PP:<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> Thank you. Well, as I think about it, for me this is fulfilling Elvis\u2019 dreams. One of his dreams was to perform with a full orchestra, which we\u2019ve now done with the Royal Philharmonic. Another was to go to other countries with the orchestra. I\u2019ve been able to accomplish both of those dreams and I have a few more to go. All of this comes from knowing Elvis so well and knowing what his dreams were.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">TG: You are an entrepreneur, an actress, an activist for great causes and a philanthropist. Let\u2019s start with acting.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>We loved you on <i>Dallas<\/i>. What can you share about your acting career?<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s7\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">PP:<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> I never started out to become an actress; it was never in my DNA shall we say. Colonel Parker introduced me to Norman Brokaw who became chairman and CEO of William Morris Agency and Norman took me under his wing. The Colonel told me after Elvis passed that people would be approaching me and wanting me to do a lot of things, and he basically put me in Norman\u2019s hands and Norman guided me. That was how my acting career started.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0One of the first things I did was <\/span><span class=\"s9\"><i>Those Amazing Animals<\/i><\/span><span class=\"s2\">, which I did with Burgess Meredith and Jim Stafford in 1980 and \u201981. I loved it; it was a wonderful show and very educational and as you know, I love animals. It was very successful and that was the start for me. From there I did a movie with Michael Landon; we filmed <\/span><span class=\"s9\"><i>Love is Forever<\/i><\/span><span class=\"s2\"> in Thailand and that was my first experience as an actor. It wasn\u2019t the greatest experience. We worked under difficult conditions and it was uncharted territory for me, the food being the biggest challenge. Michael was very sweet, very nice; it was a learning experience. From there I became the spokesperson for Wella Balsam Shampoo and then went to <\/span><span class=\"s9\"><i>Dallas<\/i><\/span><span class=\"s2\"> and starred as Jenna Wade.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">TG: I loved <i>Dallas<\/i> and watched it every week.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s7\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">PP:<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> I loved that show too. It was nothing I had ever expected. With all of the tabloids stating that no one got along I didn\u2019t know what to expect; I wondered what I was getting into. I started watching the show and found it to be really exciting. There weren\u2019t many television stations at the time we were filming. People would tune in and <\/span><span class=\"s9\"><i>Dallas<\/i><\/span><span class=\"s2\"> was exciting; to viewers it was bigger than life. It was the first insight into the lives of the rich and famous with conflicts, greed, jealousy and betrayals. It was well written and on Friday night at 9 p.m. the country tuned in to see what happened with J.R., Cliff Barnes, and the other stars. Now you can TIVO but back then people didn\u2019t go out on a Friday night; they stayed home and watched <\/span><span class=\"s9\"><i>Dallas<\/i><\/span><span class=\"s2\">. Patrick Duffy was marvelous as was Larry Hagman and the rest of the cast. We were often invited to Larry Hagman\u2019s home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">TG: You became Priscilla Presley \u2013 on your own. You became your own person and not just Elvis\u2019 wife.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s7\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">PP:<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> I did have to separate myself and even today I still do things that show who I am as a person. I have my own projects as well. I know that I am very much attached to the Elvis name, but it is important to do other things that are important to me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">TG: We applaud your dedication to the Dream Foundation. Tell us how we can donate to this most worthwhile foundation that helps adults suffering with terminal illnesses fulfill their dreams.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s10\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">PP:<\/span><span class=\"s8\"> I met Tom Rollerson who was the founder of the Dream Foundation back in 1994. I went to one of his events in the Bahamas and I was blown away. Tom was raising money to help terminally ill adults fulfill their final dreams. I had heard about the Make a Wish Foundation; the Dream Foundation starts for people at age 18; we pick it up after Make a Wish ends. I became part of it; I became an Ambassador and helped fulfill wishes and make dreams a reality. It\u2019s been so rewarding and I\u2019m learning so much. I often go to hospices to work with people and I keep up with them. Their dreams can be so slight; they might need a wheelchair or a computer <\/span><span class=\"s4\">or a trip to Disneyland. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s so worthwhile. More info can be found at Dreamfoundation.org. Please donate to this worthy cause.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s6\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">TG: You are dedicated to many other worthwhile causes including animal rights. How did you first become involved? I know you are also incredibly interested in the PAST Act.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s7\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">PP:<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> I was rescuing animals when I was only five years old. I used to hide them in my closet because my dad didn\u2019t want animals in the house. I brought them in anyway. I had dinner on the table and would take food from the table, excuse myself, and go feed them. My dad finally found out a month later because I had to clean up after them. That was the start. We kept some of the animals but we moved a lot so I would have to find homes for my beloved animals. I had six dogs at one time; three English bulldogs, a French bulldog and two Boston Terriers. They were great and I was their pack leader. I inherited Lisa Marie\u2019s three bulldogs and I was so happy to take them.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0 \u00a0 I am in favor of The PAST Act that was introduced in the House in January. The PAST Act is trying to end the painful practice of soring \u2013 putting chemicals on the front legs of a quarter horse. Tennessee Walking Horses already have a natural gait and soring makes their gait more pronounced. This is potentially hurting the horses and this is a very, very cruel act. For the first time we have 290 sponsors; it\u2019s overwhelming to have so much support. I\u2019ve been to Washington to lobby Senators and Congressmen to co-sponsor in support of the PAST Act. Elvis surprised me with a three-year-old black Quarter Horse named Domino for Christmas once and I would ride every day. I want to protect these horses from harm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">TG: You are hosting an \u201cElegant Southern Style Weekend\u201d at Graceland September 27-29, which will celebrate the American South. What do you have planned?<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s7\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">PP:<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> This is truly exciting for me. It\u2019s going to be our first-ever \u201cElegant Southern Style Weekend.\u201d We\u2019ve been talking about it for a while. It\u2019s going to be a unique celebration of the American South. I\u2019m going to be joined by premier chefs, event planners and lifestyle experts. It will be a real southern culture type of experience. We\u2019ll have guest speakers and panel discussions and we will be answering questions such as, \u201cWhy is the South so embraced?\u201d and, \u201cWhy do people come to the South?\u201d We know all about that because we have so many guests at Graceland who come back again and again for our Southern hospitality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s8\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">TG: Please tell us what Graceland means to you.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s10\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">PP:<\/span><span class=\"s8\"> Graceland means home to me; every time I come back it\u2019s as if I never left. All the memories are sitting there waiting to be told over and over again. I can hear Elvis\u2019 laughter as he walked down the staircase; I can hear him singing in the piano room. It means preserving Graceland to how Elvis loved it and wanted it to be. Elvis was so gracious and so kind. When I meet some of the actresses he worked with they talk about how nice and gracious Elvis was. Graceland is like home; as if I never left.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s8\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">TG: You travel often; do you have a favorite travel destination? What\u2019s on Priscilla Presley\u2019s bucket list?<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s10\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">PP:<\/span><span class=\"s8\"> Oh dear; I\u2019ve traveled all over. I travel with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and Elvis is up there on screen. We\u2019ve taken the orchestra all over the world including Costa Rica, Buenos Aires, Brazil, Australia, Europe, all over. I love to travel and Israel is on my bucket list. Everyone who has gone says they come back a different person.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s8\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">TG: Is there any item you never leave home without?<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s10\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">PP:<\/span><span class=\"s8\"> Photos, I always pack my photos. Oh my gosh, I still look at photos and I miss having photos in a picture frame. I\u2019m always showing photos on my iPhone these days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s8\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">TG: What\u2019s next for the illustrious Priscilla Presley?<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s10\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">PP:<\/span><span class=\"s8\"> The event at Graceland is my focus now. We are working with top people and the event is going to be phenomenal. Please join us; it\u2019s a unique time to be able to get personal with very dedicated, capable and skilled people and I\u2019m looking forward to making this a yearly event. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Priscilla Presley saved Graceland and turned it into the second most visited home in the U.S. (after the White House).
