Lisa Marie Presleywas born on February 1, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee.
She is the only child of the late global superstarElvis Presleyand his then wife, Priscilla Presley.
Since Lisa Marie’s arrival, she has lived under a microscope.
Her entire existence has been documented, examined, judged and dissected.
Not only has she been married and divorced four times, but recently her only son died tragically.
The couple’s marriage, which had hardly begun, was already under stress (perThe Things).
Priscilla was immediately transformed upon seeing her newborn.
Unsupervised, Lisa Marie had the run of Graceland and took full advantage of her position.

Being raised in two homes until she was 9 years old exposed her to two wildly divergent lifestyles.
Elvis gave her anything she asked for and Priscilla tried to instill more fiscal responsibility and behavioral boundaries.
Unsurprisingly, Lisa Marie had trouble adjusting to the stricter regulations imposed by her mom.
Drug problems, a rebellious nature and curfew-breaking had Priscilla and her daughter at odds for several years.
Only when she got older did Lisa Marie describe their relationship as very close (perThe Talk).
My demeanor immediately went into [that of] a 15-year-old when she walked out here!
I mean, I’m more abrasive.
