Biography

Lisa Marie Presley was born on Feb. 1, 1968. Nine months to the day of her parents wedding. She is the only child of Elvis and Priscilla Presley. Even before she was born, she was known and loved the world over. Feb.1, was the day the little princess graced us with her presence. Her parents were overjoyed and adored their little Lisa Marie.

Lisa lived a very sheltered life. The Presley's carefully watched over their bundle of joy and showered her with love and gifts.

As she grew up, Lisa became aware of her father's emense popularity. She understood that when Elvis was around, things got done. She adopted this attitude and ran Graceland as the princess of the mansion. She would have the staff and everyone around her fulfilling every wish, yet her mother Priscilla, struggled to have Lisa grow up in a "normal" atmospher. How can you have a normal upbringing when you're the daughter of the greatest entertainer on Earth? Well, it wasn't easy according to Priscilla.

She lived at Graceland from 1968 to 1972. At the age of 4, her parents divorced so Lisa lived at Graceland some of the time and ran the house, and the other times, she lived with Priscilla who was strict and had Lisa on a schedule. She said it was tough to go from total freedom with her father, to having a set time to go by with her mother. Priscilla made sure that Lisa had some kind of structure in her life, while with Elvis it was all fun and games!

After the divorce, Lisa mostly lived with her mother in LA. She would see her father as much as she could. He would have a car to pick her up and take her to see Elvis anytime he could. Elvis and Lisa adored eachother and had a very close relationship. To everyone's extreme shock and sadness, on one of her visits to Graceland (Aug. 16, 1977) Elvis passed away. She was only 9 years old at the time. It's safe to say that Lisa carries her father's memory with her to this day. She even wrote a song for him, but we'll get to that later.

In 1979, Lisa felt another death. Her grandfather, Vernon (Elvis' father) whom she loved dearly. This was a very harsh thing for a child so young to lose two very strong men in her life that she loved so much. She was 11.

The 1980's were Lisa's teen years. Priscilla stated on many occasions that when Lisa turned 13, she became a different child. Lisa was hanging out with the wrong crowd and doing things she shouldn't have. Priscilla put her in different schools through the years to try to get Lisa interested in something. She found out at a very young age that she liked to write poems and little stories. Lisa would often lock herself in her room and listen to records, and singing into a hairbrush. A hint of things to come!

Lisa was an average student. She didn't like school and she was a very shy person, who didn't make friends easily. Lisa would surround herself with people that weren't the right influence for her. She struggled to stay focused on school. Frustrated with it, she dropped out in the 11th grade.

At her wits end, Priscilla decided to put Lisa in a Scientology based school that would teach Lisa self help and discipline. There, she met her future husband. His name is Danny Keough. He was a musician in a band called D-Bat. He was young and sexy and Lisa fell for him hard. They married October 3, 1988. They were married 6 years and had 2 children together. Danielle Riley and Benjamin Storm. Lisa and Danny divorced in 1994 but has remained best friends.

January 8, 1993 Lisa attended an Elvis stamp celebration. This was the first time she made an appearance on behalf of her father. She shied away from talking about him, giving any kind of  interviews up to now, so this was a major event!

After the divorce of her first husband Danny, she married Michael Jackson. They were friends prior to this marriage. She and MJ would make a lot of public appearances together and even did an interview with Diane Sawyer. The couple were married for a year and a half. It produced no children.

Since her second divorce, Lisa was on the cover of Vogue magazine and really getting out there, showing that there's another side of this shy princess. She showed up for music awards, opened an Elvis themed restaraunt with her mom, helped open a Scientology Center in Memphis and many other things. The most important thing she did to date was the 20th anniversary of her father's death. It was Lisa's singing debut! She did an Elvis tune with him via video. The song was "Don't Cry Daddy" and the place went wild. It was met with thunderous applause and many tears shed by very appreciative fans. Will Lisa sing or put out an album? Nobody knew at this point but there definately was something there to hint to it.
