Chapter Notes
Graceland is the best known private residence in Memphis, Tennessee. The former home of Elvis Presley is now open for tours and is part of a large entertainment park dedicated to Elvis Presley.
However, there is also a dark side to the King's former estate. While Priscilla, his ex-wife was specifically written out of his will after a fairly contentious court case over spousal support, Elvis' dad Vernon enlisted her aid at the end of his life. She, along with her advisors came in and stripped out many of Elvis' red and white decor from the 1974 re-model to transform Graceland back to an earlier era, that she deemed more tasteful. Don't worry dear visitors, there is still plenty of kitsch 70's style, and "poor boy rich" flavor.
Following the death of Elvis's troubled only child, Lisa Marie Presley in 2023, his ex-wife, Priscilla went to great lengths to wrestle control of the mansion away from her own granddaughter, Riley Keough. After Lisa Marie sold away much of the Elvis memorabilia and licensing rights - the mansion is the largest part of the Elvis estate that remains intact.
Priscilla also fought for (in court) and won the right to be buried at Graceland in the family cemetary, which was considered ironic given that she has spent the last 50 years capitalizing on her ex-husband's fame with barely disguised disdain, including a recent film that suggests that the King of Rock n' Roll was a child molester who took advantage of a young Priscilla and stood in the way of her fame. (There is a great biography by an award winner journalist, Suzanne Finstead that suggests otherwise.)
