As an outsider looking in, I began to read every book and watch every interview pertaining to Elvis many years ago. I wanted the perspective of those who were closest to Elvis. In doing so, I began to see Elvis in a different light, more so as a human and not so much Elvis, the entertainer. Although I now know that there has been a lot of gaslighting, I see it, and I have read it. And with all of that being said, every book and every interview I watched, everyone was consistent with the fact that Elvis was a humble man, he loved his fans , his mother, his family , and little lisa . Also consistent was the fact that Elvis was really no different than you and I , and if you cut him, he really would bleed just like you and I. I read Priscilla presley's book, " Elvis and Me" I watched the movie, I watched " Priscilla, " and it saddens me to see Priscilla rewriting history for the newer generation , and Elvis, the humble, loving , generous man has been lost in all of this, he's been painted in a different light painted far from the loving, kind, happy, humble man that he truly was. Elvis was silenced on August 16th, 1977, when God called him home . He's not here to defend himself he can't set history straight his voice is silenced, but still yet Priscilla continues to gaslight the world, her book and movie " Elvis and Me " and her movie " Priscilla " has so many inconsistencies you can literally compare the untruths and gaslighting by simply watching both movies...but most won't do that , the newer generation doesn't even know about Priscilla's movie " Elvis and Me". So Evis will go down in history as a sad , drug addicted man who appeared to be so unhappy because Priscilla divorced him . For someone who really loved Elvis as she claims, why would she portray Elvis in such a negative way? I hope and pray that those who really did love Elvis will stand up for him, be his voice , and stop the gaslighting. Don't let history portray Elvis in a negative light it's time the world learns who Priscilla really is. Don't let her lies be her truths stop letting her silence the truth because Elvis was so much more than just him and Priscilla . All the money in the world or earthly possessions wouldn't stop me from defending my loved ones. Especially those who can no longer defend themselves.
Totally agree totally incorrect she so self centered at least tell truths and not blacken his name all the smiths family side been blocked out too true Elvis fans will stick by Elvis no matter what
Lisa did tell Coppola to stop. She sent her e-mails and threatened to go public against her, her mother, and the film publicly. It's in my comment below.
Danielle, As a huge Fan of Elvis. I have no desire to see a movie that tarnishs him, in a negative light He was the greatest humanitian, the man that gave us the greatest gift of song and inspiration. I will always be a believer that he made other people's lives better. I will forever love Elvis.❤❤❤❤
Danielle. 👋👋👋 The reason why no Elvis songs were played in the movie was because EPE did not allow it. They put out a stern statement where they stated that they had nothing to do with the movie and they had not consented to it. They also made it clear that none of it was filmed at Graceland. They were very upset especially Joel Weinshsnket who was very close to and fond of Lisa. They weren’t even aware that Priscilla had gone ahead with it so soon after Lisa had passed. They were upset. Sofia Coppola’ requested permission but EPE refused so no participation from EPE, no location allowed and no Elvis’ singing or songs played because EPE refused. They did state that they did not endorse the movie. You can find their official statement on line. 🤞
I thought the 1988 miniseries Elvis & Me was a world better. The whole thing came across as an attack on Elvis, so I definitely understand why Lisa Marie was so upset about it. I read that she emailed the director twice asking her not to release an inaccurate film that would hurt her father's legacy. Priscilla should be ashamed of herself.
Hi Danielle ♥ For some reason prissy wants to cut your family out. I think its because they know the truth. She wants us all to think poor prissy, all alone in that big house. The evidence is out there about lisa Marie wanting to stop the movie from going ahead. Danielle ❤ you are doing a great job and everyone is proud of you especially your nanny and your poppa. Thank you Danielle ♥ Xxx 💝 🤗
Of course Priscilla hates your grandparents, Danielle. They know the truth and the truth is something that Priscilla does not want known. She lies to try and make herself look better than she is and to make her more money. She is nothing but an EX WIFE but wants people to believe she is Elvis' widow. If she gets buried at Graceland I will be fit to be tied! She does not belong there nor does she have the right to even associate her name with Elvis since she divorced Elvis to be with Stone and then more men than I can count after that. Her selfishness and greed is apparent in her keeping the Presley name and thinking more about $$money$$ than giving her son a legal father and name. Elvis has been a part of my life for 68 years and I can't imagine a day without hearing his beautiful voice. I can't thank you and your grandparents enough for what you do in keeping the good memories of Elvis alive.
Lisa sent e-mails to Sophia Coppola. She called the script "shockingly vengeful, and contemptuous," as well as bringing scrutiny on Elvis's living grandchildren as they continue to grieve the loss of Lisa's son Benjamin. She said "my father only comes across as a predator and manipulator. As his daughter I don't read this and see any of this character in my father. I don't read and see any of my mother's perspective of my father. I read this and see your shockingly vengeful and contemptuous perspective and I don't understand why? I will be forced to be in a position where I will openly have to say how I feel about the film and go against you, my mother, and this film publicly." Lisa sent the e-mails in Sept. 2022. The LA Times said that the e-mail exchange did take place between Coppola and Lisa Marie. I'm glad that Lisa had a chance to speak up about this movie before she died. She didn't approve Agent Elvis neither. What mother does this to her daughter and grandchildren? Priscilla is all about herself, and could care less about Elvis's legacy, his family, and his fans.
Ditto @norway. I mentioned it in my comment. Thank uou for quoting it verbatim. I think this is an article that Billy and Jo should definitely read. Variety Magazine , September 2023. It’s on one.
EXACTLY👏🏽 Beauleiu has/had zero respect for Lisa-Marie, but puts that strange son of hers on a pedestal.. lm glad Lisa got to speak up about it also, & would have taken action, as if she needed this..
That “Priscilla” movie pissed me off. She had no problem living off his money & his name her whole damn pathetic life but now that she’s got one foot in the grave she wants to destroy his legacy and make it about her. I can’t stand that woman. Look at her Wikipedia page, there’s a link there on the side of the page, (I think it may be under media or other reading) anyway there’s an article there from Women’s Day magazine. In the article the journalist is going to interview Priscilla after the divorce and she notes that her condo buzzer is now listed under “Priscilla Beaulieu.” She went back to Presley to get her foot in the door in Hollywood, she knew she was NOTHING without that golden Presley name. The fact that she enrolled Lisa Marie into Scientology after Elvis’s death is disrespectful and disgraceful. After Ben’s suicide many of his friends made a video on TH-cam and stated that Scientology really did a number on his mind. It only stayed up for a couple days, I wonder why. Poor Lisa, reading the script to that movie must have been heartbreaking. I hope Riley gives Priscilla what she wants and buries her at Graceland, in the BARN. Just thinking about that movie and her motives gets me hot. 🥵
Lisa hated that this movie was being made . She told Priscilla she was making her dad look like a monster and she knew he was not like that . Lisa would not back this movie. May be the why to not using Elvis's music .
Priscilla doesn't even deserve to be in the barn in my opinion. She's trying to make it like she was still married to him . She gave up that right . She was paid handsomely for it too, All she did was fight with Elvis over Lisa Marie . I'm proud of the loving mother Lisa Marie turned out to be . I'm glad she had her daddy around as long as she did . She learned unconditional love from Elvis . Fly high beautiful Angels 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
@@VegasVixen That was a good one and funny, however the barn is too good for her. I personally don't want her anywhere near Graceland, Mike Stone and her should make plans on being buried next to one another. That would be perfect.
@@sallyjb6209 Yeah, I don't remember the exact reason, we just knew that he didn't want her to use his name after the divorce. Not drawing attention probably wouldn't have helped in that sense, bc Lisa was a Presley and used that name. She was the most famous child.
Coppola purposely chose a girl the size of a pre-schooler to play Beaulieu and a 7 ft giant to play Elvis to accentuate the age difference in a visual way, too. The huge height difference subliminally makes people think "what is that adult doing with that child?" Very cheap methods. In real life, Elvis was 5'11" in bare feet and Beaulieu 5'2". Also: look at how the actress who portrayed Beaulieu looked in the movie at age 14 and how Beaulieu REALLY looked at that age: she looked significantly older than her age, everybody thought so.
Hi Danielle, great video today! I would love to see the photos that your grandparents have from that time of their lives. I have seen a few here and there and your nanny Jo was and is a knock out! Continued prayers for Billy and Jo. Love ya’ll ❤️🙏
My opinion of why she never mentions Billy and Jo is because she knows they tell the TRUTH and if she dares mention them, especially in a bad light, they’ll tell the truth and if it was me I’d do it LOUDLY. Billy is the only one alive that can dispute her stories and I think she’s afraid of what he will say.
💯 on point here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is exactly why she won’t mention anything to do with the Smith’s. I was going to mention the same thing to Billy & Jo last year when we talked about the times she spent with Pasty and Pricilla. This was when the talk of Pricilla’s was circulating. When the not so truthful Elvis movie came out, I’m sure she gained more attention and I’m sure that’s one big reason Billy wasn’t a talking part in the movie, he would definitely set things straight. She knows damn well that the minute the Smith family has the mic, her limelight would be more than over shadowed. Picture this….. right now she’s writing the story her own way, no proof readers or editors. If she was to give once ounce of any credit to the Smith’s, they would endanger what she has going for her. If she has the Smith’s proof reading and editing her every word, not much of her story would be published.
She's benefitted by using the Presley name..in her divorce papers she was not supposed to use the name..Elvis dies and she starts using the Presley name...people forget he almost lost Graceland because of her and her asking for two million after the original divorce agreement...then once he died she puts a lien against Graceland...then collects 900k a year from the estate to sit on the board and be the face of Graceland...now she wants to be buried at Graceland...I hope EPE Enterprises blocks this
I completely agree with you. If I thought someone treated me as horribly as she says she was treated, I surely would not want to keep their last name but of course she did it for connections and fame.
But it is already settled. When she sued Lisa's will, one of the things she wanted was to be buried there and Riley allowed it. can you imagine Elvis going to see the meditation gardens and have to see her name there. We are not happy to say the least. They need to do a reversal on that decision. We Elvis fans do not want her near his grave. She married him know exactly what she was getting herself into and then she left him, couldn't even say she still loved him when asked, but after his death, she takes back his name which he did not want and suddenly she is crying her fake tears telling us how he was the love of his life. Well he wasn't and newsflash Prissy, you weren't the love of his life.
I watched it too. OMG in the movie she’s a saint and never raises her voice. As we know she’s not a saint. How stupid of her to think that people are interested in her. She’s a curiosity not an interesting person. I too noticed how tall the Elvis character was.
I heard that Lisa said to the movies director " Don't make me go public and denounce this movie" Because It portrayed Elvis in a bad light. I don't know what would make these people think that making Elvis and me into another movie would go over well, the TV version back in the 80s bombed and even her book, when it came out sold well at first, but when the reviews came all of a sudden it went from selling decently to not selling anywhere near the numbers they were expecting😮. And EPE said no to Elvis music being used in that movie! The point is her book AND the movie were about HER, not about Elvis😊 I guess we were supposed to feel sorry for her? Speaking for myself I do not..
NO, I feel sorry for Elvis and what she put him through,, I feel sorry for her Lisa, and her grandchildren and what she put them thru all of these years and still is continuing to make Riley's life difficult. It was obvious and stated by her friends that she did not want to sit next to her own mother at the Globe Awards.....tells a lot.
He was only 10 years older. Lots of couples have big age differences. There's all kinds of wealthy famous men who are married to women younger than their children.
I saw both the Priscilla movie and the Elvis movie. I saw both in the theater. I really liked the Elvis movie and felt it did Elvis proud!!! However, the Priscilla movie, IMO was simply awful. First, like you said, it looked very low production. Very dark in lighting, and it matched the mood. It made Priscilla look like a teenage victim and 'child bride" when in fact, Priscilla was hardly an innocent. She manipulated and plotted, even as a teenager, to worm her way into his life. It painted Elvis as . . . .very one-sided and put him in a bad light when he isn't here to defend himself. Like you said, it was badly done, but even worse - it was boring, and I could hardly sit through it. From what I understand, Lisa Marie was not happy about it.
There wasn't any Elvis music because EPE refused to let Pricilla use it in the movie! I think Joel(majority owener of EPE) being a friend to Lisa,knew how Lisa would feel about the movie! Good for him, he was a good friend to Lisa and I feel he'll bea good caretaker of Elvis Legacy!❤❤
I haven’t read all the comments on this thread so I may be repeating what others have written. It was on both Yahoo & Google that EPE & Sony Music denied the request for the rights to use any of Elvis’ music. The written communication from Lisa to Sophia Coppola was printed online for the public to read. That is evidence, not hearsay. This film is a slap in the face to Elvis. My personal opinion of her film was to bring back the focus of the eyes of the public onto Priscilla, after the success of the Luhrman Elvis film. She craves public adulation & acceptance. I did notice that she was excluded from the two annual Fan Events sponsored by Graceland (the 2023 Candlelight Vigil & 2024 Elvis Birthday Celebration). Seems she’s no longer the representative for the estate. (PS Your makeup today was beautiful)
Thank you for your opinion. Praying for you and your family for healing. True Elvis fans love Elvis, no matter what. You are family, and so sorry you all have to see some of the nonsense. Elvis is loved by many and we love him no matter what they put out. He will always have a special place in my heart. May he rest in peace. God bless and get well. 🙏
I couldn't have said it better, Danielle. I watched that movie over the weekend. Years ago I read her book and I think it was based on that, but I found it odd that they showed her taking karate lessons in the movie, but in her book she it said she had a fling with the karate instructor. So she tried to make out like she was poor pitiful me but... like you said hell no! I also liked the Elvis movie much better. I met a lady back in October while visiting Graceland that used to work there when Lisa Marie was growing up there. She told me a lot of things that the Elvis movie got wrong and things that conflicted with what my tour guide said. Bless her. I want give her name, but she is a sweet, sweet lady. Anyway, I appreciate all you do for us and having a close relationship with your grandparents, as mine and my mother have long since passed.
Priscilla constantly changes history, that's nothing new. I've heard from everyone that it looks very low budget also. As for the visuals, it's ridiculous! They purposely got an actor who's 6'5" and the actress for Priscilla is just under 5' so that he would tower over her, and make her look like a young innocent victim. Also in some of the stills I've seen and the trailer, she looks like a child - Priscilla never looked like that, and Elvis was not a giant next to her. It's infuriating.
It was a sad attempt to be front and centre yet again…via historical fiction….prissy has never shed a tear for Elvis, LM & her only grandson Ben!!! She’s selfish and immature despite being almost 80! Jealous of Elvis and desperate for her own fame….but she’s nothing without the Presley name….that’s why she took the name back after Elvis died…. She was Beauleau (?) after the divorce and is not his widow!!! Imo she’s as cold as they come!!
Elvis was not the marrying kind, he should have never been married but at the same time, Pricilla knew what she was getting into but thought she could change him.
Prescilla and Elvis seemed really happy at first and when Lisa was born it lite up their world Elvis loved Lisa more than anything and he showed it I think Prescilla was jealous over the attention Elvis gave Lisa and when she left him and her taking Lisa she knew that'd kill him Lisa was his world Lisa Marie stated before her death she did not want Prescilla to make the movie and try to make Elvis look bad Cillas a joke 😅
Oh how I agree with you, Danielle. I didn't care for most of the Elvis movie either. It was like the Priscilla and Jerry Schilling show. If one of the MM was included, then all should have been, including Billy and Marty Lacker. I also felt that Linda should have been included. She was a large part of Elvis' life for at least four years.
I have no desire to even see this movie but I appreciate your review. Over the years, I've seen so many movies and documentaries and read so many books about Elvis, all from different perspectives, and this movie is probably just more of the same (even though it's titled Priscilla). I know Priscilla lived at Graceland for several years before they married and I always wonder, if life there was so bad, why did she go on to marry Elvis? At any rate, I love watching all the Smith family's videos because they seem like the most down-to-earth and true-to-life about Elvis. He was the most gorgeous, talented superstar entertainer ever and I've been a fan all my life and always will be. But I'd just like to add that, between Billy and Elvis, I think Billy got the prettiest girl. Then and now.
@cherylspencer8024 Now that you mention it, I think I remember seeing that. Doesn't seem like much of a reason to stay with someone, if you're not happy. She probably didn't want to give up the fame and fortune.
We don't buy her pitiful me story. Her daddy got paid well for her to move here to Memphis. I don't believe Elvis was abusive. Because she only famous because of Elvis. She is just self centered.
Prizilla has always played the victim card....it's enough now. She's a lies though teeth. I haven't watched the movie...I won't waste my money on watching this crap.
I agree that this movie is terrible and misrepresents so many facts. Priscilla latched on to Elvis to obtain fame through him. She admitted to wanting an acting career and what better way to get that but to use Elvis. She was no innocent person during their whole relationship. As you stated, she was 17 years old when she finally met up with Elvis at Graceland, with her parents permission!! They both had affairs on each other so she is not a victim. This movie was frustrating on so many levels. The name "Priscilla" would not have been known without Elvis so she got what she wanted in the end. Anywho, I agree with everything you said on your review!! Particularly how she has treated the Smith side of the family. Terrible movie!!!
I watched it on Valentine’s Day. I dozed on it partly way through it. There was a lot of misinformation. It seemed like everything took place at Graceland. Names were changed which seemed odd. It had a weird vibe.
I don’t think that ELVIS Presley would be so happy that his EX wife threw all his PERSONAL STUFF into the world, whether it’s true or NOT. I always thought he was very PRIVATE. His IMAGE was everything to him and certain things should be left PRIVATE, PERIOD. I was very sad for ELVIS Presley, about the way she portrayed him in this movie. FORGET this movie and remember ELVIS Presley for his great TALENT, his beautiful VOICE, his KINDNESS to his fans and his LOVE for his family, the family that always stood by him and NEVER disrespected him or talked BAD about him, while he was alive or after his death.
I saw the Priscilla movie with my daughter who isnot an Elvis fan. I thought the movie was terrible. My daughter whos knowlege of Elvis is small,turned to me at the end and said knowing my love of Elvis this makes him look bad. Priscilla definately has not gained any respect. ❤️🇦🇺
It just confirms my thought that Priscilla had a deep seated resentment, I feel she felt her star was going to rise along with his. She didn't want to be a stay at home Mother. Let's face it Elvis didn't want to marry she knows it too . The movie is her brand "Priscilla" and put together to pull her out of insolvency, it's a total fluff piece! Coppola is a feminist. Priscilla wanted fame and thought Elvis would promote her, instead she became a Mother so it makes me think she used him to get fame but it didn't play out but boy is she making up ground. She's not blood Presley.
all though i’m sure sometimes were hard being with the most famous person in the world at the time, i don’t feel bad. she knew how sought after he was, all the women he surrounded himself with, his hectic lifestyle when he was working etc. and she still wanted to be with him. she chose that life knowing who and how he was. if she wanted a normal life with a normal person who came home every night after 5pm she would’ve dated anybody else, but she didnt. and i used to like her, id ignore the bad press/what people said about her because she “seems so sweet” until lisa passed and she showed her true colors. suing elvis after their original divorce settlement & her granddaughter, constantly being seen in the media smiling having a grand old time after lisa passed promoting her new skincare line like nothing happened, how much she lies & changes her story. it just doesn’t right with me.
Priscilla needs to disappear out of the picture..... nobody agrees for her to be buried at Graceland so she just needs to give up and go into seclusion coz nobody cares what's she's doing in life
I am right there with you, Danielle, Priscilla was honestly one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I didn't really expect to like it but I actually hated it. The actors were not believable, especially the actor who played Elvis. And to leave out everything that Priscilla did to help cause the demise of their marriage is to me just hypocritical. And what even was that ending? And if Priscilla didn't like the way she was being treated she absolutely could have gone back home to her parents.And you're absolutely right nobody takes it into consideration that although Priscilla was 14 when they met, she didn't move into Graceland until she was 17 and she was 21 when they married.
If she had gone home, she and her parents who were her partners in crime setting a trap for Elvis in Germany, wouldn't have benefitted from all his money and fame. She wanted HIS money and name and the attention she so desperately craved being his wife. That is why she never remarried because she knew without the Presley she couldn't get the attention she craved and she would be a nobody, which in my opinion she is.
Hi Danielle .....I agree with all that you have said about the Priscilla movie!! I can say more but I will refrain ! Hope you have a great week and continue to improve, you definitely sound better ! 🙏🙏. My love to your grandparents and hope that Popaw continues to improve! God bless and love ya all Charlie
I will never understand the need for this movie to be made. Priscilla saying her story has never been told isn’t true. In 1988 her autobiography was made into a tv miniseries called, “Elvis & Me”. She and Jerry Schilling gave their input on the project. Back then she had the ability to use his name and his music unlike now. Notice the new one is called Priscilla not Priscilla & Elvis. There is a get video on TH-cam explaining why she lost her rights to everything. Should be easy to google.
Hi Danielle, I am so happy you and Mr. Billy are doing better. I can see the resemblance of the Smith side in you, you look lovely tonight. I wish your family would make a movie about thier life with Elvis. Sending love and prayers ❤❤❤ Grace and Alain from Canada
Thank you Danielle. You look so beautiful today! 👍🌹 Yes, if I’d a fact that Lisa wrote emails to Coppola slamming the project. These emails were leaked to variety Magazine and verified as hers. September 2023 article. She sent those late in 2022. Priscilla always plays this drama queen victim in all her interviews as well as her book and movie. All you gotta do is watch the home movies and she’s always laughing and cutting up. She just needs to desperately get sympathy at Elvis’ expense. Pity me. Pity pity me. That’s how she always portrays her life with Elvis in all interviews after Elvis passed. While Elvis was still here….When she interviewed on many many magazines like Ladies Home Journal in 1973 she painted a different story of her life with Elvis as well as Photoplay 1973. Lisa slammed Sofia Coppola’ about this movie and asked Coppola to not do it as she would have to publicly go against Priscilla (her mom) and their relationship was already too fragile. Those emails were leaked to Variety in September 2023. Lisa was livid! Priscilla went ahead with it in spite of Lisa’s wishes soon after her death. I won’t mention the name of author of a very credible book that tells her true story from birth, Germany, etc. Priscilla tried to stop it from publishing but couldn’t. Court ruled in favor of the book. It’s sad that she doesn’t like anybody writing negatively about her and true to stop them but she has done that about Elvis for almost 50 years. I dislike the way she fussed Billy and Jo and who know what lies she told Lisa that she turned from them as well. Prayers for Billy. We love him. We appreciate and cherish him. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
I saw it last night on MAX and tried to have an open mind. It was boring and both lead characters were dull and blah. I had to raise the volume all the way because the voices were so low. Lots of shots of her walking through halls looking bored and robotic. Like they were trying to be artsy and it was just so shallow and awkward. Elvis was one portrayed negatively and one dimensional. Can’t believe this was a real movie that actually made it to theaters.
Sonny West and Red West and Dave Helber, Red West was with Elvis from the beginning at High school and Priscilla forgets that other Elvis Presley fans Know Other people that knew Elvis Presley personally and I am one of those people who who is and will always and forever and a Day be A Elvis Presley Fan. And Yes I have meet your Grandpa when Graceland first opened and He was Very Polite and Graceful of talking to me about Elvis.
Just my opinion she was/is jealous of the fact that Elvis loved his family and the Memphis Mafia who became his family. She was not able to separate him from his family. Tots agree she wants that pitty...again just my opinion.
unfortunately, she separated Lisa from Elvis's family after he died. She made her life miserable, removing her from the life she was used to and familiar with, her cousins that she played with etc. She put her in Scientology school which Lisa said took years to get over. Which Priscilla is still a part of.
Thank you Danielle for the video. Yes I remember those working days, how fast the weekend goes. Now the movie If the Elvis movie was better! I can imagine how Horrible the Priscilla movie must be and we have no desire to watch it! I would not waste my time or energy. It's so amazing how Priscilla forgot all about the relationship she had with your Grandma and felt excluded from everyone, I just can't understand why Priscilla didn't open the door and went back where she came from and didn't let the door hit her in the back side! If she was sooo Unhappy! I guess $$$$$$$ One can tolerate anything! Glad you are feeling better Danielle, Have a great week at work.❤ Arrivederci!
GOD BLESS ALL OF YOUR FAMILY, YOURE DOING A GREAT JOB, I DON’T CARE FOR THOSE FAULTS MOVIES OF HERS. ELVIS LIVES FOREVER IN MY HEART. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS ♥️
I will not watch it. Not interested in a movie bashing Elvis. Have heard it’s low budget,boring,and paints Elvis as a horrible,manipulative, and abusive man. Priscilla has a history of Lying and changing her stories for decades. I believe it was the exact opposite and Priscilla was the horrible one. She comes off as absolutely hating Elvis and constantly seeking revenge. I think she was extremely jealous of both Elvis and Lisa Marie. She is nothing more than a psycho Narcissist that demands to be the center of attention anyway she can. The real truth needs to come out about her. She has used Lawsuits and Non Disclosure Agreements and threats to keep people from telling the truth. Don’t you think it is odd that out of probably 100’s of girlfriends in his Lifetime not one accuses Elvis of what she does. That speaks volumes right there. Great job Danielle. Not many people left to tell the real truth. So happy that Billy and Jo tell what really happened. I thank God for them. ❤
You are so right Danielle!! The way your grandparents were treated(not treated) was terrible. Elvis would have been livid !! Priscilla sent Lisa away to boarding school and had her in the brainwashing scientology group...she could have been close to you and the rest of your family all those years. That's just a shame...Take care...You do a great job!!!
He was a womanizer. Everyone knows that. I'm so sick of her playing the victim. They were only married, 7 years? It's been years since Elvis has passed. She needs to stop! Billy and Jo were so close to Elvis. I do not want to see another Elvis movie 23:17
You know what Priscilla has always benefited from the Elvis life. How much more can you talk about it. The good times are gone. Billy and Jo you stick to the true story. Danielle you watch out for them.Thanks for this.
Love the eye look today ❤😊 my suspicion based on how choppy the movie was is that there were way more scenes planned and last minute they skipped them in editing or didn’t film them at all because of legal issues or budget constraints . It just felt like an incomplete movie . It ended in theaters and I thought I fell asleep or something because it didn’t feel complete . When I re-watched it , I was baffled that it was a professional movie and how boring it was . The made for tv movie was way better .
I didn't even make it through the movie... You did better than me! The director flat out stated she wasn't making this movie for Elvis fans... so she didn't care what we thought... well... I bet she regrets that now because our thoughts equal dollars and from what I heard this film FLOPPED. Priscilla is no victim. She put her claws in, latched on and didn't let go until she was certain she'd be set for life... There is a clip of Lisa Marie talking about the Memphis Mafia and how they tried to steal Elvis' dignity (by writing books) and she hopes they go to or rot in hell or something like that... meanwhile her own mother lead the charge with her tasteless tell-all, taking away her father's dignity for sure! And you're right--Elvis isn't here to defend himself... for him the "hits" just keep coming... literally... hopefully Priscilla's tale sinks into silence where it belongs and we never have to see another remake of this "love story" ever again. It's pretty sad that I like other Elvis girlfriends/flings more so than I like his actual wife... I don't hate her... I just hate the narrative she keeps pumping out that the masses just keep eating up... and it's true--if you don't fit her narrative, she writes you out of the story...
Well if you don't agree with her and that she was innocent and a victim, you are right, you are not a part of her life. In the Elvis film, she had say on whether it would be released. of course after all her input and her making herself out to the victim and only portraying her in a good light, she loved it. How can you make a movie about Elvis and not include his friends and family that were his life. She knew she couldn't bc they would have told the truth and called her out and that would not have been tolerated.
The Priscilla movie was the most depressing movie I ever watched. Thank god Lisa Marie wasn't around to see it, just another way for her mother to break her heart. Priscilla made it seem like she didn't have an enjoyable life with Elvis, ever, she's constantly the victim in her own mind. I'm so happy Riley fought her to get her hands out of Graceland and I'm so happy EPE refused Sofia Coppola any and all music to that movie, they wouldn't even negotiate, it was a flat out NO. I can't wait for Riley to publish Lisa Marie memoir, she said Lisa Marie had been working on her memoir for 3-4yrs and that she owed it to her mother, LMP, to have it published.
Boring is the word, I suffered through the movie, I don't know why they even bothered to make such a lousy movie! I agree, Priscilla was not an innocent victim!
Still awaiting this Movie in the Uk…. Sounds like i will not bother watching Elvis’ EX wife. We must stop giving this EX wife a stage to play out on… It’s time Pricilla built bridges with the Smith family we are ALL bored of her lies and odd ways. The Smiths hold the truth… God bless their authenticity and honesty ✨
I heard that EPE did not give them permission to use Elvis music. I too hated the Elvis movie. It made him appear sooo depressed. I thought Austin did a great job but I’m shocked Lisa thought this was the best depiction of Elvis. There was nothing fun loving about how they protrayed him. Just my unsolicited opinion here but you look like young Gladys especially the eyes ❤❤
That movie was from the Colonel point of view and about the controversial relationship they had during his career. It was stressful sometimes for Elvis and maybe this is the reason why most of his personality was left out. A shame but I think it's just because of the kind of narration they chose. That movie is not perfect but entertaining and visually stunning. From what I've read, this one is only boring 😂
The song I will always Love you came out after Elvis Presley passed away so no Elvis never sang that song for Priscilla. That never ever Happened either.
😅Priscilla would have never got the attention and money if not for Elvis!She had to know how he was she was 21!Not a baby. I know it had to be hard to live in a goldfish bowl!Think she wanted in spotlight too!Why if he was so mean to her does she want to be buried at graceland? When is she going to make a movie about her son's Dad. She was with him a lot longer than Elvis!She made a lot of money off of Elvis name. At least tell the truth about it. Wish Billy Jo would make movie or something to show how it really was❤❤❤❤
Great video! Honestly I really have no desire to even see this movie and I wasn't impressed at the previews. Elvis was a damn good man and had gave and gave and that is how I want to remember him.
How many times can this woman tell the same old, tired story for profit? She simply changes it to fit her agenda. Funny she chose to release it only after Lisa died too.
Priscilla has been trying to rewrite Elvis history and she just Will Never Do It!! At least not to us Elvis fans that were here during his career and his untimely death!! We all know Lisa was at Graceland when her daddy passed away!! That’s the newest lie from Priscilla!!!!!!
Right? I saw that, can you remember what interview she said that on, where she said that Lisa was at her house when he died, which we all know she was at Graceland and Ginger escorted of out of Elvis's bedroom when she came in the room. We all know she was at Graceland. At this time school had been out but she it was about time to go back to Priscilla's to go back to school. Such a right out obvious lie.
@@Barbara-lb5yt I think it was her Pierce Morgan? I’m not sure that’s his name though but that’s where she said it…she also says she’s never told that story. I wonder why? Bc Lisa was still alive and could debunk it!!
@@Sharon-Carrell She Can't but people like you and me can. To sit there and tell a whole story that she knows is a lie, is very bold of her. Yes I believe it was Piers, he berates Megan Markle as he should, but sits there and calls Prissy royalty (which she loved) and gave her softball questions and didnt call her out on a lie that everyone knows about.and he calls himself a journalist.
Elvis was so mean and arrogant and now she says he's the love of her life. I have never seen a more false liar than this "dear widow". I hope Riley doesn't let her go back to Graceland.
I just got through watching the movie for free because I knew I wasn’t going to pay to watch that, and it is exactly as I figured, just like Danielle said. I was 18 when Elvis died I grew up, listening to Elvis, watching all of his movies reading everything I could, I am now 65. I may not know as much as some people do about Elvis, nor do I claim to, but I do know a little bit
I always found it sketchy how Priscilla kept telling the story of Elvis throwing a ball at his Grandma and that‘s why he called her Dodger because it never made sense to me. Elvis was super respectful to elders and knew about honor and decency and respect and I always found it weird because Elvis is not thy type of person to throw a ball at his grandmother or any other elderly person, Elvis was super respectful and honored his elders and that‘s something he would never do and thank you Danielle for finally telling the truth and clearing that up🤍 I always wondered about this story and I am glad that we finally get the truth from you and your beautiful family, god bless you all🙏🏻🌹
I would never pay to see this as I have had enough of Pricilla. From her suing her grandchildren and contesting Lisa’s will and shaking the grandchildren down for a million dollars. And it was also well none that this movie was a big source of contention between Lisa and Pricilla as Lisa was furious over this movie. So now we are expecting to believe Pricilla’s movie. ABSOLUTELY NOT! Pricilla has worn her welcome in the Elvis community. And then the rumors of the just only friends relationship with Jerry Schilling. These two need the Elvis world to feel important. Finally I cannot believe that Elvis would want Pricilla buried at Graceland much less next to him and his family. She has a constant thirst for attention one would assume.
I wouldn’t waste my time watching anything prissy has put out or read a book she wrote. She’s full of lies and us Elvis fans will never stop loving him.
This was excellent Danielle! Thank you for all your hard work. I did not watch the Elvis movie or Priscilla movie. I enjoy listening to you and Billy & Jo a lot better.
Hello Danielle, glad you are feeling better. I've been praying for Billy to get well and for Jo to stay strong. I had read that Elvis had stayed faithful to Priscilla after they married. She stepped out on him after having Lisa Marie and When Elvis found out he went and started stepping out on her. I haven't seen either movies movies and I have no intention on watching them. The whole thing is very upsetting with Priscilla. And I agree she just needs to go away StayWell Danielle you're beautiful. Love and prayers to all of you❤️🙏⚡️🎶
Short answer? Priscilla is FAKE! She’s just not a good person. Why else would her own daughter distance herself from her? Priscilla is about one thing, herself! I don’t believe a word she says! I’ve seen too many contradictory interviews from this woman. She makes me ill. Isn’t just a little funny that “Elvis” came out and all of a sudden we have “Priscilla” had to be made? We all know that she begged to come here and begged Elvis for his “attentions” and he refused. She’s said as much!
This movie is a total joke 😂😂😂 a waste of time and money for every person who took part in it and for every single person who waste 2 hours of his life to watch this 🗑️. Let's hope this is her last move to exploit Elvis.
I think personally that Priscilla was so jealous over the bond that Elvis and Billy had that’s why I think she just doesn’t put them involved in anything. She was just a jealous person when it come to Billy and his friends and even Billy‘s wife Joe, I think she was just jealous. They knew Elvis way longer than she ever did, they know way more about Elvis than she ever will or did and it’s a shame that she doesn’t put them in the movies when they are especially Billy big part of Elvis life. Elvis wanted Billy there with him all the time it’s just a shame.
I am just amazed that EX- WIFE ( she is not Elvis widow ), continues trying to live of Elvis fame. She realizes as long people talking about ELVIS why not ride than train. Pitiful...
As an outsider looking in, I began to read every book and watch every interview pertaining to Elvis many years ago. I wanted the perspective of those who were closest to Elvis.
In doing so, I began to see Elvis in a different light, more so as a human and not so much Elvis, the entertainer. Although I now know that there has been a lot of gaslighting, I see it, and I have read it. And with all of that being said, every book and every interview I watched, everyone was consistent with the fact that Elvis was a humble man, he loved his fans , his mother, his family , and little lisa . Also consistent was the fact that Elvis was really no different than you and I , and if you cut him, he really would bleed just like you and I.
I read Priscilla presley's book, " Elvis and Me" I watched the movie, I watched " Priscilla, " and it saddens me to see Priscilla rewriting history for the newer generation , and Elvis, the humble, loving , generous man has been lost in all of this, he's been painted in a different light painted far from the loving, kind, happy, humble man that he truly was. Elvis was silenced on August 16th, 1977, when God called him home . He's not here to defend himself he can't set history straight his voice is silenced, but still yet Priscilla continues to gaslight the world, her book and movie " Elvis and Me " and her movie " Priscilla " has so many inconsistencies you can literally compare the untruths and gaslighting by simply watching both movies...but most won't do that , the newer generation doesn't even know about Priscilla's movie " Elvis and Me". So Evis will go down in history as a sad , drug addicted man who appeared to be so unhappy because Priscilla divorced him . For someone who really loved Elvis as she claims, why would she portray Elvis in such a negative way? I hope and pray that those who really did love Elvis will stand up for him, be his voice , and stop the gaslighting. Don't let history portray Elvis in a negative light it's time the world learns who Priscilla really is. Don't let her lies be her truths stop letting her silence the truth because Elvis was so much more than just him and Priscilla . All the money in the world or earthly possessions wouldn't stop me from defending my loved ones. Especially those who can no longer defend themselves.
Did you mean Elvis and me book ? What you wrote is very respectful to all concerned and I agree with all you said 😊
@marycorner4809 Yes, my bad Elvis and Me. Thank you for correcting my mistake
Very Well Said! ❤❤❤
I hope everyone listens to this and passes it along. Elvis was no druggie. th-cam.com/video/8hrz3XOQS3I/w-d-xo.html
Totally agree totally incorrect she so self centered at least tell truths and not blacken his name all the smiths family side been blocked out too true Elvis fans will stick by Elvis no matter what
Lisa did tell Coppola to stop. She sent her e-mails and threatened to go public against her, her mother, and the film publicly. It's in my comment below.
Danielle,
As a huge Fan of Elvis. I have no desire to see a movie that tarnishs him, in a negative light He was the greatest humanitian, the man that gave us the greatest gift of song and inspiration. I will always be a believer that he made other people's lives better. I will forever love Elvis.❤❤❤❤
Danielle. 👋👋👋
The reason why no Elvis songs were played in the movie was because EPE did not allow it. They put out a stern statement where they stated that they had nothing to do with the movie and they had not consented to it. They also made it clear that none of it was filmed at Graceland. They were very upset especially Joel Weinshsnket who was very close to and fond of Lisa. They weren’t even aware that Priscilla had gone ahead with it so soon after Lisa had passed. They were upset. Sofia Coppola’ requested permission but EPE refused so no participation from EPE, no location allowed and no Elvis’ singing or songs played because EPE refused. They did state that they did not endorse the movie.
You can find their official statement on line. 🤞
GRAZIE!
I thought the 1988 miniseries Elvis & Me was a world better. The whole thing came across as an attack on Elvis, so I definitely understand why Lisa Marie was so upset about it. I read that she emailed the director twice asking her not to release an inaccurate film that would hurt her father's legacy. Priscilla should be ashamed of herself.
I saw the movie the thing that bothered me is that Elvis is not here to defend himself and also the effect on there daughter Lisa Marie.
Hi Danielle ♥
For some reason prissy wants to cut your family out. I think its because they know the truth.
She wants us all to think poor prissy, all alone in that big house.
The evidence is out there about lisa Marie wanting to stop the movie from going ahead.
Danielle ❤ you are doing a great job and everyone is proud of you especially your nanny and your poppa.
Thank you Danielle ♥
Xxx 💝 🤗
I'm glad they weren't allowed to use Elvis's music
Of course Priscilla hates your grandparents, Danielle. They know the truth and the truth is something that Priscilla does not want known.
She lies to try and make herself look better than she is and to make her more money. She is nothing but an EX WIFE but wants people to
believe she is Elvis' widow. If she gets buried at Graceland I will be fit to be tied! She does not belong there nor does she have
the right to even associate her name with Elvis since she divorced Elvis to be with Stone and then more men than I can count after that.
Her selfishness and greed is apparent in her keeping the Presley name and thinking more about $$money$$ than giving her son a legal father and name.
Elvis has been a part of my life for 68 years and I can't imagine a day without hearing his beautiful voice.
I can't thank you and your grandparents enough for what you do in keeping the good memories of Elvis alive.
19-20
Graceland didn't want any of his music played. Permission denied. I wonder if it was because Lisa didn't want this movie made...🤔
Lisa sent e-mails to Sophia Coppola. She called the script "shockingly vengeful, and contemptuous," as well as bringing scrutiny on Elvis's living grandchildren as they continue to grieve the loss of Lisa's son Benjamin. She said "my father only comes across as a predator and manipulator. As his daughter I don't read this and see any of this character in my father. I don't read and see any of my mother's perspective of my father. I read this and see your shockingly vengeful and contemptuous perspective and I don't understand why? I will be forced to be in a position where I will openly have to say how I feel about the film and go against you, my mother, and this film publicly." Lisa sent the e-mails in Sept. 2022. The LA Times said that the e-mail exchange did take place between Coppola and Lisa Marie. I'm glad that Lisa had a chance to speak up about this movie before she died. She didn't approve Agent Elvis neither. What mother does this to her daughter and grandchildren? Priscilla is all about herself, and could care less about Elvis's legacy, his family, and his fans.
Ditto @norway. I mentioned it in my comment. Thank uou for quoting it verbatim. I think this is an article that Billy and Jo should definitely read. Variety Magazine , September 2023. It’s on one.
EXACTLY👏🏽 Beauleiu has/had zero respect for Lisa-Marie, but puts that strange son of hers on a pedestal.. lm glad Lisa got to speak up about it also, & would have taken action, as if she needed this..
Well said !!! Everybody who saw the Priscilla Movie of Lies should read it twice!!!
A money grubber that's who! 😫
in this world only one Elvis why Elvis fan just like Elvis thankyou long live Elvis forever
Maybe Lisa Marie talked about this movie in her notes for her book that Riley is compiling! Then we'll know.
Oooohhh....good point! ❤
@@01racegirl No way will we get to see the book the way Lisa wrote it. Priscilla and Riley will change whatever they want.
That “Priscilla” movie pissed me off. She had no problem living off his money & his name her whole damn pathetic life but now that she’s got one foot in the grave she wants to destroy his legacy and make it about her. I can’t stand that woman. Look at her Wikipedia page, there’s a link there on the side of the page, (I think it may be under media or other reading) anyway there’s an article there from Women’s Day magazine. In the article the journalist is going to interview Priscilla after the divorce and she notes that her condo buzzer is now listed under “Priscilla Beaulieu.” She went back to Presley to get her foot in the door in Hollywood, she knew she was NOTHING without that golden Presley name. The fact that she enrolled Lisa Marie into Scientology after Elvis’s death is disrespectful and disgraceful. After Ben’s suicide many of his friends made a video on TH-cam and stated that Scientology really did a number on his mind. It only stayed up for a couple days, I wonder why. Poor Lisa, reading the script to that movie must have been heartbreaking. I hope Riley gives Priscilla what she wants and buries her at Graceland, in the BARN. Just thinking about that movie and her motives gets me hot. 🥵
Lisa hated that this movie was being made . She told Priscilla she was making her dad look like a monster and she knew he was not like that . Lisa would not back this movie. May be the why to not using Elvis's music .
Comment of the day “in the barn “ 😂 I’m dying laughing ❤
Priscilla doesn't even deserve to be in the barn in my opinion. She's trying to make it like she was still married to him . She gave up that right . She was paid handsomely for it too, All she did was fight with Elvis over Lisa Marie . I'm proud of the loving mother Lisa Marie turned out to be . I'm glad she had her daddy around as long as she did . She learned unconditional love from Elvis . Fly high beautiful Angels 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
@@VegasVixen That was a good one and funny, however the barn is too good for her. I personally don't want her anywhere near Graceland, Mike Stone and her should make plans on being buried next to one another. That would be perfect.
@@sallyjb6209 Yeah, I don't remember the exact reason, we just knew that he didn't want her to use his name after the divorce. Not drawing attention probably wouldn't have helped in that sense, bc Lisa was a Presley and used that name. She was the most famous child.
Coppola purposely chose a girl the size of a pre-schooler to play Beaulieu and a 7 ft giant to play Elvis to accentuate the age difference in a visual way, too. The huge height difference subliminally makes people think "what is that adult doing with that child?" Very cheap methods. In real life, Elvis was 5'11" in bare feet and Beaulieu 5'2".
Also: look at how the actress who portrayed Beaulieu looked in the movie at age 14 and how Beaulieu REALLY looked at that age: she looked significantly older than her age, everybody thought so.
Teenager Priscilla dressed, with the help of her mother, as if she was in her twenties. Her massive hairdo's also made her look much older.
Hi Danielle, great video today! I would love to see the photos that your grandparents have from that time of their lives. I have seen a few here and there and your nanny Jo was and is a knock out! Continued prayers for Billy and Jo. Love ya’ll ❤️🙏
EPE refused to allow Elvis' music to be used. 😂
EPE Joel Weinstein refused to let Elvis music in the Priscilla movie
My opinion of why she never mentions Billy and Jo is because she knows they tell the TRUTH and if she dares mention them, especially in a bad light, they’ll tell the truth and if it was me I’d do it LOUDLY. Billy is the only one alive that can dispute her stories and I think she’s afraid of what he will say.
💯 on point here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is exactly why she won’t mention anything to do with the Smith’s.
I was going to mention the same thing to Billy & Jo last year when we talked about the times she spent with Pasty and Pricilla. This was when the talk of Pricilla’s was circulating.
When the not so truthful Elvis movie came out, I’m sure she gained more attention and I’m sure that’s one big reason Billy wasn’t a talking part in the movie, he would definitely set things straight.
She knows damn well that the minute the Smith family has the mic, her limelight would be more than over shadowed.
Picture this….. right now she’s writing the story her own way, no proof readers or editors. If she was to give once ounce of any credit to the Smith’s, they would endanger what she has going for her.
If she has the Smith’s proof reading and editing her every word, not much of her story would be published.
She's benefitted by using the Presley name..in her divorce papers she was not supposed to use the name..Elvis dies and she starts using the Presley name...people forget he almost lost Graceland because of her and her asking for two million after the original divorce agreement...then once he died she puts a lien against Graceland...then collects 900k a year from the estate to sit on the board and be the face of Graceland...now she wants to be buried at Graceland...I hope EPE Enterprises blocks this
I completely agree with you. If I thought someone treated me as horribly as she says she was treated, I surely would not want to keep their last name but of course she did it for connections and fame.
But it is already settled. When she sued Lisa's will, one of the things she wanted was to be buried there and Riley allowed it. can you imagine Elvis going to see the meditation gardens and have to see her name there. We are not happy to say the least. They need to do a reversal on that decision. We Elvis fans do not want her near his grave. She married him know exactly what she was getting herself into and then she left him, couldn't even say she still loved him when asked, but after his death, she takes back his name which he did not want and suddenly she is crying her fake tears telling us how he was the love of his life. Well he wasn't and newsflash Prissy, you weren't the love of his life.
I watched it too. OMG in the movie she’s a saint and never raises her voice. As we know she’s not a saint. How stupid of her to think that people are interested in her. She’s a curiosity not an interesting person. I too noticed how tall the Elvis character was.
I heard that Lisa said to the movies director " Don't make me go public and denounce this movie" Because It portrayed Elvis in a bad light. I don't know what would make these people think that making Elvis and me into another movie would go over well, the TV version back in the 80s bombed and even her book, when it came out sold well at first, but when the reviews came all of a sudden it went from selling decently to not selling anywhere near the numbers they were expecting😮. And EPE said no to Elvis music being used in that movie! The point is her book AND the movie were about HER, not about Elvis😊 I guess we were supposed to feel sorry for her? Speaking for myself I do not..
NO, I feel sorry for Elvis and what she put him through,, I feel sorry for her Lisa, and her grandchildren and what she put them thru all of these years and still is continuing to make Riley's life difficult. It was obvious and stated by her friends that she did not want to sit next to her own mother at the Globe Awards.....tells a lot.
He was only 10 years older. Lots of couples have big age differences. There's all kinds of wealthy famous men who are married to women younger than their children.
I saw both the Priscilla movie and the Elvis movie. I saw both in the theater. I really liked the Elvis movie and felt it did Elvis proud!!! However, the Priscilla movie, IMO was simply awful. First, like you said, it looked very low production. Very dark in lighting, and it matched the mood. It made Priscilla look like a teenage victim and 'child bride" when in fact, Priscilla was hardly an innocent. She manipulated and plotted, even as a teenager, to worm her way into his life. It painted Elvis as . . . .very one-sided and put him in a bad light when he isn't here to defend himself. Like you said, it was badly done, but even worse - it was boring, and I could hardly sit through it. From what I understand, Lisa Marie was not happy about it.
There wasn't any Elvis music because EPE refused to let Pricilla use it in the movie! I think Joel(majority owener of EPE) being a friend to Lisa,knew how Lisa would feel about the movie! Good for him, he was a good friend to Lisa and I feel he'll bea good caretaker of Elvis Legacy!❤❤
We do know Lisa did not her mom to make the movie.A copy of her letter to Coppola was published in a magazine.
I haven’t read all the comments on this thread so I may be repeating what others have written. It was on both Yahoo & Google that EPE & Sony Music denied the request for the rights to use any of Elvis’ music. The written communication from Lisa to Sophia Coppola was printed online for the public to read. That is evidence, not hearsay.
This film is a slap in the face to Elvis. My personal opinion of her film was to bring back the focus of the eyes of the public onto Priscilla, after the success of the Luhrman Elvis film. She craves public adulation & acceptance.
I did notice that she was excluded from the two annual Fan Events sponsored by Graceland (the 2023 Candlelight Vigil & 2024 Elvis Birthday Celebration). Seems she’s no longer the representative for the estate.
(PS Your makeup today was beautiful)
Lisa sent an email to Sophia Coppola telling her that this was not the Elvis she knew and it has been printed
The truth is the truth, Billy Smith knows everything. He's not going to lie. That this point in his life he's has nothing to lose. Just listen to him.
Amen on that one
Thank you for your opinion. Praying for you and your family for healing. True Elvis fans love Elvis, no matter what. You are family, and so sorry you all have to see some of the nonsense. Elvis is loved by many and we love him no matter what they put out. He will always have a special place in my heart. May he rest in peace. God bless and get well. 🙏
I couldn't have said it better, Danielle. I watched that movie over the weekend. Years ago I read her book and I think it was based on that, but I found it odd that they showed her taking karate lessons in the movie, but in her book she it said she had a fling with the karate instructor. So she tried to make out like she was poor pitiful me but... like you said hell no! I also liked the Elvis movie much better. I met a lady back in October while visiting Graceland that used to work there when Lisa Marie was growing up there. She told me a lot of things that the Elvis movie got wrong and things that conflicted with what my tour guide said. Bless her. I want give her name, but she is a sweet, sweet lady. Anyway, I appreciate all you do for us and having a close relationship with your grandparents, as mine and my mother have long since passed.
Great review Danielle!! Thank you for doing it. I love that my dog isn’t the only one who chooses to bark when I’m doing stuff lol
EPE wouldn’t give permission for them to use Elvis’ music in the movie 😊
Correct, Joel Weinshanker, said they would not agree to give them the music rights. I’m glad he didn’t let them have the music.
The only reason I looked at it was because I have cable. Only made it 1/2 an hour in. I couldn’t suffer through any more.
🤣😂
Priscilla constantly changes history, that's nothing new. I've heard from everyone that it looks very low budget also. As for the visuals, it's ridiculous! They purposely got an actor who's 6'5" and the actress for Priscilla is just under 5' so that he would tower over her, and make her look like a young innocent victim. Also in some of the stills I've seen and the trailer, she looks like a child - Priscilla never looked like that, and Elvis was not a giant next to her. It's infuriating.
It was a sad attempt to be front and centre yet again…via historical fiction….prissy has never shed a tear for Elvis, LM & her only grandson Ben!!! She’s selfish and immature despite being almost 80! Jealous of Elvis and desperate for her own fame….but she’s nothing without the Presley name….that’s why she took the name back after Elvis died…. She was Beauleau (?) after the divorce and is not his widow!!! Imo she’s as cold as they come!!
Elvis was not the marrying kind, he should have never been married but at the same time, Pricilla knew what she was getting into but thought she could change him.
Prescilla and Elvis seemed really happy at first and when Lisa was born it lite up their world Elvis loved Lisa more than anything and he showed it I think Prescilla was jealous over the attention Elvis gave Lisa and when she left him and her taking Lisa she knew that'd kill him Lisa was his world Lisa Marie stated before her death she did not want Prescilla to make the movie and try to make Elvis look bad Cillas a joke 😅
Oh how I agree with you, Danielle. I didn't care for most of the Elvis movie either. It was like the Priscilla and Jerry Schilling show. If one of the MM was included, then all should have been, including Billy and Marty Lacker. I also felt that Linda should have been included. She was a large part of Elvis' life for at least four years.
Ever since the Elvis and Me book came out, I've always thought, I wish we could know Elvis' side of it.
Thankyou so much for protecting your family and Elvis
I have no desire to even see this movie but I appreciate your review. Over the years, I've seen so many movies and documentaries and read so many books about Elvis, all from different perspectives, and this movie is probably just more of the same (even though it's titled Priscilla). I know Priscilla lived at Graceland for several years before they married and I always wonder, if life there was so bad, why did she go on to marry Elvis? At any rate, I love watching all the Smith family's videos because they seem like the most down-to-earth and true-to-life about Elvis. He was the most gorgeous, talented superstar entertainer ever and I've been a fan all my life and always will be. But I'd just like to add that, between Billy and Elvis, I think Billy got the prettiest girl. Then and now.
Well said 👏👏👏
@cherylspencer8024 Now that you mention it, I think I remember seeing that. Doesn't seem like much of a reason to stay with someone, if you're not happy. She probably didn't want to give up the fame and fortune.
We don't buy her pitiful me story. Her daddy got paid well for her to move here to Memphis. I don't believe Elvis was abusive. Because she only famous because of Elvis. She is just self centered.
I doubt that her daddy got paid. She was almost 18, so he could not say no.
Prizilla has always played the victim card....it's enough now. She's a lies though teeth. I haven't watched the movie...I won't waste my money on watching this crap.
I agree that this movie is terrible and misrepresents so many facts. Priscilla latched on to Elvis to obtain fame through him. She admitted to wanting an acting career and what better way to get that but to use Elvis. She was no innocent person during their whole relationship. As you stated, she was 17 years old when she finally met up with Elvis at Graceland, with her parents permission!! They both had affairs on each other so she is not a victim. This movie was frustrating on so many levels. The name "Priscilla" would not have been known without Elvis so she got what she wanted in the end. Anywho, I agree with everything you said on your review!! Particularly how she has treated the Smith side of the family. Terrible movie!!!
I watched it on Valentine’s Day. I dozed on it partly way through it. There was a lot of misinformation. It seemed like everything took place at Graceland. Names were changed which seemed odd. It had a weird vibe.
Lol 😂I wanna know who the real scooby was 😂 I assume it was “lizard tung” but why would they change that name?
I don’t think that ELVIS Presley would be so happy that his EX wife threw all his PERSONAL STUFF into the world, whether it’s true or NOT.
I always thought he was very PRIVATE.
His IMAGE was everything to him and certain things should be left PRIVATE, PERIOD.
I was very sad for ELVIS Presley, about the way she portrayed him in this movie.
FORGET this movie and remember ELVIS Presley for his great TALENT, his beautiful VOICE, his KINDNESS to his fans and his LOVE for his family, the family that always stood by him and NEVER disrespected him or talked BAD about him, while he was alive or after his death.
❤Question ❤ did Elvis ever tell Billy, Jo or anyone else that’s known of that he felt used by Priscilla?
Danielle I'm so glad for your oppion, as well as the background stories of the family.
I saw the Priscilla movie with my daughter who isnot an Elvis fan. I thought the movie was terrible. My daughter whos knowlege of Elvis is small,turned to me at the end and said knowing my love of Elvis this makes him look bad.
Priscilla definately has not gained any respect. ❤️🇦🇺
I won't watch it in respect of elvis and Lisa as Lisa tried to stop it glad your feeling better ❤
It just confirms my thought that Priscilla had a deep seated resentment, I feel she felt her star was going to rise along with his. She didn't want to be a stay at home Mother. Let's face it Elvis didn't want to marry she knows it too . The movie is her brand "Priscilla" and put together to pull her out of insolvency, it's a total fluff piece!
Coppola is a feminist.
Priscilla wanted fame and thought Elvis would promote her, instead she became a Mother so it makes me think she used him to get fame but it didn't play out but boy is she making up ground.
She's not blood Presley.
all though i’m sure sometimes were hard being with the most famous person in the world at the time, i don’t feel bad. she knew how sought after he was, all the women he surrounded himself with, his hectic lifestyle when he was working etc. and she still wanted to be with him. she chose that life knowing who and how he was. if she wanted a normal life with a normal person who came home every night after 5pm she would’ve dated anybody else, but she didnt. and i used to like her, id ignore the bad press/what people said about her because she “seems so sweet” until lisa passed and she showed her true colors. suing elvis after their original divorce settlement & her granddaughter, constantly being seen in the media smiling having a grand old time after lisa passed promoting her new skincare line like nothing happened, how much she lies & changes her story. it just doesn’t right with me.
agreed! she just read her granddaughters poem 😐
Priscilla needs to disappear out of the picture..... nobody agrees for her to be buried at Graceland so she just needs to give up and go into seclusion coz nobody cares what's she's doing in life
Totally agree
Well she is folks.
Stop being so mean to Priscilla.
I am right there with you, Danielle, Priscilla was honestly one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I didn't really expect to like it but I actually hated it. The actors were not believable, especially the actor who played Elvis. And to leave out everything that Priscilla did to help cause the demise of their marriage is to me just hypocritical. And what even was that ending? And if Priscilla didn't like the way she was being treated she absolutely could have gone back home to her parents.And you're absolutely right nobody takes it into consideration that although Priscilla was 14 when they met, she didn't move into Graceland until she was 17 and she was 21 when they married.
Why didn't she go home she would have done everyone a favor😢
👏👏👏👏👏
If she had gone home, she and her parents who were her partners in crime setting a trap for Elvis in Germany, wouldn't have benefitted from all his money and fame. She wanted HIS money and name and the attention she so desperately craved being his wife. That is why she never remarried because she knew without the Presley she couldn't get the attention she craved and she would be a nobody, which in my opinion she is.
Hi Danielle .....I agree with all that you have said about the Priscilla movie!! I can say more but I will refrain ! Hope you have a great week and continue to improve, you definitely sound better ! 🙏🙏. My love to your grandparents and hope that Popaw continues to improve! God bless and love ya all Charlie
look at pics of her - even before elvis- she wore red lipstick and makeup!!! she sure did not look virginal!
Thank you! You’re being too nice, Priscilla lies all the time and changes her story all the time. Again thank you for defending Elvis 🙏🏻
I will never understand the need for this movie to be made. Priscilla saying her story has never been told isn’t true. In 1988 her autobiography was made into a tv miniseries called, “Elvis & Me”. She and Jerry Schilling gave their input on the project. Back then she had the ability to use his name and his music unlike now. Notice the new one is called Priscilla not Priscilla & Elvis. There is a get video on TH-cam explaining why she lost her rights to everything. Should be easy to google.
Such a fair reaction. You always have a great way of presenting anything. You seem so kind.💕
Hi Danielle, I am so happy you and Mr. Billy are doing better. I can see the resemblance of the Smith side in you, you look lovely tonight. I wish your family would make a movie about thier life with Elvis. Sending love and prayers ❤❤❤ Grace and Alain from Canada
Thank you Danielle. You look so beautiful today! 👍🌹
Yes, if I’d a fact that Lisa wrote emails to Coppola slamming the project. These emails were leaked to variety Magazine and verified as hers. September 2023 article. She sent those late in 2022.
Priscilla always plays this drama queen victim in all her interviews as well as her book and movie. All you gotta do is watch the home movies and she’s always laughing and cutting up. She just needs to desperately get sympathy at Elvis’ expense. Pity me. Pity pity me. That’s how she always portrays her life with Elvis in all interviews after Elvis passed. While Elvis was still here….When she interviewed on many many magazines like Ladies Home Journal in 1973 she painted a different story of her life with Elvis as well as Photoplay 1973.
Lisa slammed Sofia Coppola’ about this movie and asked Coppola to not do it as she would have to publicly go against Priscilla (her mom) and their relationship was already too fragile. Those emails were leaked to Variety in September 2023. Lisa was livid! Priscilla went ahead with it in spite of Lisa’s wishes soon after her death.
I won’t mention the name of author of a very credible book that tells her true story from birth, Germany, etc. Priscilla tried to stop it from publishing but couldn’t. Court ruled in favor of the book.
It’s sad that she doesn’t like anybody writing negatively about her and true to stop them but she has done that about Elvis for almost 50 years.
I dislike the way she fussed Billy and Jo and who know what lies she told Lisa that she turned from them as well.
Prayers for Billy. We love him. We appreciate and cherish him. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
I saw it last night on MAX and tried to have an open mind. It was boring and both lead characters were dull and blah. I had to raise the volume all the way because the voices were so low. Lots of shots of her walking through halls looking bored and robotic. Like they were trying to be artsy and it was just so shallow and awkward. Elvis was one portrayed negatively and one dimensional. Can’t believe this was a real movie that actually made it to theaters.
Sonny West and Red West and Dave Helber, Red West was with Elvis from the beginning at High school and Priscilla forgets that other Elvis Presley fans Know Other people that knew Elvis Presley personally and I am one of those people who who is and will always and forever and a Day be A Elvis Presley Fan. And Yes I have meet your Grandpa when Graceland first opened and He was Very Polite and Graceful of talking to me about Elvis.
Just my opinion she was/is jealous of the fact that Elvis loved his family and the Memphis Mafia who became his family. She was not able to separate him from his family. Tots agree she wants that pitty...again just my opinion.
unfortunately, she separated Lisa from Elvis's family after he died. She made her life miserable, removing her from the life she was used to and familiar with, her cousins that she played with etc. She put her in Scientology school which Lisa said took years to get over. Which Priscilla is still a part of.
I hadn't thought of that but she definitely did succeed In separating Lisa...:(
@@veronicamorin9664 She did and I'm sure brainwashed her thru her childhood years.
Thank you Danielle for the video.
Yes I remember those working days, how fast the weekend goes.
Now the movie
If the Elvis movie was better!
I can imagine how
Horrible the Priscilla movie must be and we have no desire to watch it!
I would not waste my time or energy.
It's so amazing how Priscilla forgot all about the relationship she had with your Grandma and felt excluded from everyone,
I just can't understand why Priscilla didn't open the door and went back where she came from and didn't let the door hit her in the back side!
If she was sooo
Unhappy!
I guess $$$$$$$
One can tolerate anything!
Glad you are feeling better Danielle,
Have a great week at work.❤
Arrivederci!
GOD BLESS ALL OF YOUR FAMILY, YOURE DOING A GREAT JOB, I DON’T CARE FOR THOSE FAULTS MOVIES OF HERS. ELVIS LIVES FOREVER IN MY HEART. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS ♥️
I will not watch it. Not interested in a movie bashing Elvis. Have heard it’s low budget,boring,and paints Elvis as a horrible,manipulative, and abusive man. Priscilla has a history of Lying and changing her stories for decades. I believe it was the exact opposite and Priscilla was the horrible one. She comes off as absolutely hating Elvis and constantly seeking revenge. I think she was extremely jealous of both Elvis and Lisa Marie. She is nothing more than a psycho Narcissist that demands to be the center of attention anyway she can. The real truth needs to come out about her. She has used Lawsuits and Non Disclosure Agreements and threats to keep people from telling the truth. Don’t you think it is odd that out of probably 100’s of girlfriends in his Lifetime not one accuses Elvis of what she does. That speaks volumes right there. Great job Danielle. Not many people left to tell the real truth. So happy that Billy and Jo tell what really happened. I thank God for them. ❤
You are so right Danielle!! The way your grandparents were treated(not treated) was terrible. Elvis would have been livid !! Priscilla sent Lisa away to boarding school and had her in the brainwashing scientology group...she could have been close to you and the rest of your family all those years. That's just a shame...Take care...You do a great job!!!
If I were to make a bio of someone, I would interview and collect as much information as I could. You would owe that to all people involved.
He was a womanizer. Everyone knows that. I'm so sick of her playing the victim. They were only married, 7 years? It's been years since Elvis has passed. She needs to stop! Billy and Jo were so close to Elvis. I do not want to see another Elvis movie 23:17
You know what Priscilla has always benefited from the Elvis life. How much more can you talk about it. The good times are gone. Billy and Jo you stick to the true story. Danielle you watch out for them.Thanks for this.
Love the eye look today ❤😊 my suspicion based on how choppy the movie was is that there were way more scenes planned and last minute they skipped them in editing or didn’t film them at all because of legal issues or budget constraints . It just felt like an incomplete movie . It ended in theaters and I thought I fell asleep or something because it didn’t feel complete . When I re-watched it , I was baffled that it was a professional movie and how boring it was . The made for tv movie was way better .
I didn't even make it through the movie... You did better than me! The director flat out stated she wasn't making this movie for Elvis fans... so she didn't care what we thought... well... I bet she regrets that now because our thoughts equal dollars and from what I heard this film FLOPPED. Priscilla is no victim. She put her claws in, latched on and didn't let go until she was certain she'd be set for life... There is a clip of Lisa Marie talking about the Memphis Mafia and how they tried to steal Elvis' dignity (by writing books) and she hopes they go to or rot in hell or something like that... meanwhile her own mother lead the charge with her tasteless tell-all, taking away her father's dignity for sure! And you're right--Elvis isn't here to defend himself... for him the "hits" just keep coming... literally... hopefully Priscilla's tale sinks into silence where it belongs and we never have to see another remake of this "love story" ever again. It's pretty sad that I like other Elvis girlfriends/flings more so than I like his actual wife... I don't hate her... I just hate the narrative she keeps pumping out that the masses just keep eating up... and it's true--if you don't fit her narrative, she writes you out of the story...
Well if you don't agree with her and that she was innocent and a victim, you are right, you are not a part of her life. In the Elvis film, she had say on whether it would be released. of course after all her input and her making herself out to the victim and only portraying her in a good light, she loved it. How can you make a movie about Elvis and not include his friends and family that were his life. She knew she couldn't bc they would have told the truth and called her out and that would not have been tolerated.
The Priscilla movie was the most depressing movie I ever watched. Thank god Lisa Marie wasn't around to see it, just another way for her mother to break her heart. Priscilla made it seem like she didn't have an enjoyable life with Elvis, ever, she's constantly the victim in her own mind. I'm so happy Riley fought her to get her hands out of Graceland and I'm so happy EPE refused Sofia Coppola any and all music to that movie, they wouldn't even negotiate, it was a flat out NO. I can't wait for Riley to publish Lisa Marie memoir, she said Lisa Marie had been working on her memoir for 3-4yrs and that she owed it to her mother, LMP, to have it published.
Graceland refused the rights to Elvis recordings
Boring is the word, I suffered through the movie, I don't know why they even bothered to make such a lousy movie! I agree, Priscilla was not an innocent victim!
God Bless your family Danielle, you look alot like Elvis mom Gladys, so beautiful.❤
Still awaiting this Movie in the Uk…. Sounds like i will not bother watching Elvis’ EX wife. We must stop giving this EX wife a stage to play out on… It’s time Pricilla built bridges with the Smith family we are ALL bored of her lies and odd ways.
The Smiths hold the truth… God bless their authenticity and honesty ✨
How is your Billy doing, praying for him..
I heard that EPE did not give them permission to use Elvis music. I too hated the Elvis movie. It made him appear sooo depressed. I thought Austin did a great job but I’m shocked Lisa thought this was the best depiction of Elvis. There was nothing fun loving about how they protrayed him. Just my unsolicited opinion here but you look like young Gladys especially the eyes ❤❤
That movie was from the Colonel point of view and about the controversial relationship they had during his career. It was stressful sometimes for Elvis and maybe this is the reason why most of his personality was left out. A shame but I think it's just because of the kind of narration they chose. That movie is not perfect but entertaining and visually stunning. From what I've read, this one is only boring 😂
The song I will always Love you came out after Elvis Presley passed away so no Elvis never sang that song for Priscilla. That never ever Happened either.
😅Priscilla would have never got the attention and money if not for Elvis!She had to know how he was she was 21!Not a baby. I know it had to be hard to live in a goldfish bowl!Think she wanted in spotlight too!Why if he was so mean to her does she want to be buried at graceland? When is she going to make a movie about her son's Dad. She was with him a lot longer than Elvis!She made a lot of money off of Elvis name. At least tell the truth about it. Wish Billy Jo would make movie or something to show how it really was❤❤❤❤
Great video! Honestly I really have no desire to even see this movie and I wasn't impressed at the previews. Elvis was a damn good man and had gave and gave and that is how I want to remember him.
If you saw the previews , that basically was the whole movie . It was boring !
Thanks danielle hope that your grandfather gets better , please give him my kind regards from Ireland, thank you.
How many times can this woman tell the same old, tired story for profit? She simply changes it to fit her agenda. Funny she chose to release it only after Lisa died too.
Priscilla has been trying to rewrite Elvis history and she just Will Never Do It!! At least not to us Elvis fans that were here during his career and his untimely death!! We all know Lisa was at Graceland when her daddy passed away!! That’s the newest lie from Priscilla!!!!!!
Right? I saw that, can you remember what interview she said that on, where she said that Lisa was at her house when he died, which we all know she was at Graceland and Ginger escorted of out of Elvis's bedroom when she came in the room. We all know she was at Graceland. At this time school had been out but she it was about time to go back to Priscilla's to go back to school. Such a right out obvious lie.
@@Barbara-lb5yt I think it was her Pierce Morgan? I’m not sure that’s his name though but that’s where she said it…she also says she’s never told that story. I wonder why? Bc Lisa was still alive and could debunk it!!
@@Sharon-Carrell She Can't but people like you and me can. To sit there and tell a whole story that she knows is a lie, is very bold of her. Yes I believe it was Piers, he berates Megan Markle as he should, but sits there and calls Prissy royalty (which she loved) and gave her softball questions and didnt call her out on a lie that everyone knows about.and he calls himself a journalist.
@@Barbara-lb5ytTotally agree!!!
That's the thing about lies, you tell so many you forget what you told before. 😂😂
Elvis was so mean and arrogant and now she says he's the love of her life. I have never seen a more false liar than this "dear widow". I hope Riley doesn't let her go back to Graceland.
I hope so too!!😊
I haven’t seen the movie sweetie but I believe you! That woman is a liar and changes the story all the time. Many blessings to Billy and Jo ❤
I just got through watching the movie for free because I knew I wasn’t going to pay to watch that, and it is exactly as I figured, just like Danielle said. I was 18 when Elvis died I grew up, listening to Elvis, watching all of his movies reading everything I could, I am now 65. I may not know as much as some people do about Elvis, nor do I claim to, but I do know a little bit
I always found it sketchy how Priscilla kept telling the story of Elvis throwing a ball at his Grandma and that‘s why he called her Dodger because it never made sense to me. Elvis was super respectful to elders and knew about honor and decency and respect and I always found it weird because Elvis is not thy type of person to throw a ball at his grandmother or any other elderly person, Elvis was super respectful and honored his elders and that‘s something he would never do and thank you Danielle for finally telling the truth and clearing that up🤍 I always wondered about this story and I am glad that we finally get the truth from you and your beautiful family, god bless you all🙏🏻🌹
elvis is the one who told priscilla about the ball and his grandmother. she did not witness it herself but was told by elvis what happened.
She proabably wasn't elderly when he threw the ball.
I would never pay to see this as I have had enough of Pricilla. From her suing her grandchildren and contesting Lisa’s will and shaking the grandchildren down for a million dollars. And it was also well none that this movie was a big source of contention between Lisa and Pricilla as Lisa was furious over this movie. So now we are expecting to believe Pricilla’s movie. ABSOLUTELY NOT! Pricilla has worn her welcome in the Elvis community. And then the rumors of the just only friends relationship with Jerry Schilling. These two need the Elvis world to feel important. Finally I cannot believe that Elvis would want Pricilla buried at Graceland much less next to him and his family. She has a constant thirst for attention one would assume.
God Bless you and your family❣️♥️😘🙏🏻🔥
I wouldn’t waste my time watching anything prissy has put out or read a book she wrote. She’s full of lies and us Elvis fans will never stop loving him.
This was excellent Danielle! Thank you for all your hard work. I did not watch the Elvis movie or Priscilla movie. I enjoy listening to you and Billy & Jo a lot better.
Your doing great.Love you guys.
Hello Danielle, glad you are feeling better. I've been praying for Billy to get well and for Jo to stay strong.
I had read that Elvis had stayed faithful to Priscilla after they married. She stepped out on him after having Lisa Marie and When Elvis found out he went and started stepping out on her. I haven't seen either movies movies and I have no intention on watching them. The whole thing is very upsetting with Priscilla. And I agree she just needs to go away StayWell Danielle you're beautiful. Love and prayers to all of you❤️🙏⚡️🎶
Short answer? Priscilla is FAKE! She’s just not a good person. Why else would her own daughter distance herself from her? Priscilla is about one thing, herself! I don’t believe a word she says! I’ve seen too many contradictory interviews from this woman. She makes me ill. Isn’t just a little funny that “Elvis” came out and all of a sudden we have “Priscilla” had to be made? We all know that she begged to come here and begged Elvis for his “attentions” and he refused. She’s said as much!
I was thinking that too. This film came out after the 'Elvis' film and not before. I wonder why 🤔lol
This movie is a total joke 😂😂😂 a waste of time and money for every person who took part in it and for every single person who waste 2 hours of his life to watch this 🗑️. Let's hope this is her last move to exploit Elvis.
I think personally that Priscilla was so jealous over the bond that Elvis and Billy had that’s why I think she just doesn’t put them involved in anything. She was just a jealous person when it come to Billy and his friends and even Billy‘s wife Joe,
I think she was just jealous. They knew Elvis way longer than she ever did, they know way more about Elvis than she ever will or did and it’s a shame that she doesn’t put them in the movies when they are especially Billy big part of Elvis life. Elvis wanted Billy there with him all the time it’s just a shame.
I am just amazed that EX- WIFE ( she is not Elvis widow ), continues trying to live of Elvis fame. She realizes as long people talking about ELVIS why not ride than train. Pitiful...
