Talk:Priscilla Presley

I have reversed most of what nonymous User:12.179.81.20 inserted because this is just a copy of fabricated information that another Anonymous User inserted into the Elvis Presley article. Ted Wilkes 14:52, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Note that I will shortly today "fill in the blanks" with factual details in this article and in the related article on the book she wrote, Elvis and Me. Ted Wilkes 14:59, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

I would like to know if Priscilla once lived in Quebec Canada. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.134.96.113 (talk • contribs) 12:57, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Early life

I personally don't know very much about Priscilla and so unfortunately can't put my money where my mouth is---but shouldn't the 'Early life' section encompass her -own- early life IE. childhood, teenage years, etc, information about her interests and personality or something? At this point this section makes it sound like she started life as Elvis' girlfriend and while that may be what most of the public knows of her, this article should probably adhere to a greater depth of information considering it is essentially acting as her biography on wikipedia. Is there anyone who can step up to do this? 207.105.193.205 19:25, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Okay scratch that, this article is just completely out of order. The stuff in 'Plane Crash' and some of the stuff in earlier sections belong in 'Early life'. This article appears to be very neglected. Too bad I don't have time to do anything about it now. :P

Will someone please check the name of the Agency she signed with? Should it be the William Morris Agency? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.94.59.186 (talk) 16:12, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

What's the deal with her moving in with Elvis' parents? I'm going to try to find an "expand section" tag because that seems mysterious and fascinating and deserves a more complete explanation of the circumstances that led to that and how the arrangements was arranged. From how it's written now it seems like they talked once and he decided to have her live with his folks. Some Elvis fan must be able to fill this out more. --In Defense of the Artist (talk) 03:22, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I have tried to expand this section with information that is accurate. It was a little unclear in the original about the space of time it took to move to Graceland, but hopefully now it is a lot more clear. ChanelleHayes (talk) 14:23, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I have added a lot more detail to the EARLY LIFE section, from information that I have acquired following a Biography Channel programme on Priscilla. As far as I know, the information is accurate due to the source, including interviews with Priscilla and her parents. I don't have references from online sources obviously, but if anyone feels the information is wrong or could be changed to something better, then I would welcome the improvement, but as it stands I am happy with it. If I find any more important information while watching the show again, I will add it to the relevant sections, as long as no one has any objections of course.

Cosmetic surgery

Shouldn't there be a section on how she's had so much cosmetic surgery? 63 and looking like a 30-year-old; that ain't down to good genes. 90.44.141.138 (talk) 17:35, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

THat section should indeed be added, and cover the botched work that she had to suffer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.167.221.2 (talk) 14:46, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Acting

What about the TV show "Dallas" and the film "Naked Gun 2 1/2"? She was not a terrible actress. 68.116.40.228 (talk) 20:12, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Norwegian heritage

Is she of Norwegian descent, as it states at List of Norwegian Americans? Badagnani (talk) 04:02, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes she is. I have translated this arrticle from Norwegian:

Priscilla's grand mother and grand father emigrated from Norway to the USA. Priscilla still has family / relatives in the European country.

In the beginning of the 1900's hundreds, the couple anna and Jalmar Iversen emigrated from Egersund, Norway to the USA. In the USA they gave birth to the daughter Ann Beaulieu, that 23 years later became thmother of Priscilla Ann Beaulieu. In 1967, Priscilla married Elvis Presley and the year after they got Lisa Marie Presley.

Here is a picture of Priscilla Presley's 3rd cousin in Norway, Anne Grete Leidland:

Anne Grete Leidland in an interview:

- It was actually Priscilla's parents that let us know. Priscilla has been very interested in her Norwegian roots and her parents looked us up when they visited Norway. Unfortunetly Priscilla did'nt have time to visit Norway at the time.

Terje Knutheim, second cousin to Priscilla's mother visited the Beaulieu's in Los Angeles in 1999.

- Priscilla was on a business trip and I did'nt get to meet her. However the Beaulieu's were great people.

Article in Norwegian from 2002:

I have just added parts of this info to the article.

Mortyman (talk) 01:17, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

I believe there is some incorrect info in the Verdens Gang newspaper article. The refs Oh, it's marvellous!, Kirkegaten 23, Priscilla Presleys plass, Opening ceremony of Priscilla Presleys plass and [1] say that Priscilla's grandfather's name was Albert Henry Iversen (VG says Amund Jalmar Iversen), that he married Lorraine (unknown surname) in the USA (VG says he was married to Anna when leaving Norway) and that they had Anna Lillian in 1926 (VG says Ann in 1922).

My guess is that Amund Jalmar and Anna Iversen were Albert's parents, and that they all left Norway when Albert, born in 1896 (look at image of name sign), was a kid. I hope you won't mind that I've changed the article. Nording (talk) 00:45, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

scientology

there is no mention of it in the article? It would atleast be of interest as she sent her daughter to a scientology boarding school, but there is no evidence that Elvis was a sceintologist (AFAIK).
