On Lisa Marie Presley

As Elvis’s only child, Lisa Marie Presley was burdened from birth with extraordinary, largely unwanted fame. Before her death in 2023, she spent years as tabloid fodder, less for her sporadic music career than for her highly publicised relationships with Michael Jackson, Nicolas Cage and Scientology. In a recent review of her posthumous memoir, Jessica Olin celebrates Lisa Marie’s resilience and charisma in the face of ruthless publicity. Jessica joins Tom to discuss Lisa Marie’s ambivalent relationship with fame, and how a new generation are encountering the Presley family saga through her daughter, Riley Keough.

Hogwash

Celebrate the life of Lisa-Marie Presley? This is nothing but repeating what was in memoir and People Magazine. FYI - Riley did not use a gho KOstwriter and can't believe she didn't know Priscilla was the "Babe" Olin's term in airplane. Sleazy for LRB.
