Happy Dead Elvis Day!
Elvis Presley died 30 years ago yesterday. But his former wife, Priscilla, lives on to this day, and is quite a looker even now. Did you know, though, that back in the day she was a perfume maven? It’s true. She was the face of Indian Summer, Roses and More, Experience, Moments, and perhaps even more scents. More famous for her marriage to Elvis than her acting, Priscilla has nevertheless had a fair degree of success on both the small and big screen. Other facts:
Priscilla Beaulieu met Elvis when she was just 14, the daughter of an air force officer stationed in Germany at the same time as the 24-year-old Elvis, then four years into rock ‘n’ roll fame.
After an eight-year courtship, she married him in May 1967, at the age of 21. Nine months later they had a daughter, Lisa Marie. As their marriage began to fall apart, Priscilla studied karate and acting. They divorced in 1973 and Elvis died four years later.
She turned down a part as one of the Angels in the 1979 TV series, ‘Charlie’s Angels’, but then forged her career with appearances in soap opera phenomenon, ‘Dallas’, playing Jenna Wade.
If you happen to have an old dusty bottle of one of her fragrances, what better time than today to wear it?
