Priscilla Presley recently made her first public appearance since the passing of her daughter, Lisa Marie Presley. The actress was spotted at the 80th International Film Festival in Venice, Italy, where she walked the red carpet in an all-black ensemble. Despite her stylish attire, Priscilla’s somber expression sparked concerns among fans about her well-being.
The actress’s appearance in Venice was a rare sighting, as she has been keeping a low profile since her daughter’s death in January 2023. Priscilla’s last public appearance was at the Golden Globe Awards, where she attended with Lisa just days before her passing.
Priscilla’s recent outing was also significant, as it marked the debut of Sophia Coppola’s biopic “Priscilla,” which is based on Priscilla’s 1985 biography “Elvis and Me.” The film is set to hit theaters on October 27, 2023.
Fans who caught a glimpse of Priscilla’s photos from the event couldn’t help but express their concern about her health. Some described her as looking “ghostly” and “freakish,” while others felt sorry for her, saying she appeared “forlorn” and “lost.”
Priscilla’s life has been marked by significant events, including her marriage to Elvis Presley and the loss of her daughter. In a recent interview, Priscilla opened up about her relationship with Elvis, revealing that they met in 1959 when she was just 14 years old. Despite their significant age gap, Elvis respected Priscilla’s age and never pressured her into anything she wasn’t comfortable with.
Priscilla described Elvis as sweet, tender, and caring, and their connection was built on trust and mutual respect. The couple eventually married in 1967 and had a daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, together.
Tragedy struck when Elvis passed away in 1977, leaving Priscilla to raise their daughter alone. Decades later, Priscilla faced another devastating loss with the passing of her daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, in January 2023.
Priscilla has been open about her grief, stating that she still can’t believe her daughter is no longer with her. The actress described Lisa’s death as a loss she would not wish on any mother.
