At a party celebrating the Elvis film the weekend before the Golden Globes (on Sunday, Jan. 8, Elvis' birthday), Lisa Marie addressed the attendees and said her dad would be proud of the movie.
"I'm so overwhelmed by this film and the effect that it's had and what Baz has done, Austin's done. I'm so proud, and I know that my father would also be very proud. ... I'm overwhelmed with gratitude, so thank you," she said at the gathering.
Following her death, celebrities paid tribute to Lisa Marie, with John Travolta writing, "Lisa baby girl, I'm so sorry. I'll miss you but I know I'll see you again. My love and heart goes out to Riley, Priscilla, Harper and Finley."
Lisa Marie was also mother to son Benjamin Keough, who died by suicide in 2020 at age 27.

It is a great movie. It certainly doesn’t paint Elvis’s manager, Col. Tom Parker, in a good light.View attachment 395119View attachment 395120

The tribute Austin paid to Lisa Marie and Priscilla at the Golden Globes was lovely. He must be devastated by Lisa Marie passing away so suddenly and unexpectedly so soon after seeing her at the awards on Tuesday night.
Austin deserved to win the Best Actor Golden Globe award. His performance as Elvis in the movie is phenomenal and I really hope he wins the Best Actor award at The Oscars because he deserves to win it. The movie is extremely well made and very emotional to watch. All the cast gave great performances and the movie transports you back to the 50s, 60s and 70s (which were before I was born) with music and the sets used. If you haven’t had the chance to see it yet I really recommend it. I didn’t expect to be sitting in the cinema in tears watching it and other people in the audience were crying too.

Sad, sad, and more sadness.R.I.P. Lisa Marie - you never stood a chance: MAUREEN CALLAHAN'S searing portrait of a troubled loner who watched her daddy die - and was haunted by the graveyard in her Graceland garden with the plot waiting for her…
For all the recent talk about royalty and primogeniture, there may be no greater example of its perils than Lisa Marie Presley.
The only child of Elvis, the King of Rock n' Roll, Lisa Marie felt like she belonged to all of us, and how terribly unfair. She was the little girl who had everything: Her father spoiled her silly, giving her a tiny, bespoke fur coat and real jewels. He named one of his private planes after her, a plane you can tour at Graceland for an extra fee. He would send a car, unannounced, to pick her up at school, and that was the sign she was going on the road with her daddy. He once flew her to Utah just so she could see snow.
She was with her father when he died in his bathroom at Graceland. She saw him on the floor, rolled out of his own vomit, people working to resuscitate him as her grandfather Vernon wailed, 'Oh God son, please don't go, please don't die.'
Lisa was nine years old. 'What's wrong with my daddy?' she asked. 'Something's wrong with my daddy, and I'm going to find out.'
She was back at Graceland just four days before her own death, at age 54, from cardiac arrest. She gave a speech; it was January 8, her father's birthday. Graceland was always a haunted place for her.
'The backyard of Graceland is a graveyard, basically,' she told Playboy in 2003. 'How many people have a family grave in the backyard? How many people are reminded of their fate, of their mortality, every f---ing day? All the graves are lined up and there's a spot there, waiting for me, right next to my grandmother.'
There was, by her own admission, a dark cloud that followed her. The Presley bloodline is a rough one, shot through with depression, mental illness, heart problems, addiction. Her father was a 'twinless twin' — his twin brother Jesse a stillbirth, a loss his mother Gladys never got over. Elvis himself suffered with an existential loneliness that grew in direct proportion to his fame. During his last stay in Las Vegas, in December 1976, he wrote a note that read, in part:
'I feel so alone sometimes . . . Help me, Lord.'

Sorry, you are correct. She was 5 when her parents separated, and 9 when Elvis died.
I get the impression she may have been a self sacrificer, similar to Elvis. He was always trying to make people happy. Buying them Cadillacs, etc. And I can imagine he did concerts many times when he wasn’t physically up to it.
