Join actress and businesswoman Priscilla Presley — the former wife of Elvis, and a key architect of his legacy — for a conversation about her new memoir, Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis.
Priscilla Presley’s divorce from Elvis left his fans incredulous. How could she leave the man every woman wanted? From the outside, life in Elvis’s mansion looked glamorous and enviable. But life inside Graceland was not all that it seemed. Softly, As I Leave You goes beyond the mythology of Sofia Coppola’s hit biopic, Priscilla, to tell the truth about Priscilla Presley in her own words — the deeply personal story of what she lost and what she found when she walked away from the man she loved. Despite the legal separation, their love for one another transformed into a touching and tender dynamic that endured until Elvis’s untimely death four years later.
In a special conversation, her first book event in New York, hear Priscilla tell the story of her life with and after Elvis — from raising her children, including a daughter who never got over losing Elvis, to finding her footing as an actress in TV’s Dallas and the Naked Gun movies to becoming a savvy businesswoman transforming Graceland, the Elvis mansion, into an international destination and making it the second most visited historic home in the United States. A life full of triumph, heartbreak, and grace
