Lisa Marie Presley (born February 1, 1968) is an American singer-songwriter also known as the Princess of Rock 'n' Roll. She is the only child of musician Elvis Presley and his wife, Priscilla Presley (formerly Priscilla Ann Wagner).
Lisa Marie Presley was born in Memphis, Tennessee, exactly nine months after her parents' May 1, 1967, wedding. Until her parents' divorce, she lived at Graceland, Elvis' Memphis estate. She was pampered and indulged by her father — she divided her time between living at Graceland with her father and in Beverly Hills with her mother. This arrangement continued until her father died in 1977, after which she lived exclusively in Beverly Hills.
After her father's death, Presley had serious problems with her mother Priscilla, particularly because Priscilla's live-in boyfriend Michael Edwards, Presley claims, made advances toward her. Her mother was often away due to the schedule of her television series, Dallas, while Presley was left with Edwards. After Edwards and Priscilla Presley broke up, Edwards wrote a book entitled Priscilla, Elvis, & Me, which included details of his lust for Lisa Marie. By age fourteen, she had started taking drugs. Presley's mother sent her to several boarding schools. She attended the 10th grade at an alternative boarding school in Ojai, California, called Happy Valley School. The last secondary school she attended was the Scientology-affiliated Apple School (later known as Los Feliz Hills School) in Los Angeles.
