The star was also well known for a series of high-profile marriages to pop legend Michael Jackson, actor Nicholas Cage and musicians Danny Keough and Michael Lockwood. She had four children, including the actress Riley Keough. Presley’s son, Benjamin Keough, took his own life in 2020.
Lisa Marie was seen just days ago on January 11 at the Golden Globes in support of the multi-nominated Baz Luhrmann biopic on her father’s life. On the red carpet she told journalists what she thought of the biopic when she joined frontman Austin Butler’s interview with Entertainment Tonight.

Lisa Marie told ET ahead of the Golden Globes that she was there "to support Austin and Baz and the film. I’m so excited, and I hope he wins." Butler ultimately went on to win the award, and during his acceptance speech, Lisa Marie made the list of shout outs, when he said: “Lisa Marie, Priscilla, I love you forever."
