LONDON, Oct 24: Priscilla Presley says she is afraid that people may forget her husband legendary singer Elvis Presley.
The 71-year-old actress was married to the iconic musician from 1967 until 1973 and she takes it as her responsibility to continue his legacy, reported Female First.
“My fear is that people will forget about Elvis. I feel a responsibility for keeping his legacy alive. You’ll never see his sort of stardom again. He was so authentic and, in lots of ways, innocent. What you saw was what you got,” Priscilla said.
The actress first met the “Heartbreak Hotel” hitmaker during her teens and even though their marriage didn’t work out, she takes her relationship with Elvis as a life-defining moment.
“Meeting Elvis when I was 14 changed the course of my life. Sure, that was young, but he left Germany [where they had met] to return to the US not long after.
“We stayed in touch for two years before we saw each other again. He was a gentleman in all ways while we courted.” (PTI)
