At the time of Elvis' passing, he had moved on and was engaged to Ginger Alden. Since then, Priscilla Presley has been in charge of Elvis' estate. Speaking to Ladies Home Journal in a tell-all interview post her divorce from the "All Shook Up" singer in 1973, Priscilla Presley said she and Elvis were over the moon when their daughter was born. In her book "Elvis and Me," Priscilla described herself as "Elvis' doll, his own living doll, to fashion as he pleased." In her book "Elvis and Me," Priscilla let it be known that, in a bid to get Elvis' approval, she took up karate. "It was difficult for Elvis to buy for me, and a lot times he would just tell me to get what I wanted, which I liked. "He came to the house and he was charming. "For Elvis to come home from a trip and leave again was routine. "I was dumbfounded when he asked me to spend Christmas in Memphis — and then he asked if I could remain there," she told Ladies Home Journal. Just like the first time, her parents didn't buy the idea of their daughter staying in Memphis. They came around, however, and she completed high school in the city. He was wonderful and my family had a lot of faith in him," Priscilla disclosed in a sit-down with Barbara Walters. Priscilla, on the other hand, was just getting started in high school when her military family had to move to Germany. Coincidentally, the thought had crossed her mind that she would meet Elvis. "When my father told us he was being sent to Weisbaden Air Base, I mentioned jokingly that Elvis was stationed nearby and maybe we would get a chance to meet him," Priscilla said in an interview with Ladies Home Journal. He charmed his way into the hearts of Americans and the rest of the world by bringing songs to life in a way only he could. "He was such a gentleman," she confessed.
