She has starred in the movie “Breakfast with Einstein” as well as the Showtime original movie “Haley Wagner Star,” a family-themed movie with a valuable message for young teenagers.She also guest starred on television's “Melrose Place” and “Touched by an Angel.” As a direct result of her appearances, the programs enjoyed their highest rated episodes in their seasons. In addition, Priscilla guest starred in back-to-back episodes of the award-winning ABC Television comedy series “Spin City.”
In 1979, Priscilla became co-executor of the Presley Estate after the death of Elvis' father, Vernon Presley. Although Priscilla and Elvis divorced in 1973, they remained very close until the time of his death. She has since brought the Presley Estate from a burgeoning entity into a phenomenally successful organization consisting of the famous Graceland Mansion, a worldwide licensing program, merchandising, music publishing, and television and video projects. Priscilla continues to be a steward of the Elvis Presley legacy.
