Priscilla met the “Hound Dog” singer in 1959, when she was only 14 years old. Despite their 10-year age gap, Priscilla and Elvis remained in touch and she eventually moved in with him.

“People think, ‘Oh, it was sex.’ No, it wasn’t,” Priscilla said during an appearance at a Venice Film Festival press conference. “I never had sex with him. He was very kind, very soft, very loving, but he also respected the fact I was only 14 years old. We were more in mind, in thought, and that was our relationship.”
