Register or LoginMEMPHIS, Tenn. — Over the years, Lisa Marie Presley has become dissatisfied with movies chronicling her father's life, so she just might make a film about the rock `n' roll icon. The daughter of Elvis Presley said she has been in talks about a movie, though she didn't offer a timetable."There's not been anything done properly with him yet, you know, that has satisfied me in terms of capturing everything," she told The Associated Press. "It will happen, though."Presley, who rarely gives interviews, was at Graceland this week to attend the opening of a new exhibit. "Elvis Through His Daughter's Eyes" is a personal look at Lisa Marie and includes her baby shoes, her first record player and a small white fur coat – touchstones from her days living at Graceland, her father's longtime Memphis home until his death Aug. 16, 1977. This year marks the 35th anniversary of Elvis' death, which is observed each August with a week long gathering of fans in Memphis. Officials anticipate as many as 75,000 people, the number that showed up in 2007 for the 30th anniversary.Presley lived at Graceland until she was 5, which is when her mother Priscilla divorced Elvis and moved with Lisa Marie to California. She continued to visit Graceland, and she smiles when talking about the time spent with her dad, such as when they would ride a golf cart through the neighborhood together. She recalled waiting for her father to make his daily entrance down the stairs."He was always fully, fully geared up. You'd never see him in his pajamas coming down the steps, ever," she said. "You'd never see him in anything but `ready to be seen' attire."Elvis, a renowned car and motorcycle aficionado, also was known to leave the grounds and hang out with locals in the neighborhood."Sometimes he would go and there would be a convoy and everybody would follow," she said. "He'd be going down Elvis Presley Boulevard and you would see these devices riding down the road, of all sorts."Lisa Marie has spent much of the past few years taking care of her 3-year-old twin daughters she had with husband Michael Lockwood. She has two children from a previous marriage to musician Danny Keough, which ended in 1994. She also was married to actor Nicholas Cage and pop star Michael Jackson. Presley did not want to talk at length about Jackson. The exhibit displays a photo of her and Jackson visiting a children's hospital in Budapest, Hungary. "It was just one of the moments that was captured ... we were helping this child get a liver transplant," she said. When asked what comes to mind when she thinks of Jackson, she said: "I can only say that I have good memories."Lisa Marie has found time to make a new record, her third. Set for release in May, the album is being produced by Grammy-winner T-Bone Burnett. Presley said she stays involved with the workings of Elvis Presley Enterprises, which licenses her father's name and image in merchandising, music, television and film. Likenesses of Elvis have appeared in countless movies and TV shows, some without permission."There can be a sort of cheesy take on him, which I don't always love sometimes – you know, the later years and that whole thing with his white jumpsuit," she said. "Now I'm probably over it. But I mean it was kind of running wild for a while. It was a little bit cringe-worthy."For her movie, Presley envisions something like "Walk the Line," the Johnny Cash biopic starring Joaquin Phoenix.Presley, the heir to her father's estate, said she is glad the business is back in the hands of a private company, Apollo Management Group. The private equity group purchased CKx Inc., which owns Elvis Presley Enterprises and the "American Idol" franchise, in May.She likes the idea of updating exhibits and the Heartbreak Hotel at the Graceland tourist attraction across the street from the home. She also would like to see revitalization of the poverty-stricken neighborhoods near Elvis Presley Boulevard."It makes me sad to see that, it does, because I remember when it wasn't there," she said. "I don't like to see that anywhere I am, to be honest."Memphis officials have for years talked about improving some of the areas around Graceland, but nothing has been done. Graceland is one of Tennessee's most visited tourist attractions.As for the exhibit, Presley said one of her favorite items is the key used to operate the golf cart because it helps her recall when she was alone with her father, riding around the neighborhood."That was my life," she said. "I carried it everywhere. It was never far from me or not on my person when I was a child. I hadn't seen it in 35 years."[/b][/i]

USA Today and Good Morning America sat down with Lisa Marie to talk about her experiences growing up at Graceland. In an article by USA Today, Lisa Marie talks about her reaction when first seeing many of her childhood keepsakes - including a blue record player that spun her first 45s and a re-creation of Presley's nursery."When I walked in and saw that, I gasped," said Presley. "I was going between laughter and wanting to break down in tears."In a private tour with Good Morning America's Cameron Mathison, Lisa Marie talked about her favorite childhood past-times.“What I remember is him waking me up to do things. Like, get in the golf cart and go take me for a ride in the middle of the night or in the wee hours of the morning or at some point when he probably shouldn’t have been doing that (laughs). It was always really special for me to get in the golf cart with him, be alone with him,” Presley told Mathison.The new exhibit, included in the Graceland VIP Tour, features 200 items assembled by Lisa Marie and the Graceland Archives team. The personal exhibit looks at Lisa Marie's experience of growing up with a famous father. Home movies, toys and rarely-seen family mementos are among the many items that are on display.Watch Good Morning America's interview with Lisa Marie and visit USA Today's photo gallery - featuring a few of the items on display at the "Elvis...Through His Daughter's Eyes" Exhibit.Learn more about the VIP Tour and visiting Graceland during this special 35th anniversary year.

Register or Login* By Michael Lollar* Memphis Commercial Appeal* Posted February 1, 2012 Lisa Marie Presley's last visit to Graceland was at Thanksgiving for dinner in the dining room of the home where she spent most of her first 9 years. She returned Wednesday to celebrate her 44th birthday and the opening of a new exhibit looking at her father through her eyes."Elvis . . . Through His Daughter's Eyes" opened for a two-year run as part of the $70 VIP tour of Graceland. It is the home where Lisa once rode golf carts across the rolling landscape. The key to her old cart is among 201 items in the exhibit that ranges from a re-creation of her childhood nursery to common themes in her life and her father's.Presley arrived with 3 of her own children at her side, twin daughters Finley and Harper and daughter Riley. Their brother, Benjamin, wasn't with them, but a photo of him in the exhibit shows a striking resemblance to his famous grandfather. "It scares me sometimes," said Lisa, who helped put together the exhibit with Graceland curator and archivist Angie Marchese.Lisa said the photo of a Thanksgiving dinner in the exhibit was taken in the Graceland dining room last Thanksgiving. It is a room seen by an average of 600,000 tourists a year. To her, it is home. "Every time we come here, we at least have a family dinner." She used to return to Graceland to spend the night occasionally, but now limits her visits to dinners. "We do it once the tours shut. Then the kitchen fires up and the house comes alive."Tourists would make overnight visits more difficult, she said. "I don't think I would be up and out quick enough in the mornings."Marchese said part of the goal of the exhibit is to focus on Elvis as a father rather than as a rock music icon and actor. "Lisa understands what her dad did, but the stories that ring true when she talks were that he was her father."It isn't part of the exhibit, but Marchese said Lisa told her she recalls Elvis punishing her only once -- with a paddle. "She said she couldn't remember why she was punished, but that he then apologized by coming to her with a puppet on his hand and talked to her through the puppet."Though she thinks of Elvis first as "my father," Lisa said, one of the common themes in their lives is entertainment. Lisa has two albums that went gold and a third to be released in May."T-Bone Burnett produced it. It's more rootsy, more organic than the first two albums," said Lisa, who named the album Storm and Grace after one of the new songs, all of which she wrote."I'm so into bringing Memphis music back. I know everybody loves Nashville right now, and Nashville likes to take all the glory. But this is where it all started," she says, referring to the blues as one of the major roots of music and Memphis as the birthplace of rock.Another parallel between her life and her dad's is a love of fashion. As a child she wandered through his upstairs closet. "It was always colorful and incredible," she said, and jeans and T-shirts weren't part of his everyday wardrobe. "You would never see that. He was always decked out even if he was lounging around home."Growing up with famous parents was never a burden for her, she said. "I've understood it. You define your relationship with it. You have to navigate, and I don't regret anything."It often turned Lisa into a tabloid target, including during pregnancy. "I always photograph bigger than I am," she said. "They also exaggerate photographs too. They continuously tried to bloat me and make me look like my father and make it look like the same fate."She's candid despite her high-profile life. When a Graceland spokesman asks her to take a break to touch up her makeup, she asks: "What, do I look like hell or something?"Her candor is another legacy of both her mother, Priscilla, and her father that comes through in the exhibit. She said her parents helped make her childhood as happy as possible. The exhibit doesn't delve into their divorce, but Lisa said when the marriage was ending she was never aware of it."They never showed it. He'd come over in the middle of the night. They would go to school together for meetings. I never knew it. They did a good job."

And I had no idea about the AI partly owned by Michael. OMG !
