“I was touched by his vulnerable, boyish quality,” Priscilla Beaulieu writes in Elvis and Me (1985), the memoir that Sofia Coppola has taken as the basis and inspiration for her new movie, Priscilla.

She always had a home, though the home was never her own. Like her former husband, she lived for many years as an overripe adolescent, nestled inside some nurturing if dysfunctional familial structure. Each of these events could be considered Priscilla’s informal passage into adulthood, but if you subscribe to the notion that adulthood requires a certain measure of independence-that a girl only becomes a woman once she finds herself fatherless, husbandless, tasked with creating a life alone-then Priscilla remained a child until she left Presley at the age of twenty-six. Priscilla Beaulieu was fourteen years old when she met Elvis Presley, seventeen when she left her parents’ house for Graceland, twenty-one when she and Presley married, twenty-two when they had their first and only child together.
