Priscilla Presley|75

Priscilla Presley has been in the spotlight for such a long time, known as Elvis Presley’s girlfriend and then his wife. When she met Elvis as a teenager, she became the center of attention and maintained this state even in the years after their divorce and death. In fact, she was, for a time, the woman behind Elvis Presley Enterprise, which was the company that developed Elvis’ Graceland home and turned it into a top tourist attraction.

Although Priscilla received credit role offers in Hollywood films at the time of their marriage, she had to turn down most of them as Elvis didn’t want her to make a career in Hollywood. Despite his disapproval, Priscilla had a successful run as Jane Spencer in the three crime-comedy Naked Gun films, where she starred alongside Leslie Neilsen. Today, other than the management of Graceland mansion, she also runs her own business and has explored real estate flipping. Since 2003, Presley has been the Ambassador of the Dream Foundation.
