Riley Keough

Well, my name is Riley Keough and I am the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and Danny Keough and the eldest grandchild of Elvis Presley. That's the sort of the easy, the cliff notes. Tell us about your mama. My mother was Lisa Marie Presley, and she was a wonderfully unique and fierce and incredibly strong woman and mother who had a really... unique life, obviously.

And, you know, I think a lot of human experiences within this unique setting, but she kind of, you know, obviously lost her father and grew up in a very intense situation of being Elvis Presley's only child.

Well, it's something I think about a lot. I'm kind of somebody who's obsessed with like where I came from and what happened to my parents and their parents. And so I know everything, you know, and I always have. And that kind of had nothing to do with Elvis. It was more just like on both sides of my family, I was always very curious.

And I think I always had an instinct of like about sort of carrying that because when I would find these things out about my family members I'd never met, there was an emotional connection to them, you know? And so on that side of the family, there's a long history of poverty for one. My family came from many generations of really kind of extreme poverty and addiction, alcohol abuse, drug abuse.

And she, my mother, you know, also suffered from addiction and And lost her father at nine. And so I think the grief of that really dictated a lot of her life and the way that she wasn't. really able to process it, I think, because of the nature of the grief and how it was a sort of shared grief and it was a global grief.

And so I don't think there was particularly a lot of room for her to have her own grief. So that was really unique. But outside of the Elvis stuff, there is a lot of generational trauma, you know?

scarcity in that way and then turning into sort of like the most famous person in the world and the sort of the money and the the stuff and all of that I would imagine that that would be also kind of hard to process which I think you see all the time but I think that his particular situation was really polarizing because of sort of where he and his family had come from mm-hmm
