"My father only comes across as a predator and manipulative.... I don’t read this and see my mother’s perspective of my father."

"I read this and see your shockingly vengeful and contemptuous perspective and I don’t understand why?"

Wrote Lisa Marie Presley to Sofia Coppola, quoted in "Lisa Marie Presley begged Sofia Coppola to change Elvis film/The singer’s late daughter condemned the script of Priscilla, which depicts the early years of her parents’ relationship" (London Times). 

The film is based on Priscilla's memoir.

Lisa Marie Presley died of "'a small bowel obstruction' caused by scar tissue that developed after bariatric surgery years ago."

It says in "Lisa Marie Presley Died From Bowel Obstruction, Officials Say/The singer-songwriter and only child of Elvis Presley died in January after she was found unresponsive, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s office said" (NYT).

Juan M. Carrillo, a deputy medical examiner in Los Angeles County, described Ms. Presley’s health problems after the bariatric surgery as a “known long-term complication of this type of surgery.”... 

For months, she complained of abdominal pain, fevers, vomiting and nausea but did not seek medical attention, according to the report. 

We're told "[t]he report stated that although Ms. Presley had a previous history of drug use, she was sober 'for the past few years'" but also that she "was prescribed opiates after her surgery" and then "another type of medication so that she could be taken off the opiates" and "toxicology results showed 'therapeutic levels of oxycodone' in her blood." Maybe I don't know the meaning of the word "sober."

Goodbye to Lisa Marie Presley.

AP reports: "Lisa Marie Presley — the only child of Elvis Presley — died Thursday after being hospitalized earlier that day, her mother said in a statement. The singer was 54. 'It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us,' Priscilla Presley said in a statement Thursday evening. 'She was the most passionate, strong and loving woman I have ever known.'"

"She sings like Lana Del Rey on Robitussin, and, well, looks something like Lana Del Rey after a couple decades of Robitussin."

An apt description of Lisa Marie Presley singing last night on "American Idol."

"I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much."

"I wanted to 'save him'... from certain self-destructive behavior and from the awful vampires and leeches."

Said Lisa Marie Presley.
