Priscilla Presley was born Priscilla Ann Wagner on May 24, 1945 in Brooklyn, New York City, to Anna Lillian (Iversen) and James Frederick Wagner, a US Navy pilot. Her stepfather, Paul Beaulieu, was an Air Force officer stationed in West Germany. There, as a teenager, Priscilla met Elvis Presley in 1959, then four years into his meteoric career in rock and roll and serving with the United States Army. After an eight-year courtship, she married him on May 1, 1967. As their marriage was winding down, she began studying karate and acting. After his death, she went into business and began work in movies and television, notably playing the part of Jenna Wade (1983-88) in the successful soap opera Dallas (1978). She more recently established herself as Jane Spencer in the "Naked Gun" movies (Y a-t-il un flic pour sauver la reine? (1988)).
