Priscilla Presley

She has lived with actor Marco Garibaldi since 1984; their son, Navarone, was born in 1987. Having been awarded an OBE in 1993, Routledge was given a CBE in 2004. Priscilla portrayed Jenna Wade on the soap opera Dallas from 1983 to 1988, and starred opposite Leslie Nielsen in The Naked Gun spoof movie trilogy. Some Harry Potter fans have suggested Routledge for the role of Dolores Umbridge for the movie Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2006 or 2007). After their divorce, Lisa lived with Priscilla. In the United States, in addition to her Tony Award-winning role in Darling of the Day, she appeared in a number of short-lived musicals including the legendary 1976 flop, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Indeed, their wedding night (May 1, 1967), was the first - and only - time they were intimate; Lisa Marie was born exactly nine months later on February 1, 1968. Routledge was last seen in the West End in 2004 in The Solid Gold Cadillac.

Although he would spend hours alone with her in her bedroom, Priscilla wrote that Elvis never made any advances toward her. A recent BBC radio dramatisation of Carole Hayman's "Ladies of Letters" sees Patricia playing pensioner Vera Small in a two-hander with Prunella Scales (as Irene Spencer), a gentle, quintessentially British comedy where the two ladies exchange letters (more recently e-mails) full of acerbic comment and ironic asides. In her autobiography, Priscilla recounted how Elvis would stay up all night and sleep most of the day; if he wanted to go out, he'd rent out the venue so no fans would bother him. She has also played several real-life characters on television, including Barbara Pym and Hildegard of Bingen. Incredibly, Elvis managed to talk the Beaulieus into allowing Priscilla to live with him at Graceland, his Memphis mansion. In 1996, she took the lead in another long-running series, this time a drama, Hetty Wainthropp Investigates. Priscilla was only 14 years old when they met. It was in 1990 that she first played the comic role of Hyacinth Bucket, an originally working-class woman with social pretensions (for example, she insists on pronouncing her surname "Bouquet").

The Beaulieus were stationed in West Germany at the same time Elvis was during his stint in the United States Army. Her numerous television appearances, including roles in Coronation Street and several BBC drama serials, failed to make her a household name until the 1980s, when she appeared, amongst other things, in Victoria Wood's comedy series, and Alan Bennett's Talking Heads series of short plays. Her mother soon married Paul Beaulieu, a United States Air Force officer. Around this time, she also acted alongside Sidney Poitier in the film To Sir, With Love. Her biological father, James Wagner, died shortly after she was born. Her appearance in Darling of the Day won her a Tony Award in 1968 (she shared the honor that year with Leslie Uggams, who also won for Hallelujah, Baby!). She and Elvis are the parents of singer Lisa Marie Presley. She appeared in many stage productions, including musicals, and made her Broadway debut in 1966.

They were divorced in 1973 (Presley died in 1977). She was born at Birkenhead in Cheshire, and educated at the University of Liverpool, going on to act at the Liverpool Playhouse. She went on to study at the Bristol Old Vic's theatre school. Priscilla Presley (born Priscilla Ann Wagner on May 24, 1945 in Brooklyn, New York) is an actress and the only wife of singer Elvis Presley. Patricia Routledge (born 17 February 1929) is a popular British actress, best known for television roles such as Hyacinth Bucket in Keeping Up Appearances.
