Priscilla Presley

She has lived with actor Marco Garibaldi since 1984; their son, Navarone, was born in 1987. The Craterian Ginger Rogers Theater in Medford, Oregon is named in her honor. 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. Ginger Rogers died in 1995 and was interred in the Oakwood Memorial Park Cemetery in Chatsworth, California. After their divorce, Lisa lived with Priscilla. In 1961, she married her fifth husband, director and producer William Marshall, but separated from him within weeks of their marriage, eventually divorcing him in 1969. 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. In 1953, she married her fourth husband, lawyer Jacques Bergerac (16 years her junior, he became an actor and then a cosmetics company executive); they divorced in 1957 and he soon remarried actress Dorothy Malone.

Although he would spend hours alone with her in her bedroom, Priscilla wrote that Elvis never made any advances toward her. In 1943, she married her third husband, Jack Briggs, a Marine; they divorced in 1949. 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. In 1934, she married her second husband, actor Lew Ayres (1908–1996); they separated quickly and were divorced in 1941. Incredibly, Elvis managed to talk the Beaulieus into allowing Priscilla to live with him at Graceland, his Memphis mansion. She first married her dancing partner Jack Pepper (real name Edward Jackson Culpepper) on March 29, 1929; they divorced in 1931, having separated soon after the wedding. Priscilla was only 14 years old when they met. This close mother-daughter relationship has been proffered to explain at least in part Rogers's history of marital disappointment.

The Beaulieus were stationed in West Germany at the same time Elvis was during his stint in the United States Army. She was a conservative Republican politically, and lived for much of her life with her mother, Lela Owens McMath Rogers (1891–1977), a Christian Scientist who was a newspaper reporter, scriptwriter, movie producer, one of the first women to enlist in the Marine Corps, and a founder of the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals. Her mother soon married Paul Beaulieu, a United States Air Force officer. In 1940 Ginger Rogers won the Academy Award for Best Actress, for her starring role in Kitty Foyle. Her biological father, James Wagner, died shortly after she was born. In 1939, she played opposite David Niven in Bachelor Mother. She and Elvis are the parents of singer Lisa Marie Presley. Her first roles were in a trio of short films made in 1929 — Night in the Dormitory, A Day of a Man of Affairs, and Campus Sweethearts.

They were divorced in 1973 (Presley died in 1977). She is most remembered as Fred Astaire's romantic interest and dancing partner in a series of ten all-singing all-dancing Hollywood musicals, but her acting career spanned over thirty years. 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. Virginia Katherine McMath (July 16, 1911 – April 25, 1995), better known as Ginger Rogers, was an American actress and dancer. Variants include "Astaire gave her class, and Rogers gave him sex" and "He gave her class, and she gave him sex.". "Fred gave Ginger class, and Ginger gave Fred sex." Katharine Hepburn, actress.

"Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, and she did it backwards and in high heels." Faith Whittlesey, former US ambassador to Switzerland. Responsibility for this quote also has been traced to a 1982 Frank and Ernest cartoon.
