An Oprah Special: The Presleys on 10 – On Wednesday, 9 October, Network 10 will present An Oprah Special: The Presleys, direct from the US. In this exclusive interview, Oprah Winfrey sits down with Riley Keough, the granddaughter of the king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley, for an intimate conversation about her life, her mother Lisa Marie’s life, and her famous family.
In the special, Oprah Winfrey travels to the historic Graceland Mansion in Memphis, Tennessee, to sit down with Riley, the first-born grandchild of Elvis, in her first in-depth interview since her mother died unexpectedly in 2023.
Before her death, Lisa Marie recorded hours of stories from her remarkable, one-of-a-kind life, for a memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown, which Riley finished co-writing and will be available for sale on Wednesday, 9 October.
Riley shares what the writing process was like, as well as stories and memories of her mother. Also featured are never-before-seen family photos and home videos, as well as selections of Lisa Marie’s personal audio recordings, including memories of her father, about whom Lisa Marie begins the book by writing: “I felt my father could change the weather. He was a god to me. A chosen human being.”
Riley, herself an Emmy-nominated actress and director, opens up to Oprah about the extreme highs, lows and pressures of being a Presley, and the deep, profound relationship she had with her mother.
The memoir, which Oprah and Riley discuss in detail, is a stunning look inside one of the most famous and legendary American families, detailing Lisa Marie’s idyllic but wild childhood years with Elvis, Elvis’ shocking death, her challenging teen years in the wake of her father’s death, her marriages, her devotion to her children and her agonising descent into addiction.
