3. Elvis and Priscilla Presley
We come now to the king himself, Elvis Presley. Often regarded as one of the most important cultural figures of the 20th century, the King of Rock n’ Roll shook his hips through the late 50s until his death in 1977. As well as having a string of hit singles and movies and changing music forever, Elvis also had one of the most famous marriages in showbiz.
When Elvis met the young Priscilla Beaulieu at a party, she was only 14 years old at the time. It’s been reported in many biographies about the King that he in fact had to beg her parents in order to keep on seeing her. Not just because of the age difference, she being under age and him being 10 years her senior, but also because Elvis keeping her out past her curfew. The two married when she was older and had Lisa Marie as their only child.
It’s also long forgotten that before Priscilla came on the seen, Elvis was dating someone younger. He really was a Hound dog!
