Elvis Presley family: Who is Vernon Presley? Who will play Elvis’ dad in biopic?

It has been reported Elvis had an agreement with Priscilla’s parents that she could only leave Germany if she was looked after by a guardian, and so it was arranged she would move in with Vernon and Dee.

However, it is reported that within a few weeks Priscilla was set up in the main house with her man.

In 1976, as Elvis’ health began to fail, Vernon fired the “Memphis Mafia,” a group of paid people Elvis kept with him while on tour, as a means of cutting back on “expenses.”

Only a year later, in 1977, Elvis died, and Vernon was named an executor of his will.

Along with Priscilla, the pair helped to get Graceland up to snuff as a tourist attraction, and when Vernon died in 1979, his share of Elvis’ wealth was passed on to Elvis’ only child, Lisa Marie.
