Facts from the biography
The girl was born in America in the spring of 1945. She does not remember her real father. He served in the US Air Force and died when Priscilla was only a few months old. Only in her school years did she find out who her real father was by accidently discovering his photograph in the family archive.
Four years later, mom again married Paul Beaulieu. He was a marine. Since 1949 he entered the service in the US Air Force, having learned to become a pilot, and retired in 1976 as special assistant commander. In the same year, the family moved to California, where Paul began working as a contractor.
The adoptive father gave Priscilla a middle name and last name. Since then, she became Priscilla Ann Beaulieu. She has five stepsisters and brothers.
The family was forced to constantly move from place to place due to the service of the father. When Priscilla was fourteen years old, they settled in Germany, in the town of Wiesbaden. By coincidence, it was at this time and in this city that Elvis Presley served.
The girl met him in one of the clubs. Elvis was ten years older than Priscilla, but this did not become an obstacle to their friendship. Priscilla's father was dissatisfied with her acquaintance with the young man and constantly monitored their meetings.

At that time, Priscilla was only seventeen years old. In Memphis, where Presley's estate was located, she graduated from Immaculate Conception Cathedral School.
