After Elvis Presley’s death in 1977, followed by the deaths of Presley’s father and grandmother, Priscilla Presley became the executor of Graceland to oversee until her daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, turned 25 years old. Priscilla helped grow the estate, located in Memphis, Tennessee, into a multimillion-dollar enterprise and a popular tourist attraction.
