Director Baz Luhrmann reveals the moving praise Priscilla Presley gave him for his Elvis biopic
Priscilla wed Elvis in 1967, later divorcing in 1973, when she was 27 - and just four years prior to his death.What a movie: The 59-year-old filmmaker was emotional as he reflected on Priscilla's review of the film – which features Austin Butler as the King of Rock and Roll – in which she described the flick about her late former husband as 'outstanding'
But the actor believes that his alter ego should be recognised for his part in making Elvis a megastar. At a press conference for the movie, Baz said: 'No critique, no review was ever going to mean more to us than the one from the woman who was married to him'.
