Book Vs. Movie: Priscilla The 1985 Memoir Elvis & Me Vs. the 2023 Sofia Coppola Adaptation The Margos covered Priscilla Presley’s 1985 memoir Elvis and Me, pairing it with the 1988 TV movie starring Susan Walters and Dale Midkiff. We loved the fact that she was able to share her truth despite the long-standing canonization of her ex-husband, who died in August 1977. Elvis's pill-popping and extracurricular activities with other women were brought up, as well as how they met when she was just 14 years old and he was 24. This was her chance to give her side. Since the “Me Too” era, many stories of beloved men with off boundaries in their relations with much younger women are now looked upon as “grooming,” Sofia Coppola gives an adaptation solely focused on Prisicilla’s point of view. In this ep, the Margos discuss:
