Lisa Marie PresleyLisa Marie Presley (born February 1, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee) is an American singer, daughter of the singer Elvis Presley and his wife Priscilla Beaulieu Presley.

Lisa Marie is a close friend of her father's ex-girlfriend Linda Thompson. In 2003, after advice from Thompson's record producer and then-husband David Foster, she launched a career as a singer. Her debut album was called To Whom It May Concern. The album reached #5 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and was certified Gold. To promote it she presented a concert in the UK, something that her father never did. Presley released her second album, Now What, in 2005 and it reached #9 on the Billboard 200. It was certified Gold in November 2005. Now What was her first album to have a Parental Advisory sticker. Although, an edited version of the album is available.

Lisa Marie attended a variety of schools, mostly boarding schools, especially some in Los Angeles County, and also in Ojai, Ventura County, California. She was expelled from at least one boarding school due to illegal drug abuse, especially cocaine. She was briefly a student at a Church of Scientology school in Los Angeles.

Marriages & Divorces
Presley married her first husband Danny Keough on October 3, 1988. They had two children together, Danielle Riley, born May 29, 1989 and Benjamin Storm, born October 21, 1992. Lisa Marie divorced Keough on May 6, 1994.

Two weeks after the divorce became official, Lisa Marie married Michael Jackson on May 18, 1994. The marriage lasted 20 months. There was speculation that Jackson, who owns The Beatles catalog, wanted to buy Elvis Presley's catalog too - although he already owned several Elvis Presley songs as part of his Sony/ATV Music Publishing company. There was also wide speculation Jackson married Presley for various public relations purposes, and that she married him for his money, or to recruit him into the Church of Scientology. The two divorced on January 18, 1996.

On August 10, 2002 she married Academy Award-winner Nicolas Cage, someone well-known for his Elvis Presley-obsession. They were together for only three months and divorced in 2002.

On January 22nd 2006, Presley married her guitarist, Michael Lockwood.

The story of her parents' life together, and her birth and childhood until her father's passing away in 1977, was recounted in her mother's 1985 book, Elvis and Me.

Scientology
Presley and her mother were both introduced to the Church of Scientology by John Travolta. She had begun using drugs such as cocaine at age thirteen, but with active help from the Church was reportedly free of drugs by the age of seventeen, although she claims that she was never addicted to drugs.

In 2002, she and businessman Neil Bush (brother of President George W. Bush) testified together before a hearing of the United States Congress to speak out against medicating children for mental disorders, a practice which is forsworn by the Church of Scientology. [1]

In December 2005, Presley and her mother both appeared at the gala opening of Scientology's controversial "Psychiatry: An Industry of Death" Museum, which puts forth a conspiracy theory connecting Adolf Hitler to the psychiatric profession. [2]
