ELVIS & PRISCILLA Secrets of their Wild Romance

The story of Elvis and Priscilla Presley's epic romance seems almost too fantastical to be true. The biggest celebrity on the planet bonded with a shy teen and whisked her away from her parents into his chaotic world. When they met, she was 14, he was 24. He made her the envy of women everywhere. She made him the center of her universe. "He became my father, husband and very nearly God," Priscilla explained in her 1985 memoir Elvis and Me. Though he had many faults, Priscilla overlooked them-until one day she couldn't. She was, she wrote, "blinded by love."

The complicated dynamic takes center stage in the new film Priscilla, which recounts the tumultuous romance from her perspective. Oscar-winning writer-director Sofia Coppola-who adapted the script from Elvis and Me and consulted Priscilla-shows the bond between the pair but doesn't shy away from the darkness, including Elvis's temper and his wandering eye. Cailee Spaeny, who plays Priscilla opposite Jacob Elordi's Elvis, calls the Presleys' relationship "a wild fairy tale that has all these ups and downs." Here's a look at key moments from their 14 years together.

Priscilla moved to Graceland as a teen.

Elvis met Priscilla Beaulieu in West Germany in 1959, where Priscilla's stepdad worked as a U.S. Air Force captain. Elvis, who'd been drafted into the U.S. Army in 1957 when he was already a superstar, was stationed nearby. The two began a then-chaste romance after connecting at a party. "I was more of a listener," Priscilla said before the film's premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September. "Elvis would pour his heart out to me."
