“For those curious about the new filmELVIS, Baz Luhrmann, the director, provided a private screening for me and Jerry Schilling at Warner studios recently,” she said in aFacebookpost at the time. “This story is about Elvis and Colonel Parker’s relationship. It is a true story told brilliantly and creatively that only Baz, in his unique artistic way, could have delivered. Austin Butler, who played Elvis is outstanding.”
“Halfway through the film Jerry and I looked at each other and said WOW!!! Bravo to him … he knew he had big shoes to fill,” Priscilla continued. “He was extremely nervous playing this part. I can only imagine.Tom Hankswas Col Parker in this film. What a character he was. There was two sides to Colonel, Jerry and I witnessed both.”
