chapter 1: childhood in brooklyn
Priscilla Ann Wagner was born on May 24, 1945, at Brooklyn Naval Hospital in Brooklyn, New York. Her father, James Wagner, was an Air Force officer who was stationed at Fort Hamilton in Bay Ridge. Her mother, Ann, was a homemaker.
When Priscilla was just six months old, her father was killed in a plane crash. Ann was devastated, but she was determined to provide a good life for her daughter. She remarried in 1948 to Paul Beaulieu, another Air Force officer.
Priscilla had a happy childhood in Brooklyn. She grew up in a modest apartment building in the Bay Ridge neighborhood. She was a bright and curious child, and she loved to play with her friends. She also enjoyed reading and going to the movies.
In 1956, the Beaulieus were transferred to Germany. Priscilla was 11 years old at the time, and she was excited to start a new chapter in her life. She quickly made friends at her new school, and she enjoyed exploring the German countryside.
It was in Germany that Priscilla met Elvis Presley. Elvis was stationed in Germany with the Army, and he was a frequent visitor to the American military base where the Beaulieus lived. Priscilla was immediately smitten with Elvis. He was handsome, charming, and talented.
Elvis and Priscilla began dating in 1959, when she was 14 years old and he was 24. Their relationship was controversial, but they were deeply in love. In 1960, Elvis returned to the United States, and Priscilla stayed behind to finish her education.
Priscilla moved to Los Angeles in 1962 to live with Elvis. She enrolled in Immaculate Heart College, a Catholic girls' school. Elvis and Priscilla were married on May 1, 1967, in Las Vegas. They had one daughter together, Lisa Marie, who was born in 1968.
Priscilla's childhood in Brooklyn was a happy and carefree time. She grew up in a loving family and had many friends. She was also exposed to a rich cultural life. Her experiences in Brooklyn shaped her into the person she is today: a strong, independent, and successful woman.
