Oprah interviews Elvis' granddaughter, Riley Keough, for CBS special, 'The Presleys'
Oprah Winfrey will interview actress/filmmaker Riley Keough — the granddaughter of Elvis Presley — in an Oct. 8 primetime CBS special tied to the release that day of "From Here to the Great Unknown: A Memoir," a book completed by Keough after the death of her mother, Lisa Marie Presley, network officials announced Tuesday.
Set to air at 7 p.m., Memphis time, the show is titled “An Oprah Special: The Presleys — Elvis, Lisa Marie and Riley." Network publicists promise that Keough will engage with Winfrey in “an intimate conversation about her life, her mother Lisa Marie’s life, and her famous family.”
The special will debut four days before Keough returns to Memphis for a public conversation about her family and mother at the Soundstage at Graceland. Announced in July, the 6:30 p.m. Oct. 12 event is another part of the national promotional campaign for the highly anticipated Random House book, which has a publication date of Oct. 8. Tickets to that event are $40 each and are available at graceland.com. The ticket price includes a lithograph and a copy of the book, each signed by Keough.
According to Graceland, Lisa Marie Presley "spent years recording countless hours of riveting, raw, and breathtakingly vulnerable tape for her memoir.
"After Lisa Marie's passing in 2023, her daughter Riley dedicated her time to fulfilling her mother’s wish to share her words and complete her unfinished work. In 'From Here to the Great Unknown,' Lisa Marie and Riley’s voices join together to tell one breathtaking story."
