Lisa Marie's parents, Elvis and Priscilla, had tried to give her a normal childhood, despite their divorce and Elvis' death when she was 9 years old, but also despite the enormous fortune that Lisa Marie had built after severing Colonel Tom Parker from Elvis' legacy.
Michael's parents, Joe and Katharine, made no such effort. And Joe would have stopped Katharine had she tried. Joe was determined to make his children superstars, especially Michael, the most talented one, as a money machine for him. It's bad enough when Colonel Parker takes over for your father, but when your father is a "Colonel Parker"...
Michael had turned to Lisa Marie for comfort during the first set of accusations against him. She thought she could help him control his drug use. She couldn't. The marriage lasted less than two years.
Some men are obsessed with Elvis Presley. Two men were obsessed enough to marry Lisa Marie: Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage.
In 1996, shortly after the divorce was final, Michael Jackson married Debbie Rowe. Together, they had 3 children: A daughter named Paris, and sons named Michael Jr. and Prince Michael. Michael Jackson died from drugs on June 25, 2009. He was 50 years old.
In addition to Michael and Nic Cage, Lisa Marie was married to Danny Keough first, and Michael Lockwood last. She had 4 children: Model-actress Riley and musician Ben with Keough, and twin daughters Finley and Harper with Lockwood.
UPDATE: Lisa Marie Presley died on January 12, 2023, from complications from a recent surgery. She was 54.
