World gifted to have known Elvis, says Priscilla Presley

Actor Priscilla Presley said the world was lucky to have had heard a legendary musician and person such as Elvis Presley.

The 72-year-old actor was married to the 'King of Rock and Roll' and recently visited his famous estate Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee, to observe his 40th death anniversary, reported Entertainment Tonight.

"When you come here (Graceland) and you see everything that he accomplished, I think even when he was able to afford so much, he never lost who he was. He was still God-fearing, he still loved to entertain.

"He was very, very generous. He was very authentic. What you see is what you got with Elvis. He wasn't trying to be anyone else. And he was a very, very special human being and we were all gifted to have him," says Priscilla.

The couple got married in 1967 and divorced in 1973.

They have a daughter, actor Lisa Marie, 49.
