A beloved actress, producer, and cultural icon, Presley is known around the world for her unforgettable role as Jenna Wade on the hit television series Dallas, seen by over 300 million viewers globally each week during its run. Presley quickly became a fan favorite, holding audiences spellbound with her dynamic portrayal during her five-year tenure on the series.
Beyond Dallas, Presley showcased her talent in film with the wildly successful Naked Gun comedy trilogy, as well as family and television projects including Breakfast with Einstein, Haley Wagner Star, Melrose Place, Touched by an Angel, and Spin City, where her guest appearances drew record-breaking ratings.
In addition to her celebrated acting career, Presley is internationally respected for her business acumen and dedication to preserving the legacy of Elvis Presley. Since becoming co-executor of the Presley Estate in 1979, she transformed it into a global brand through Graceland, music publishing, merchandising, and partnerships with companies like Authentic Brands Group, where she serves as an advisor.
Her work as an executive producer on the critically acclaimed album If I Can Dream helped it top charts around the world, reinforcing her role as a steward of Elvis’ enduring cultural impact.
A passionate philanthropist, Presley has long supported causes close to her heart, serving as an ambassador for the Dream Foundation and advocating for animal welfare through her work with the Humane Society of the United States.
Priscilla Presley’s appearance at The Dixie promises an inspiring evening filled with personal insights, behind-the-scenes stories, and a glimpse into a life lived in the spotlight.
