“By day, Priscilla went to Catholic school in Memphis for her senior year, and at night she would party with Elvis,” Coppola said. “I found that reality fascinating: She wasn’t allowed to have friends over to Graceland, and she’d hear other girls whispering about her. She was so isolated.
She continued, “It was strangely relatable: In my 20s, I remember having a crush on a guy, and part of it was, if I was with him, then I wouldn’t have to develop an identity of my own: I could just be the girlfriend of this guy, and that would be so much easier. I was devastated when that relation- ship didn’t work out.”
Coppola added, “But it forced me to find my own personality, and that’s a similar story to what happened with Priscilla—she lost herself in Elvis.”

The director also talked about her father, “The Godfather” director Francis Ford Coppola, casting her in his own films while she was growing up.

My father cast me because I was around, and he loved to include his family in his work,” she recalls. “Rob Lowe was in ‘The Outsiders’, and he and his girlfriend at the time, Melissa Gilbert, took me out for ice cream to Rumpelmayer’s when we were back in New York.”

Michaela Zee Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi attended the North American premiere of Sofia Coppola‘s “Priscilla” at the New York Film Festival on Friday night, where they sat down for a post-screening Q&A to discuss the biographical drama. “I got really lucky to actually sit down with Priscilla herself and ask her all the questions I wanted to,” Spaeny explained to the audience, adding that their conversation helped her “know where I was trying to go and what I wanted to say throughout those years playing her.” The production was completed on a tight deadline of 30 days, with producer Youree Henley emphasizing the team’s doubts that they could “make this in less than 35 days.” Spaeny said the hair, makeup and costumes acted like her “anchor of where I was in the storylines.” “We shot it in 30 days and also out of order, so I’d be pregnant in the morning, and then after lunch I’d be 14 years old,” she said with a laugh.
