Oprah Winfrey has scored the first extensive interview with Riley Keough about her family since the death of her mother, Lisa Marie Presley, in 2023. An Oprah Special: The Presleys - Elvis, Lisa Marie And Riley will air simultaneously on CBS and Paramount+.
Winfrey interviewed Keough at the Graceland Mansion in Memphis, Tennessee. The special will be set on the same date as the release of Lisa Marie's posthumous memoir “From Here to the Great Unknown.” The special is described as “an intimate conversation about [Keough's] life, her mother Lisa Marie’s life, and her famous family.”
Keough helped finish the book based on hours of stories that her mother had recorded.
Per CBS: “Riley shares what the writing process was like and stories and remembrances of her mother. Also featured are never-before-seen family photos and home videos, as well as selections of Lisa Marie’s personal audio recordings, including memories of her father, about whom Lisa Marie begins the book by writing: ‘I felt my father could change the weather. He was a god to me. A chosen human being.’
Riley, herself an Emmy-nominated actress and director, opens up to Oprah about the extreme highs, lows and pressures of being a Presley, and the deep, profound relationship she had with her mother.”
In the special, Winfrey and Keough discuss the book’s examination of Lisa Marie Presley’s childhood years with Elvis Presley (and then his death), her teen years, her marriages, her children and her descent into addiction.
The special will air on CBS and Paramount+ on Tuesday, Oct. 8th at 8 p.m
