After her sudden passing on Thursday, January 12, those who knew her and those who felt they knew her remembered the icon and the life she lived. Despite her fame, Presley’s life was far from easy due to her lifelong position in the public eye. Her struggles were acknowledged by those who knew her, including actor Nicolas Cage and sitcom veteran Leah Remini. Recently, Lisa Maria Presley is in the spotlight even more due to the release of Baz Luhrmann’s film about Elvis, with Austin Butler up for Best Actor in a Leading Role. Sean Ono Lennon, who never met her, shared his thoughts on her death and acknowledged her special place in the world.

In this world, few people have lived their lives in the same way as Lisa Maria Presley. Being the daughter of Elvis, she became one of the most famous people in the world after she was born. After her death, fans of the musician remember the icon and the life she lived.
Lisa Maria Presley went into cardiac arrest on Thursday, January 12, and was rushed to a local hospital, but died the same day. Some of those who knew her, and those who just felt they knew her, remembered Presley. In a statement to THR, actor Nicolas Cage, who was married to Presley for two years, remembered Presley and her son Benjamin, who died in 2020. Cage said:
This is devastating news. Lisa I had the loudest laugh I’ve ever had. She lit up every room and I am heartbroken. I find some comfort in the fact that she was reunited with her son Benjamin.
“Violent” is a word used by many when discussing the life of Lisa Maria Presley. While many might have expected the daughter of one of the world’s biggest stars to have an easy life, Petrushka’s struggles are well known due to her lifelong position in the public eye. Like Presley, sitcom veteran and game show host Leah Remini was once a member of the Church of Scientology and mentioned this in her memoir, saying:
I am heartbroken by the passing of Lisa Marie Presley.
Lisa has not had an easy life as some would think.
May she rest in peace with her son and father now.

Recently, Lisa Maria Presley is in the spotlight even more than usual due to the fact that Elvis himself has again become the talk of Hollywood. This week, Baz Luhrmann’s film about the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll is in the running for the Golden Globe Awards, where Lisa Marie is in attendance and Austin Butler is up for Best Actor in a Leading Role. Rita Wilson, the wife of fellow actor Tom Hanks, opened up on Instagram about meeting Presley while filming the movie.
But except those who knew Lisa Marie Presley, there was everyone who knew about Lisa Marie. From her famous father to her brief marriage to Michael Jackson and her own work in the music industry, she has always been in the public eye. Few, however, were able to understand what it was like to be her. Sean Ono Lennon, who may have held views similar to hers despite never having met her, shared his thoughts on her death.
I came home late from watching a show to hear the tragic news about Lisa Marie Presley. I had only met her a few times briefly. But I have to admit that I felt a kinship with her. Few people know what it is. I know he was a special person. My heart aches for Priscilla.
