Breaking Down the Differences Between "Priscilla" and the Presleys' Real Life

Priscilla is clear in her memoir — and in many, many interviews since — that despite their divorce, she still loved Elvis and continues to do so, making Coppola's decision to use "I Will Always Love You" at the end of the film particularly apt. Both the movie and memoir also end with the divorce (though the beginning of Priscilla's book addresses the moments after she learned Elvis had died).
