- [Alex] Elvis's attraction
to Priscilla was immediate.
But their love story was unconventional.
He was the superstar who'd been drafted
and sent to an army base in Germany.
Priscilla Beaulieu was
the teenager step-daughter
of a US Air Force major.
They met at a party.
Do you remember the first
time you laid eyes on him?
- Yes, I do, very much so.
I was only 14, actually
only three months into 14
and visited him at his home.
- 'Cause he was a superstar.
- Of course, my God he was
on top of his game.
- He was 24.
- He was 24 years old, yeah.

Italian: 
- Perché ogni uomo avrebbe
voluto essere Elvis.
- Vero.
- Potrei farmelo fare anch'io.
- Beh, lui... Ha dettato
lo stile di molte cose.
La moda, ovviamente, il suo
taglio, il suo sorrisetto,
il suo colletto alto
e i suoi occhi.
- I suoi occhi.
Sembra un bellissimo gatto.
- Mio Dio.
- [Annunciatore] Elvis
sfoggia un nuovo look.
Un, due, tre, quattro.
♪ I got to hup two, three, four ♪
- [Alex] L'infatuazione di Elvis
per Priscilla fu immediata.
Ma la loro love story è
stata poco convenzionale.
Era una celebrità che era stata scelta
e inviata in una base
militare in Germania.
Priscilla Beaulieu era la
figlia adottiva adolescente
di un maggiore dell'aeronautica.
Si incontrarono a una festa.
Ricorda la prima volta che lo vide?
- Sì, come se fosse ieri.
Avevo solo 14 anni,
compiuti da soli tre mesi,
quando sono andata a trovarlo a casa sua.
- Perché era una celebrità.
- Esatto. Ed era la migliore
nel suo campo.
- Aveva 24 anni.
- Esatto.

English: 
- What were your dear parents
thinking to allow that?
- My parents were a nervous wreck.
Elvis came in full uniform
which my dad liked a lot.
And shook his hand.
And they started talking right away,
I mean for an hour and
I'm looking at my watch,
he's taking up my time.
