Another small detail comes once more with the "Viva Las Vegas" Hollywood movie montage. There's a scene in the top left corner of the five panel layout where Elvis is seen doing Priscilla's makeup. This might seem like a small piece of romance between the two, but is really a detail that points toward a larger circumstance between Elvis and Priscilla. Most people might not know that Elvis was very particular about Priscilla's appearance, and actually taught her how to do her makeup.
In Priscilla's memoir, "Elvis and Me," she talked about how Elvis created her, and how she didn't really know who she was as a person without Elvis. She wrote, "He taught me everything. How to dress, how to walk, how to apply makeup and wear my hair, how to behave, how to return love- his way. Over the years, he became my father, husband, and very nearly God." Elvis had a huge control issue with Priscilla, which she didn't take in any nefarious light, but as more of a guidance to creating who she was. However, with no separation between what she wanted and what Elvis wanted for her, it became hard for her to see herself as her own person.
