Riley Keough was thrust into a world of musical legends from the moment she was born in 1989.
She is the very first granddaughter of Elvis Presley, born to his only daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, who the late singer shared with his ex-wife, Priscilla Presley.
Plus, her connection to music history surpassed her own family, as for two years after she turned five years old, she had none other than Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, as her stepfather.
