Lisa Presley’s daughter: Riley Keough
Riley Keough never followed her parents, Lisa Marie Presley and Danny Keough in the music industry. Nor did she act in the biopic about her grandfather, Elvis Presley. But Riley’s been making a name for herself in showbiz since she was 11. The budding filmmaker made movies all day, every day. She had a master plan: model, make her own money, finish school, and start acting after 18.
