Growing Up Presley: Fame, Privacy, and a $300K Baby Photo

At 19:58 · chapter starts 18:50

Alex flags that Riley's baby photo sold for $300,000 on the cover of People — a figure Riley corrects, saying in 1989 dollars that was closer to a million. Riley then paints a picture of what it meant to grow up Presley: high security at all times, a press presence everywhere she went, and a family culture of total discretion where even mundane things were treated as sensitive. She describes herself as a very quiet, internal child — not shy, she insists, but someone who simply didn't have a lot to say. She only began pushing herself to be more outwardly communicative when she realized people were interpreting her silence as rudeness. The episode briefly notes the sharp contrast between the extraordinary world she grew up in and her instinct, as a parent herself now, to give her own daughter something more grounded.
