Julia Roberts Set To Voice Lisa Marie Presley’s Memoir Audiobook Alongside Riley Keough: ‘It Was A Real Privilege’

As a dedicated follower of biographies and memoirs, I am thrilled by the upcoming audiobook adaptation of Lisa Marie Presley’s From Here to the Great Unknown. Having grown up listening to Elvis Presley’s music and being fascinated by his daughter’s life story, this project resonates deeply with me.


Julia Roberts and Riley Keough are teaming up to transform Lisa Marie Presley’s memoir, “From Here to the Great Unknown,” into an intriguing audiobook. This memoir is set for release on October 8th and will feature both Roberts’ and Keough’s voices, as well as previously unreleased interviews of Presley.

As a passionate admirer, I couldn’t help but be utterly captivated by the mesmerizing memoir penned by Lisa Marie. It was an unparalleled honor to breathe life into her extraordinary and enchanting tale, and I am deeply grateful to Riley for entrusting me with the sacred story of his mother.

This memoir offers an intimate glimpse into significant moments in Lisa Marie’s life, encompassing her upbringing as the child of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, various romantic relationships she has had, and her experiences as both a mother and a grandmother.

The book also delves into other challenging events, like her struggles with drug addiction, her profound grief following her father’s passing, and tragically, the suicide of her son, Benjamin, in 2020.

Expressing great admiration for Julia Roberts’ participation in the project, Riley shared with the media, “I simply couldn’t envision a better fit to help narrate her tale globally.

After Lisa Marie’s death due to a small bowel obstruction, her daughter Riley Keough undertook completing the unfinished memoir as a promise to her mother. To give the memoir the right context, details, and depth, Riley utilized her mother’s recordings.

According to People, Riley intends for the memoir to depict Lisa Marie in a multi-layered way, primarily distancing from the general perception of her as simply Elvis Presley’s daughter.

She desires the memoir to highlight her mother’s humility, wit, gentleness, and resilience emotionally. In her correspondence to the publication, she expresses, “I aim to give my mother a voice that she couldn’t have during her lifetime.

In this upcoming audiobook, listeners will get to hear Lisa Marie’s voice for the first time as she shares her personal journey, a story that can now be pre-ordered. On October 8th, when it is released, you’ll be enveloped in Lisa Marie’s narrative, with Julia Roberts and Riley Keough lending their voices to bring the story to life.
