10.MARRIED MAN: Elvis poses with his bride, Priscilla Beaulieu, whom he married on May 1, 1967. "The first six months I spent with him were filled with tenderness and affection," Priscilla wrote in her 1985 memoir, Elvis and Me. "Blinded by love, I saw none of his faults or weaknesses. He was to become the passion of my life." Priscilla was only 14 when she met then-24-year-old Elvis in Germany; their relationship consisted mostly of time alone with Elvis talking and some cuddling and necking, but nothing else, PEOPLE noted in February 1996. "We have plenty of time, Little One," Elvis told her. "There'll be a right time and place, and when the moment comes, I'll know it." The two kept in close touch after Elvis returned to the United States, and in 1963, they convinced her parents to let her move to Graceland and finish her last year of high school in Memphis. She adapted to his lifestyle, even dabbling in drugs, dressed how he wanted her to and stayed with him through his widely reported liaisons with costars while he was away filming movies. Elvis gave Priscilla a 3.5-carat diamond ring in December 1966, and the couple married five months later in Las Vegas.
