Pensacon, the Gulf Coast’s premier fan event, is excited to announce that actress, businesswoman, author, and pop culture icon Priscilla Presley will join the lineup for its 2025 convention, scheduled for Feb. 14-16, 2025, in downtown Pensacola.
Priscilla Presley became an instant audience favorite portraying Jenna Wade on Dallas, the most successful evening “soap opera” style television drama of its time. She then displayed her comedic talents in the box office smash The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!, reprising her role in The Naked Gun 2½ and The Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult.
The former wife of music legend Elvis Presley, she became co-executor of the Presley Estate in 1979, and has since brought the Presley Estate from a burgeoning entity into a phenomenally successful organization consisting of the famous Graceland Mansion, a worldwide licensing program, merchandising, music publishing, and television and video projects. She is the mother of the late musician Lisa Marie Presley and the grandmother of Emmy-nominated actress Riley Keough. Her 1985 memoir, Elvis & Me, was adapted into a 1988 TV miniseries as well as the 2023 film Priscilla, written and directed by Sofia Coppola, on which she served as an executive producer.
Presley joins a star-studded lineup for Pensacon 2025 which also includes Academy Award nominee Mariel Hemingway (“Manhattan,” “Star 80,” “Personal Best”); “Hazbin Hotel” stars Ericka Henningsen, Blake Roman and Amir Talai; a gigantic reunion of the Colonial Marines from the seminal 1986 sci-fi film, “Aliens,” featuring actors Michael Biehn, Mark Rolston, Cynthia Scott, Daniel Kash, William Hope, Jenette Goldstein and Rico Ross; the main voices of the “Halo” video game series, Steve Downes (Master Chief) and Jen Taylor (Cortana); All-Elite Wrestling (AEW) superstars Deonna Purrazzo and Orange Cassidy; motion-capture actor Allan Henry (Kong in “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire,” the title character in “Cocaine Bear”); and character actor Phil Morris (“Smallville,” “Seinfeld,” “Atlantis: The Lost Empire”).
