SHORT TAKES : Presley Avoids a Grand Image

Priscilla Presley says her 3-year-old son and year-old granddaughter are being raised like brother and sister.

The 46-year-old actress says she spoils her granddaughter, Danielle, but “I won’t let her call me Grandma.”

“It has such an image, and I don’t want it,” she said in an interview in Woman’s Day magazine.

Priscilla’s son, Navarone, was fathered by Marco Garibaldi, a 33-year-old Brazilian the actress has known for five years.

Danielle’s mother, 22-year-old Lisa Marie Keough, is the child of Priscilla’s marriage to Elvis Presley, which ended in divorce in 1973.

“When she takes her baby home, mine cries,” Presley said. “She adores him, and he adores her.”

She said she is positive Elvis’ death 13 years ago was not a suicide, and she calls the “sightings” and reports that he is still alive “ridiculous, another way for people to earn a buck.”
