Riley Keough is an Emmy nominated actress and producer who has starred in hit shows like

Daisy Jones and the Six. She's also part of one of the most famous families in American pop culture.

Her grandfather is Elvis Presley, and her mom is Lisa Marie Presley.

Lisa Marie asked Riley to help her write her memoir, then weeks later passed away. Riley decided

to honor her memory and finish her mother's memoir using her notes and recordings. The memoir,

from here to the Great Unknown, is written in both Lisa Mrees and Riley's voice,

and is a story about love, addiction, grief, and the great unknown. I sat down with Riley,

who opens up about what it was like to listen to the tapes of her mother for the first time,

as she recounts some of her most painful and joyful moments. She reveals how she filled in the gaps of her mother's story, the meaning behind the title of the book, and what she hopes readers take away from her mother's life.

What did people say about how they found your book with your mom to be?

The thing that I loved hearing the most was how much it connected with people's really personal

experiences, whether that was with, you know, the mother and daughter relationship or experience

in grief or with addiction or just family.

Like there's so much family stuff in it that I think there are a lot of things that people relate to.

And I think a lot of the time, there's something about my family that feels maybe like very far removed or not close or human.

And I think a lot of the book responses have felt very personal. It's

felt very personal to people and relatable. And that's kind of what I was hoping for. And that's what I

know my mom wanted. So when I get those types of messages or people say those types of things where it was,
