Priscilla Presley is 62. She dances like she's 32. She married Elvis Presley when she was almost 22. And her face...Well, that number is still subject to interpretation.
And now that the former first lady of rock 'n' roll is back in the spotlight thanks to her participation in Dancing with the Stars, suspicion has been piqued with regard to how Presley acquired her anachronistically fresh-faced look.
But while hi-def TV forgives nothing, at least "obviously reconstructed" (a look she also sported during an appearance on American Idol a year ago) wasn't what she was aiming for.
TMZ was the first to report this week that in 2003, Presley was one of the high-profile victims of an Argentine plastic surgeon who, peddling a substance he claimed was more effective than Botox, conned women of a certain age into injections of a low-grade silicone better suited to auto assembly lines than laugh and frown lines.
Sources also told the site Presley is currently undergoing corrective work, but the Naked Gun star's rep says her run-in with Dr. Daniel Serrano is long behind her.
"Priscilla Presley was one of many documented victims of Dr. Serrano," publicist Sam Mast said in a statement released Tuesday. "An investigation which uncovered his misconduct ultimately led to his imprisonment. Ms. Presley dealt with this matter years ago and everything is well."
Lionel Richie's now ex-wife, Diane, and Larry King's current missus, Shawn, have also been named as former patients of Serrano's.
Federal agents arrested the doc, who reportedly wasn't licensed to practice medicine in the U.S., in 2004 and charged him with importing and distributing a synthetic substance not yet FDA-approved.
Per the Los Angeles Times, he was sentenced to 18 months in prison in 2006 after pleading guilty to conspiracy, smuggling and use of unapproved drugs. He was released last week, right into the media's open arms.
