Riley Keough

Daughter of the late Lisa Marie Presley and musician Danny Keough, Riley Keough is the eldest grandchild of late icon Elvis Presley. At age 15, she began a career in modeling, appearing in shows for Dolce & Gabbana and Christian Dior. In August 2004, she was featured on the cover of Vogue magazine alongside mom Lisa Marie and grandmother Priscilla Presley.

Riley made her film debut as Marie Currie in the 2010 rock biopic The Runaways, starring alongside Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. She subsequently worked on The Good Doctor (2011), Magic Mike (2012), Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) and The Lodge (2019). She starred in a string of notable independent movies — including It Comes at Night (2017), Hold the Dark (2018) and Zola (2020).

She has had TV roles in Starz’s The Girlfriend Experience and Prime Video’s The Terminal List. Riley will headline the highly anticipated TV adaptation of the Taylor Jenkins Reid novel Daisy Jones and the Six in March 2023.

In February 2015, the actress wed stuntman Ben Smith-Petersen, whom she met while filming Mad Max: Fury Road. The pair tied the knot in Napa, California. Us Weekly confirmed in January 2023 that the couple had secretly welcomed their first child, a baby girl.

Riley has two half-sisters, twins Harper and Finley, from her mother’s fourth marriage to Michael Lockwood. Her younger brother, Benjamin Keough, died by suicide in July 2020.
