Riley Keough believes she has received signs from her late mother, Lisa Marie Presley, indicating her peace with how the memoir From Here to the Great Unknown was completed. Keough finished the book after her mother’s death in 2023 by listening to recorded memories Presley had made.
The actress, known for Daisy Jones & The Six, felt a strong link to her mother while working on the memoir. She said in an interview at the Academy x Chanel Women’s Luncheon on November 5, “I think if you're open to those things, they're kind of everywhere. I really do believe that.”
“So, I certainly feel connected to whatever that world may be. I do feel connected to it, yeah. There are certainly moments that are very... too weird to not be something,” Keough shared.
Keough did not detail the specific moments when she felt her mother’s presence but revealed she will address these experiences in a “heartfelt afterword” included in the paperback release of the memoir, scheduled for November 11, according to publisher Penguin Random House.
