The owner had been Ruth Marie Moore, who later went on to become a celebrated harpist with the Memphis Symphony Orchestra. It's owned now by another Marie, of course - Lisa Marie Presley.

Elvis lived at Graceland from 1957 until he died in August 1977. Two days after his death, Elvis left the building and was buried at Forest Hill Midtown Cemetery. Following an attempt to steal his body from the cemetery, his body was moved back to Graceland and buried in the grounds.
