Priscilla Presley was a contestant on the ABC reality show Dancing with the Stars. She was the oldest women to ever compete on Dancing with the Stars, but scored 8 out of 10 from each of the judges on her first round of the competition. Presley's partner was Louis Van Amstel. Presley is the former wife of rock and roll legend Elvis Presley as well as an accomplished actress. Presley was voted off of the show on April 15, 2008. Judges reportedly said that her rumba was dull and technically imprecise, and only awarded her 21 out of 30 possible points. Head judge Len Goodman made this comment about her performance, "It lacked spontaneity for me. It was too careful. I was disappointed with the performance." Presley was a good sport and told the judges as she left, "I applaud you. You did a great job." She went on to say, "This has been an incredible experience. It is life-changing. ... I learned so much about myself and all the things I can do."
