Priscilla Presley was both an unlikely choice and a perfect fit for her role in the Naked Gun movies for all sorts of reasons.
The Big Picture Thanks to the brilliant team of Jim Abrahams, Jerry Zucker, and David Zucker, audiences have been laughing along for 43 years to one of the best comedies ever made, Airplane!

According to a 1988 Los Angeles Times story, David Zucker acknowledged that "we were big Elvis fans and the name held some fascination." They were also looking for someone who had never performed comedy, an actor who could recite the most hilarious piece of dialogue without the slightest suggestion that she understood it was hilarious. In a 1994 interview with journalist Mark Greczmiel, Priscilla Presley talked about meeting with the Zuckers to discuss the first Naked Gun film.
The same goes for when Jane explains to Frank her relationship with the film's villain played by Ricardo Montalbán. "Vincent Ludwig and I, there was never anything between us," Jane says fervently. "He likes East German men." Once again, there isn't a glimmer of wit in Presley's facial expressions or in how she says the line. To Presley, it's a dramatic confessional moment, and she plays it completely straight.
