“Little ‘Yisa Marisa’ as I remember her so lovingly. She was a precious little girl! Shown here she was six years old and had just lost her two front teeth,” Thompson wrote, referring to the first three photos in the Instagram carousel.
The third Polaroid photo in the post dates back to November 1974 and is titled “Snaggle Puss” — a nod to a young Lisa Marie who was then missing her two front teeth.
Thompson continued, “She wanted me to take some pictures of her in my dressing area at the Monovale house. We had such a wonderful relationship for so many years. She’s still a part of my heart.”

“I don’t know how many of you are watching - or have binge watched like I did - @daisyjonesandthesix starring Lisa’s daughter @rileykeough….but if you haven’t you must! It is fantastic!!” Thompson said of Lisa Marie’s daughterRiley Keough, who stars in the Amazon Prime seriesDaisy Jones & the Six.
“There are so many nuances in Riley’s facial expressions that remind me of her beautiful mom. Lisa’s lovely, formidable, powerful presence lives on in her gorgeous and talented daughter.💜👏🙏🏻🌹,” Thompson concluded her caption.

“I will always be profoundly grateful to the little nine-year-old Lisa Marie, who had the presence of mind to call me from Graceland the fateful day her daddy died to give me the news,” said Thompson.
She continued, “I was the first person she called. To me, that spoke volumes of how close we were, and how sure she was of my love for her daddy. In fact, if there is any solace to be found now, it’s in my knowing that Lisa Marie was sure I loved her and her daddy, without reservation and without any agenda…”
