- Currie Grant was born on January 8, 1932 in Leesville, Louisiana, USA.
- Introduced Priscilla Presley to Elvis Presley. Claims to have had a four-week affair with Priscilla before arranging the meeting, but she strenuously denies this.
- Priscilla Presley filed a lawsuit against Grant in October 1996 for telling biographer Suzanne Finstad that they had sex, stating in her action that his claims were fabrications. On August 19, 1998 Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Daniel Curry found Grant guilty of defamation and ordered him to pay $75,000. (Presley had sued for at least $10 million.) However, Finstad and the publisher of her book weren't sued and say they stand by the account in the book. And in 2010, author Alanna Nash unearthed a confidential settlement agreement between Grant and Presley that puts a different light on the outcome of the court case. On the one hand, it says, Presley can tell the media that she feels "vindicated" by the result of her lawsuit. On the other, Grant will not have to pay a cent in damages provided he never discusses her again in public. Furthermore, while Grant will no longer claim to have had sex with Presley, she will no longer accuse him of attempted rape and will pay him $15,000 for pictures he took when she was a teenager.
- [asked in 2015 about his alleged sexual relationship with Priscilla Presley] I'm still shocked at what went on when I said it before, so I'm not gonna say it.
