On August 16th, the world took to the internet to commemorate the King of Rock and Roll who’s untimely death at just 42-years-old shook the world back in 1977. Fans old and new remembered Presley not only for transforming the face of rock and roll, but also for being a movie star and American veteran.

The King may no longer be with us, but his legacy lives on with his family, including one member he never got to meet.

Riley Keough, Elvis’ granddaughter, is the spitting image of her late grandfather.

Keough is the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley who was just 9-years-old when her father passed away. Lisa Marie followed in her father’s footsteps and had a successful singing and acting career of her own.

Lisa Marie married her first husband, Danny Keough, and gave birth to Riley shortly after in 1989.

Although the 28-year-old was never able to meet her grandfather, the model and actress’ resemblance to him is uncanny. From her piercing blue eyes to her charming smile, there is no doubt that she’s Elvis Presley’s granddaughter.

Just take a look at the resemblance for yourself.

She even has her grandfather’s famous widow’s peak.

And clearly, successful entertainment careers run in the Presley family’s blood.

We think Elvis would be very proud of his granddaughter if he could see her today.

Keough began her acting career in 2012 with a role in the movie The Runaways alongside Kristin Stewart and Dakota Fanning.

While she’s continued to act in numerous independent films, she’s also played parts in some bigger name productions, such as Magic Mike and Mad Max: Fury Road. She is without a doubt a very talented actress winning independent film awards as well as breaking out in her own leading role in a Starz series called The Girlfriend Experience.

Her performance in the series won her a Golden Globe award this past year.

Although Keough never got the chance to meet her grandfather, we think these two stars would have hit it off. From looks, to acting chops, they seem like they could have been two peas in a pod.

And while it’s hard not to compare Keough to her grandfather–especially every year around the anniversary of his death–we can absolutely say that she has successfully made a name for herself in Hollywood and the entertainment world.
