Kim Kardashian called Priscilla Presley before her dad, Robert Kardashian Sr., died in September 2003. Priscilla, now 80, briefly dated the late Robert after her 1973 divorce from Elvis Presley. Years later, Kim called Priscilla from her father's hospital room. "Robert and I had one last conversation before he died," Priscilla wrote in her book Softy, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis, released on Tuesday, September 23. "He was the kindest of men, and I remember him with great affection." Robert died at age 59 following a brief battle with esophageal cancer.
