July 12, 1995: Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley shoot “You are Not Alone” short film
“"People have asked me this before, it's like, 'Is there a reality to their relationship, and what was going on there?' It was all very fun. They had a great time and great relationship on the set, so the best I can reflect off of is that." […] "There was a lot of laughter between the two of them, smiles, so l thought that was good," he adds. "I was saying, 'We don't have time for you to leave, so just stay on the set right there, and I'm just going to shoot! In a lot of that stuff, in a lot of those shots, you see literally off the cuff because he's not singing during the piece out there on the set with her. It was literally just us. That's the real reaction, the real inner change of smiles and laughter. That was me just picking those shots off."
"He really wanted to have a set that reflected the innocence, the beauty, and the drama, the theatrical drama of Maxfield Parrish and his paintings," says Isham. "Then he had suggested that Lisa Marie be involved in that part of the shoot." […] “The security guard said they've never done a shoot where he hasn't left the scene in between each shoot, so they were just very comfortable with me. He has a sense of humor, and I think that's reflected in just his energy of doing things at that point. So it was great," says Isham. He adds, "I can definitely see [him] from being private to being a little more open when he was with her, and on that shoot itself.”
