Season Hubley first gained widespread recognition following her role in the highly watched 1979 television movie Elvis, where she portrayed Priscilla Presley. In the film, Kurt Russell took on the iconic role of Elvis, bringing energy and charisma to the screen, and the two actors were not only working together but also in a romantic relationship at the time. They tied the knot in the same year the movie aired, and their personal and professional lives seemed to move forward in sync.
The couple eventually settled into family life, welcoming a son named Boston in 1980. However, starting a family didn’t slow either of them down in their careers. For Season Hubley, in particular, her professional pace had been building for years even before the spotlight of Elvis. Her acting journey began with a leading role in the 1973 film Lolly-Madonna XXX, where she played a beautiful woman at the center of a dramatic rural feud reminiscent of the famous Hatfield-McCoy rivalry.
Throughout the 1970s, Season continued to build her resume with consistent work in both film and television. She made a guest appearance on the popular police drama Kojak in 1977 and took on a more complex and intense role in the 1979 movie Hardcore, starring opposite George C. Scott as a woman caught in the world of pornography and prostitution.
As the 1980s progressed, Hubley’s personal life shifted—she and Kurt Russell divorced in 1983. While she gradually stepped back from the entertainment industry, she didn’t disappear completely. In the 1990s, for example, she appeared multiple times on the long-running soap opera All My Children in 1992 and made a guest appearance on the original Beverly Hills, 90210 in 1998, reminding audiences of her enduring presence in television.
Season Hubley’s most acclaimed movie is Escape From New York (1981), which remains her highest-rated work to date. On the other hand, her least favorably reviewed film is Stepfather III: Father’s Day (1991), which stands out as the lowest-rated project in her filmography.
