Riley Keough is set to star in a new Amazon Prime TV show called Daisy Jones and The Six. Not much is known about the new TV show as of yet but it sounds like Keough is the perfect casting. Elvis Presley's granddaughter has carved out a successful career for herself including some groundbreaking roles.

Here are three of her career-defining roles and what makes them so special.

1. The Runaways

1. Keough played rockstar Marie Currie. Known for kick-butt attitude and gorgeous look the rockstar was certainly one to draw attention to herself. Keough received raved reviews for her performance even though the film didn't so that well. Why was this defining for Keough? This was the film that began her career. The role that defined her career as an actress.

2. Mad Max: Fury Road

1. While Keough didn't have a huge speaking part in this film, she was still apart of a film that received great reviews and actually did well as a sequel to another film. The role showed that she has the range to be able to play such a gut-wrenching role.

2. The Girlfriend Experience

1. Keough certainly has the beauty to play the role of a high-class call girl but did she have the chops to play such a dramatic role? Keough has certainly made it her mission to take on roles that force her to step out of her box. This is one of those roles. She had admitted that sometimes it isn't easy but she loves every second of it.

Why was this role defining for Keough? This was the film that began her career. The role that defined her as an actress. She as no longer just Elvis Presley's granddaughter. She was carving out a name for herself. Keough was in great company on set and we can assume she may have gotten a little acting advice from her co-star Dakota Fanning.

The role showed that she has the range to be able to play such a gut-wrenching role. Keough's character was one of Immortan Joe's pregnant girlfriends ( if you can call them that). She and a few of her sister wives decided to make a break for it. Which is what causes all the excitement in this fast-paced film.
