Early life
Cash was born on June 13, 1997, with the name "Megan Haun", but changed her name to "Presley Cash" because she felt it better represented her. Her grandmothers loved Elvis Presley, and the name "Cash" is a family name. When Cash was 8, she and her mother, Sandra Haun, moved from Sunrise Beach, Missouri to Hollywood to work in the entertainment industry. For the first three years they lived there, they slept on the floor of their apartment.{{Cite web |last=Wilson |first=Amy |date=May 27, 2011 |title=From the lake to a taste of stardom |url=https://www.savannahnow.com/story/news/local/2011/05/27/from-lake-to-taste-stardom/64052629007/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230710140642/https://www.savannahnow.com/story/news/local/2011/05/27/from-lake-to-taste-stardom/64052629007/ |archive-date=2023-07-10 |access-date=2023-07-09 |website=Savannah Morning News |language=en-US}}{{Citation |title=Aspiring Actress and Mom on Spending $100K |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzO3PTObpb0 |access-date=2023-07-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230710142333/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzO3PTObpb0 |language=en |archive-date=2023-07-10}} Cash spent her teenage years living in the Oakwood apartments, a temporary housing complex for child actors in Los Angeles.{{Cite web |last=Moraes |first=Lisa de |date=2013-07-19 |title=TLC's 'Raising Fame': Hollywood Career Counseling For Clueless Ingenues |url=https://deadline.com/2013/07/tlcs-raising-fame-follows-fame-seeking-teens-in-hollywood-544957/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230710141945/https://deadline.com/2013/07/tlcs-raising-fame-follows-fame-seeking-teens-in-hollywood-544957/ |archive-date=2023-07-10 |access-date=2023-07-09 |website=Deadline}}
