Showtune Sunday: All About Ann-Margret!
There are stars and then there are stars.
Ann-Margret is the real deal and since she turned 71 yesterday, I thought it would be a good time to celebrate a star who isn’t always appreciated as much as she should be.
She got her start in movies 51 years ago opposite Bette Davis in Pocketful of Miracles then followed that up with major roles in the musicals State Fair and Bye-Bye Birdie.
She went on to star opposite Elvis Presley in Viva Las Vegas and Steve McQueen in The Cincinnati Kid.
She was nominated for an Academy Award and won a Golden Globe for her performance in the musical Tommy. She was also nominated for an Oscar for the drama Carnal Knowledge.
Ann-Margret has been nominated for Emmys for her stellar dramatic work in television movies including Who Will Love My Children?, A Streetcar Named Desire and Life of the Party and finally won for a memorable performance on Law & Order: SVU.
But the focus today is on her music and these clips, I think, are a nice mix of what this gorgeous and talented star can do.

Ann-Margret is a screen legend. Wish she could get one at least one more great musical screen role. She still looks great!

Ann-Margret is still da bomb! To see this kitten with a whip bloom into tigress has been fascinating to watch. Never enough appreciation for this dynamic performer and superstar. Beautiful on the inside as she is one the inside. Roger Smith is one lucky fella.
