Ann-Margret

Off I go with another round of subjects from A to Z, starting with Ann-Margret. I don't have to explain to you who she is, do I? :-)


Some people think of Ann-Margret as a singer, others as an actress, and others still as a dancer. In fact, she's all of those things.

Her movies include a slew of Elvis films, as well as more memorable fare such as Carnal Knowledge, Middle Age Crazy, I Ought To Be In Pictures, and Twice In a Lifetime. She even found the time to play Mrs. Walker in the film version of the Who's Tommy.

She's had a few hits as a singer, such as 1961's "I Just Don't Understand," which made it into the Beatles's live repertoire. Ann-Margret is still active as a singer, releasing the album All's Faire In Love in 2008.


Born Ann-Margret Olsson in Sweden, she came to America as a little girl, settling in suburban Chicago with her family. She took to performing early, and she secured a recording contract with RCA (Elvis's label, naturally) at the age of nineteen. Her role as Kim in the 1963 movie version of the musical Bye Bye Birdie made her a star.
