Career

Music career

She had a sexy, throaty contralto singing voice,^[14] and RCA Victor attempted to capitalize on the "female Elvis" comparison by having her record a version of "Heartbreak Hotel" and other songs stylistically similar to Presley's.

Rapid rise to Hollywood stardom (–64)

In , Ann-Margret filmed a screen test at 20th Century Fox and was signed to a seven-year contract.^[20] She made her film debut in a loan-out to United Artists in Frank Capra's Pocketful of Miracles with Bette Davis; it is a remake of Capra's own Lady for a Day ().

For her performance Ann-Margret was awarded her first Golden Globe, for New Actress of the Year alongside Jane Fonda and Christine Kaufmann.^[21]

Then came a remake of Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical State Fair, in which she played the "bad girl" role of Emily opposite Bobby Darin and Pat Boone.

She had previously tested for the part of Margie, the "good girl", but the studio bosses deemed her too seductive for that role. In her autobiography, Ann-Margret wrote that the two roles seemed to represent the two sides of her real-life personality.

She was shy and reserved offstage but wildly exuberant and sensuous onstage, transforming "from Little Miss Lollipop to Sexpot-Banshee", in her words. In a retrospective of Ann-Margret's career for FilmInk, Stephen Vagg argued "she wasn't that well cast as a bad girl.

Because she had so much energy and shape, producers thought she was; but she was more powerful in parts closer to what she was in real life: an energetic good girl with a twinkle in the eye."^[24]

Her performance as the all-American teenager Kim in Bye Bye Birdie () made her a major star.

Ann-Margret Olsson born April 28,credited as Ann-Margretis a Swedish-American actress, dancer, and singer with a career spanning seven decades. Initially gaining notoriety in as a singer with a sultry, vibrant contralto voice, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] she quickly rose to Hollywood stardom. She released Born to be Wildher first classic-rock album, in April After Ann-Margret's birth, Gustav wanted to emigrate again with the family.

Its premiere at Radio City Music Hall, 16 years after her first call on to the famed theater, was the highest first-week grossing production to date at the Tune Hall. Life magazine put her on the cover for the second time and announced that the "torrid dancing almost replaces the central heating in the theater."^[26] Her performance earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress.

She was then asked to sing "Baby Won't You Please Come Home" at President John&#;F. Kennedy's private birthday party at the Waldorf Astoria New York, one year after Marilyn Monroe's famous "Happy Birthday to You". A few months later, Ann-Margret voiced an animated version of herself, named "Ann-Margrock", on the television series The Flintstones.^[28] She sang the ballad "The Littlest Lamb" as a lullaby as well as the rocker, "Ain't Gonna Be a Fool".

Ann-Margret met Elvis Presley on the MGM soundstage when the two filmed Viva Las Vegas (). Filmink argued "She had so much energy and pep that she had blown her previous three male co-stars off screen, but Elvis could match her.

He was the best on-screen partner she ever had, and she was his."^[24] She recorded three duets with Presley for the film: "The Lady Loves Me", "You're the Boss", and "Today, Tomorrow, and Forever"; only "The Lady Loves Me" made it into the final film and none of them were commercially released until years after Presley's death, due to concerns by Colonel Tom Parker that Ann-Margret's presence threatened to overshadow Elvis.^[29] Choreographer David Winters was hired because Ann-Margret was his dance student and recommended him for the job.^[30] It was Winters' first choreographer credit on film.

He would go on to become a common collaborator for both Presley and Ann-Margret.

Decline in fortunes and European sojourn (–69)

Bye Bye Birdie and Viva Las Vegas had established Ann-Margret as Hollywood's biggest new star, but a string of box-office flops followed until October The first, Kitten with a Whip, saw Ann-Margret give a "balls-to-the-wall performance" as a juvenile delinquent who entraps a politician.^[24] She followed up with The Pleasure Seekers, yet another musical romantic comedy.

Ann-Margret was excited to do her next project, Bus Riley's Assist in Town; its writer William Inge had penned her favorite film Splendor in the Grass (). However Inge was so infuriated by the result that he took his name off the credits of Bus Riley.

She then featured in Once a Thief, a crime production intended to be a star-making vehicle for French actor Alain Delon in the United States.^[24] The actress learned decades later that during this time she had been offered the title role in Cat Ballou, a critically acclaimed box-office smash that the American Film Institute ranked as the tenth greatest Western film of all time.

Her agent had turned down the role without telling her.^[31][32] Ann-Margret broke her flop streak with The Cincinnati Kid, in which she played a femme fatale opposite Steve McQueen.

It was her first hit since Viva Las Vegas, but her role was not a large one.^[24]

While she was working on Once a Thief, she met her future husband Roger Smith, who after his successful run on the private-eye television series 77 Sunset Strip, was performing a live club show at the hungry i on a bill with Bill Cosby and Don Adams.

Ann-Margret starred in four films in Made in Paris, the first of these, was a fashion-focused passionate comedy in which Ann-Margret received top billing.

servicemen in South Vietnam and other parts of South-East Asia. A moderately victorious remake of the classic John Ford Western Stagecoach followed, with Ann-Margret essaying the role of a prostitute. She then starred in the "hopelessly confused" sex comedyThe Swinger which, in Stephen Vagg's words, "came close to killing her Hollywood career more than any other [film] by virtue of its sheer incompetence."^[24] Ann-Margret ended by featuring in the hit Dean Martin–starrer Murderers' Row, a spy spoof.

Looking at Ann-Margret's uneven draw at the box office, Vagg points out that after Viva Las Vegas, her roles in punch films "had been parts any girl could have played" but the star vehicles that were tailored for her were all flops.^[24]

During a lull in her film career in July , Ann-Margret gave her first stay performance in Las Vegas, with her husband Roger Smith (whom she had married that May) taking over as her manager after that engagement.

Elvis Presley and his entourage came to see her during the show's five-week run and celebrate backstage. According to Ann-Margret's autobiography, Presley sent her a guitar-shaped floral arrangement for each of her Vegas openings.^[34] After the first Vegas run ended, she followed with a CBS television extraordinary The Ann-Margret Show, produced and directed by David Winters on December 1, , with guest-stars Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Danny Thomas, and Carol Burnett.
