Ann-MargretFor over four decades Ann-Margret has entertained audiences has with her triple threat of talent of singing, acting and dancing.She began her career as a fresh faced actress with a bit of a sassy attitude. Some of her earlier films include "Bye Bye Birdie", " Viva Las Vegas" and " Kitten with a Whip". Rumors persisted about a romance to Elvis Presley. During this time she was also a recording star for RCA. Over the next few decades Ann Margret took on projects which would earn her 2 Oscar nominations for best actress, 5 Emmy Awards and 10 Golden Globe Awards. One of her Oscar nominations was for her role as Mrs. Walker in "Tommy". This was the film in which I first remember seeing Ann Margret. To this day the scene of Ann Margret rolling around in soap and mud is still a treat indeed ! While recently watching "Tommy" the though occurred to me that Nicole Kidman bears a striking resemblance to Ann Margret. You be the judge. |
