About Me



To My Very Loyal and Most Wonderful Fans and Friends: I am so lucky to have your continued love and support. Please feel free to post a comment on Myspace page, as I absolutely adore hearing from everyone. Please understand that I cannot response to personal messages, although I do TRY to read most of them. Enjoy my page, I hope to add to it every now and again!
Here's a slide show made especially for you:


From the small Swedish hamlet of Valsjobyn (pop. 150), I was born on April 28, 1941, and came to the United States with my mother when I was only five, settling in the Chicago area. I was born Ann-Margret Olsson, but became known as Ann-Margret. In the early 1960s, George Burns propelled me into national prominence in Las Vegas. I had a meteoric rise to stardom beginning with LIFE Magazine cover story. This period details my very early film career: "Pocketful of Miracles," "State Fair," "Bye Bye Birdie," "Viva Las Vegas" with Elvis Presley, "Stagecoach," and "The Cincinnati Kid." I married the man of my dreams in 1967, Roger Smith. TV Specials, record releases, Las Vegas nightclub act, and national recognition as a "superstar sex symbol" punctuate my life in the fast paced sixties.
The Seventies truly defined me as a serious actress with Academy Award nominations for my work in "Carnal Knowledge", and "Tommy."
In the 1980s, I grew up. The eighties begin with my winning my first Las Vegas Entertainer of the Year Award. I tour the country with my Vegas act. My film career is full speed ahead, and I stars in her first of several critically acclaimed TV Dramas, and am nominated for three Best Actress Emmy's.
However, my husband Roger is stricken with Myasthenia Gravis, and I am thrust into one of the toughest role of her career... I am in charge of my career, as well as my beloved husband’s battle to survive.
I have to admit, a new, mature Ann-Margret emerges in the 1990s. My beloved husband’s health stabilizes and wonderful and new opportunities abound. I perform live at the Radio City Music Hall. I also tackle new characters in TV Film Dramas and receive re-newed acclaim for my acting. I take on two classics: "Grumpy Old Men," and its sequel, "Grumpier Old Men" with Walter Mathau, Jack Lemmon and Sophia Loren. As you will see, and I hope you agree, I am like a fine bottle of wine... I just keep getting better (and trying harder).
I am truly blessed to have all that I have, and I am thankful for each day that I can share with my Roger, and our family. My fans are also my solace, as they have been loyal, and devoted for all of these years.
For this, I say: THANK YOU, and GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS.


My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I always knew I would meet the man of my dreams, and in 1966, my darling beloved Roger Smith asked for my hand in marriage in one of the most romantics ways- he asked to me to become his wife in New York City on a horse-drawn carriage. From that moment on, he stole my heart, and never has let it go. We have had our ups and downs, but throughout, one thing has remained constant- we are completely in love with one another. And, there is nothing that can break this bound, in this life time!

My darling friend, Elvis. One of the greatest entertainers ever. He left us much too young, and I think about him often. When I watch our movies together, it always makes me smile. This was one of my favorite. Do you know which of our films this is from?
