Can we just talk about Ann Margret for a hot minute? The Swedish bombshell that stole Elvis Presley's heart. (and mine)


Ann Margret is a Swedish-American actress, singer and dancer, shes a pretty amazing Lady.  Ann was born in Valsjöbyn, Jämtland County, Sweden April 28, 1941. She moved to United States in November 1946. Becoming a a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1949.


Ann is well known for her roles in Bye Bye Birdie, The Swinger and Viva Las Vegas which she starred alongside Elvis Presley. 



Elvis and Ann both referred to each others soulmates.


In her Memior, Ann refers to Elvis as her "soulmate", but very little is revealed of there long-rumored romance, only that "in a moment of tenderness" Elvis bought Ann a round bed in hot pink colours.

In July 1967, Ann Margret gave her first live performance in Las Vegas.Elvis and his entourage came to see her during the show's five week run and to celebrate backstage. from then on Elvis sent her a guitar shapes floral arrangement for each of her Vegas openings.
