Ann-Margret, a '60s sex symbol who appeared opposite Elvis Presley in 'Viva Las Vegas' and Bobby Rydell in 'Bye Bye Birdie,' continues to support our Vietnam veterans.
Former teen idol Pat Boone recalls meeting Elvis Presley for the first time: ‘He was just a scared young kid’In 1964, the sultry Swedish star appeared oppositeone of the most recognizable films from the singer’s career. For decades, even long after Presley died in 1977 at age 42, many have speculated about their relationship when cameras stopped rolling. For the actress, what happened in Vegas stays in Vegas.
"This was my first real screen kiss, a highlight in my movie career – made more sensual and erotic as a very tempting young Ann-Margret nibbled and ‘played tic-tac-toe’ on my bare chest "I was flattered," she chuckled."The idea that some guy would come up to me and say, ‘Hey, I think you’re sexy,’ oh man, what’s not to love?"like fellow screen siren Marilyn Monroe
But Ann-Margret stressed that her proudest achievement had nothing to do with Hollywood or the many stars she encountered along the way. In 1980, the VVMF was commissioned by U.S. Congress to build a national memorial dedicated to those who served. During her USO tour in Vietnam, her group’s helicopter was attacked by ground fire. Ann-Margret said troops quickly bunched up to shield her from enemy bullets."I was never scared," she said."That never entered my mind. Are you kidding? Those guys would never let me get hurt."
