'''Ann-Margret Olsson''' (born April 28, 1941) is a [[Swedish]]-[[American]] [[actress]], [[singer]] and dancer.
 
==Early life==
 
Ann-Margret was born in Stockholm, the daughter of Anna (née Aronsson) and Gustav Olsson, a native of Örnsköldsvik. While young she moved with her parents to Valsjöbyn, Jämtlands län, which she later described as a small town "of lumberjacks and farmers high up near the Arctic Circle". Her father worked in the United States during his youth and moved there again in 1942, working with the Johnson Electrical Company, while his wife and daughter stayed behind.


Parameters
Ann-Margret and her mother moved to the United States in November 1946, and her father took her to Radio City Music Hall on the day they arrived. They settled just outside of Chicago in Wilmette, Illinois. She became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1949 and took her first dance lessons at the Marjorie Young School of Dance, showing natural ability from the start, easily mimicking all the steps. Her parents were supportive and her mother handmade all her costumes. Ann-Margret's mother worked as a funeral parlour receptionist after her husband suffered a severe injury on his job. While a teenager, Ann-Margret appeared on the Morris B. Sachs Amateur Hour, Don McNeill's Breakfast Club and Ted Mack's Amateur Hour.
New parameters not containted in the old {{Biobox}} template are red. Remember that you have to add these new parameters manually if you change the {{Biobox to {{Biobox new in an existing page.
Old and now deprecated parameters are struck through.
Parameters that can be referenced have "yes" in the ref column.
Personal 
Parameter  ref  Explanation 
name  -  Name of person. If omitted or blank it defaults to the name of the article. When a name contains foreign characters, this is the place to use them, as the page name itself should be written without those characters to avoid strange URLs.
Example: name = Slađana Petrušić gives  Slađana Petrušić  in the biobox, but the page name is Sladjana Petrusic.
photo  -  An image of the person. Images should be 240 pixels wide.
Example 1: photo = [[Image:ImageName.jpg|240px|Model Name]]
Example 2: photo = [[Image:ImageName.jpg|Model Name]] for images with a width less than 240 pixels
alias  yes  Other names used by the person. Do not add the article name itself here. 
real name  yes  Real name of the person, if she/he is primarily known by a pseudonym or nickname. Only add real names that are widely known and have references; please do not violate people's privacy. 
birth month
birth day
birth year
birth ref  -
-
-
yes  Month (August, aug, 8), day (14 without "th") and year (1980) of birth.
If birth month, birth day and birth year are provided, the current age is displayed:  Born:  August 14, 1980 (1980-08-14) (age 30)
If you want to cite a source for the birth date, add the reference in the birth ref field, not in any of the other three fields.

years active  yes  Years that the person was active in her/his career. This can be free text ("1960s", "1997-present", etc.). 
ethnicity  - Very general ethnicity grouping is used to give some indication of physical appearance, not census-style ethnicity. Please use one of the following: Caucasian, Black, Asian, Latina, Native American, Middle eastern, Jewish, Indian, and Pacific Islander. Indian refers to East Indians, not Native Americans. Pacific Islander refers to darker-skinned asians such as Filipinos and Hawaiians. 
ethnicity2  -  Additional ethnicity, if applicable. 
nationality  -  Citizenship. 
nationality2  -  Additional nationality, if applicable. 
Body 
Parameter  ref  Explanation 
measurements  yes  Bust-waist-hip measurements. Example: 38-26-34 in.


Note: Some models replace their real bust measurement by their bra size, for example "34D-26-34". Do not delete the "D" in these measurements, because the model's real bust measurement would be 38, not 34.
Through high school, she continued to star in theatricals and she attended Northwestern University, where she was a member of the sorority Kappa Alpha Theta but did not graduate. As part of a group known as the "Suttletones," they performed at the Mist, a Chicago nightclub, and went to Las Vegas for a promised club date which fell through after they arrived. They plugged ahead to Los Angeles and, through agent Georgia Lund, secured club dates in Newport Beach and Reno, where Ann-Margret had a chance encounter with Marilyn Monroe, who was on location for The Misfits. Monroe noticed the striking girl in a crowd of onlookers, then chatted privately with her, offering her encouragement.
bra/cup size  yes  Bra size or cup size. Cup size must be C or higher. Consider using the {{Bra}} template:
{{bra|34|E}} gives  Bra/cup size:  34E (75E)  (full bra size)
{{bra|E}} gives  Bra/cup size:  E  (only cup).
A reference can only be added if the Bra template is used.

If bra/cup size is blank, cup size is checked and displayed for downward compatibility reasons.
If bra/cup size is specified, it overrides any data in cup size.

If you want to cite a source for the natural tits field, add the reference in the natural tits ref field, not in natural tits.

body type  -  Slim (Liv Lindeland), Average (Uschi Digard), Athletic (Corina Curves), Muscular (Melissa Dettwiller), Chubby (Fairy), or BBW (Sofia Rose). Eyeing is usually enough to decide on a body type, but if a body type is debatable, and weight and height are known, the body mass index (BMI) calculator can be used. BMI less than 20 is slim; BMI between 20 and 25 is average; BMI between 25 and 30 is chubby; and BMI more than 30 is BBW. Athletic body type is for those who are toned or slightly muscular, and muscular body type is only used for bodybuilders.

==Recording career==
Parameter: JennaJameson


Example for Sabina Leigh (no username):
Ann-Margret began recording for RCA in 1961. Her first RCA recording was "Lost Love" from her debut album And Here She Is: Ann-Margret, produced in Nashville with Chet Atkins on guitar, the Jordanaires (Elvis Presley's backup singers), and the Anita Kerr Singers, with liner notes by mentor George Burns. She had a sexy throaty singing voice and RCA 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. She scored the minor hit "I Just Don't Understand" (from her second LP) which entered the Billboard Top 40 in the third week of August 1961 and stayed six weeks, peaking at 17. The song was later covered in live performances by The Beatles, who never officially recorded any version of the song. Her only charting album was The Beauty and the Beard (1964) on which she was accompanied by trumpeter Al Hirt. She also sang at the Academy Awards presentation in 1962, singing the Oscar-nominated song "Bachelor in Paradise". Her contract with RCA ended in 1966. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, she had hits on the dance charts, the most successful being 1979's "Love Rush" which peaked at number eight on the disco/dance charts.

What's new?
In 1961, at nineteen, she filmed a screen test at 20th Century Fox and was signed to a seven-year contract. Ann-Margret made her film début in a loan out to United Artists in Pocketful of Miracles, with Bette Davis. It was a remake of the 1933 movie Lady for a Day. Both versions were directed by Frank Capra.
The old biobox became very long and cluttered as many new fields were added. The main goals for the new biobox were: Be clearer. Be shorter. Provide more information.  


The following changes have been done:
Then came a 1962 remake of Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical State Fair playing the "bad girl" role of Emily opposite Bobby Darin and Pat Boone. She had tested for the part of Margy, the "good girl," but she seemed too seductive to the studio bosses who decided on the switch. The two roles mimicked her real-life personality — shy and reserved off stage but wildly exuberant and sensuous on stage. As she summed up in her autobiography, she would easily transform herself from "Little Miss Lollipop to Sexpot-Banshee" once she stepped on stage and the music began.


Major
Her next starring role, as the all-American teenager Kim from Sweet Apple, Ohio, in Bye Bye Birdie (1963) made her a major star. The premiere at Radio City Music Hall, 16 years after her first visit to the famed theater, was a smash hit—the highest first-week grossing film to date at that theater. 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". She was asked to sing "Baby, Won't You Please Come Home" at President John F. Kennedy's private birthday party at the Waldorf-Astoria, one year after Marilyn Monroe's famous "Happy Birthday".
Data is now grouped in sections: Personal, Body, Performances, Personal pages and Databases. This should make it easier to find information in a longer biobox.
Data that was previously spread over several lines and fields is now contracted to single lines or single fields with only one name, like
Breasts:  Enhanced (silicone implants)  or  Born:  March 14, 1983 (1983-03-14) (age 28) .  
"Yes" entries in the Performances section are replaced by more descriptive words and contracted/grouped, like
Shown:  Topless, Bush, Full Frontal, Pink . "No" entries are no longer displayed.
The dilemma with measurements, cup size and bra size is solved. The new bra/cup size field can contain the {{Bra size}} template as well as a reference. Cup size is replaced and now deprecated. Measurements stays clean, as {{Bra size}} has moved in its own field.
The natural tits field can now be referenced by adding the reference in natural tits ref.
Minor
Current age is displayed if full birth date is provided (unless person has died).
Age at death displayed if full birth date and full death date are provided.  
Birth and death dates can now be referenced.
Birth name added for persons whose real name has changed (marriage etc.).
Death location added, analog to birth location.
Nationality2 added, analog to ethnicity2.
Second ethnicity or nationality is now displayed even if the first was omitted by accident.
Implant type is now ignored if Natural tits is "yes".
Solo is now clearly displayed as  Solo:  Masturbation . Although the meaning of the field was explained in the old {{Biobox}}, many editors used solo just as a synonym for single photoshoots. Now that "masturbation" is displayed, they can revise their entries, making the data more consistent.  
Hardcore is now clearly displayed as  Boy/girl:  Vaginal  for the same reasons. Before it was not clear if it included lesbian acts for example.
For other new parameters, see Parameters.

She was offered the title role in Cat Ballou (1965) which would go to Jane Fonda, but her manager turned it down without telling her. In March 1966, Ann-Margret and entertainers Chuck Day and Mickey Jones teamed up for a USO tour to entertain U.S. servicemen in remote parts of Vietnam and other parts of Southeast Asia. She still has great affection for the veterans and refers to them as "my gentlemen." Ann-Margret, Day and Jones reunited in November 2005 for an encore of this tour for veterans and troops at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada.

During a lull in her film career in the late 1960s, she performed live in Las Vegas, with her husband Smith (whom she had married in 1967) taking over as her manager after that engagement. Elvis and his entourage came to see her during the show's five-week run and to celebrate backstage. She followed up with a television special on December 1, 1968, starring Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Danny Thomas and Carol Burnett. Then she went back to Saigon as part of Hope's Christmas show. A second television special followed with Dean Martin and Lucille Ball. In 1970, she returned to films with R.P.M. and C.C. and Company.

On September 9, 1972, while performing at Lake Tahoe, Nevada, she fell 22 feet from an elevated platform to the stage and suffered injuries including a broken left arm, cheekbone and jawbone. Smith flew a stolen plane from Burbank, California to Lake Tahoe and back to get his wife to surgeons at UCLA for treatment, which included meticulous facial reconstructive surgery that required wiring her mouth shut and putting her on a liquid diet. Unable to work for ten weeks, she ultimately returned to the stage almost back to normal.

Throughout the 1970s, Ann-Margret balanced her live musical performances with a string of dramatic film roles that played against her glamorous image.

In addition, she has been nominated for ten Golden Globe Awards and has won five times, including her Best Actress for Tommy.

What's new?
She rode a 500cc Triumph T100C Tiger motorcycle in The Swinger (1966) and the same model fitted with a non-standard electric starter in her stage show. A keen motorcyclist, she was featured in Triumph Motorcycles' official advertisements in the '60s. She suffered three broken ribs and a fractured shoulder when she was thrown off a motorcycle she was driving in rural Minnesota in 2000.
The old biobox became very long and cluttered as many new fields were added. The main goals for the new biobox were: Be clearer. Be shorter. Provide more information.  


The following changes have been done:
==External links==
* {{freeones}}
* {{babepedia}}


Major
{{GFDL}}
Data is now grouped in sections: Personal, Body, Performances, Personal pages and Databases. This should make it easier to find information in a longer biobox.
Data that was previously spread over several lines and fields is now contracted to single lines or single fields with only one name, like
Breasts:  Enhanced (silicone implants)  or  Born:  March 14, 1983 (1983-03-14) (age 28) .
"Yes" entries in the Performances section are replaced by more descriptive words and contracted/grouped, like
Shown:  Topless, Bush, Full Frontal, Pink . "No" entries are no longer displayed.
The dilemma with measurements, cup size and bra size is solved. The new bra/cup size field can contain the {{Bra size}} template as well as a reference. Cup size is replaced and now deprecated. Measurements stays clean, as {{Bra size}} has moved in its own field.
The natural tits field can now be referenced by adding the reference in natural tits ref.
Minor
Current age is displayed if full birth date is provided (unless person has died).
Age at death displayed if full birth date and full death date are provided.
Birth and death dates can now be referenced.
Birth name added for persons whose real name has changed (marriage etc.).
Death location added, analog to birth location.
Nationality2 added, analog to ethnicity2.
Second ethnicity or nationality is now displayed even if the first was omitted by accident.
Implant type is now ignored if Natural tits is "yes".
Solo is now clearly displayed as  Solo:  Masturbation . Although the meaning of the field was explained in the old {{Biobox}}, many editors used solo just as a synonym for single photoshoots. Now that "masturbation" is displayed, they can revise their entries, making the data more consistent.
Hardcore is now clearly displayed as  Boy/girl:  Vaginal  for the same reasons. Before it was not clear if it included lesbian acts for example.
For other new parameters, see Parameters.

Latest revision as of 12:37, 30 April 2026

Ann-Margret Olsson (born April 28, 1941) is a Swedish-American actress, singer and dancer.

Early life

Ann-Margret was born in Stockholm, the daughter of Anna (née Aronsson) and Gustav Olsson, a native of Örnsköldsvik. While young she moved with her parents to Valsjöbyn, Jämtlands län, which she later described as a small town "of lumberjacks and farmers high up near the Arctic Circle". Her father worked in the United States during his youth and moved there again in 1942, working with the Johnson Electrical Company, while his wife and daughter stayed behind.

Ann-Margret and her mother moved to the United States in November 1946, and her father took her to Radio City Music Hall on the day they arrived. They settled just outside of Chicago in Wilmette, Illinois. She became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1949 and took her first dance lessons at the Marjorie Young School of Dance, showing natural ability from the start, easily mimicking all the steps. Her parents were supportive and her mother handmade all her costumes. Ann-Margret's mother worked as a funeral parlour receptionist after her husband suffered a severe injury on his job. While a teenager, Ann-Margret appeared on the Morris B. Sachs Amateur Hour, Don McNeill's Breakfast Club and Ted Mack's Amateur Hour.

Through high school, she continued to star in theatricals and she attended Northwestern University, where she was a member of the sorority Kappa Alpha Theta but did not graduate. As part of a group known as the "Suttletones," they performed at the Mist, a Chicago nightclub, and went to Las Vegas for a promised club date which fell through after they arrived. They plugged ahead to Los Angeles and, through agent Georgia Lund, secured club dates in Newport Beach and Reno, where Ann-Margret had a chance encounter with Marilyn Monroe, who was on location for The Misfits. Monroe noticed the striking girl in a crowd of onlookers, then chatted privately with her, offering her encouragement.

The group finally arrived at The Dunes in Las Vegas, which also headlined Tony Bennett and Al Hirt at that time. George Burns heard of her performance and she auditioned for his annual holiday show, in which she and Burns did a soft-shoe routine. Variety proclaimed, "George Burns has a gold mine in Ann-Margret...she has a definite style of her own, which can easily guide her to star status".

Recording career

Ann-Margret began recording for RCA in 1961. Her first RCA recording was "Lost Love" from her debut album And Here She Is: Ann-Margret, produced in Nashville with Chet Atkins on guitar, the Jordanaires (Elvis Presley's backup singers), and the Anita Kerr Singers, with liner notes by mentor George Burns. She had a sexy throaty singing voice and RCA 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. She scored the minor hit "I Just Don't Understand" (from her second LP) which entered the Billboard Top 40 in the third week of August 1961 and stayed six weeks, peaking at 17. The song was later covered in live performances by The Beatles, who never officially recorded any version of the song. Her only charting album was The Beauty and the Beard (1964) on which she was accompanied by trumpeter Al Hirt. She also sang at the Academy Awards presentation in 1962, singing the Oscar-nominated song "Bachelor in Paradise". Her contract with RCA ended in 1966. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, she had hits on the dance charts, the most successful being 1979's "Love Rush" which peaked at number eight on the disco/dance charts.

Film career

1960s

In 1961, at nineteen, she filmed a screen test at 20th Century Fox and was signed to a seven-year contract. Ann-Margret made her film début in a loan out to United Artists in Pocketful of Miracles, with Bette Davis. It was a remake of the 1933 movie Lady for a Day. Both versions were directed by Frank Capra.

Then came a 1962 remake of Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical State Fair playing the "bad girl" role of Emily opposite Bobby Darin and Pat Boone. She had tested for the part of Margy, the "good girl," but she seemed too seductive to the studio bosses who decided on the switch. The two roles mimicked her real-life personality — shy and reserved off stage but wildly exuberant and sensuous on stage. As she summed up in her autobiography, she would easily transform herself from "Little Miss Lollipop to Sexpot-Banshee" once she stepped on stage and the music began.

Her next starring role, as the all-American teenager Kim from Sweet Apple, Ohio, in Bye Bye Birdie (1963) made her a major star. The premiere at Radio City Music Hall, 16 years after her first visit to the famed theater, was a smash hit—the highest first-week grossing film to date at that theater. 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". She was asked to sing "Baby, Won't You Please Come Home" at President John F. Kennedy's private birthday party at the Waldorf-Astoria, one year after Marilyn Monroe's famous "Happy Birthday".

Ann-Margret met Elvis Presley on the MGM soundstage when the two filmed Viva Las Vegas (1964). ‘Ann-Margrock’ in The Flintstones.

In 1963, Ann-Margret guest-starred in a popular episode of the animated TV series The Flintstones, voicing Ann-Margrock, an animated version of herself. She sang the ballad "The Littlest Lamb" as a lullaby and the (literally) rock-ing song, "Ain't Gonna Be A Fool". Decades later, she recorded the theme song, a modified version of the Viva Las Vegas theme, to the live-action film The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas in character as Ann-Margrock.

While working on the film Once a Thief (1965), she met 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. That meeting began their courtship, which met with resistance from her parents.

Ann-Margret starred in The Cincinnati Kid in 1965 opposite Steve McQueen. She also co-starred along with friend Dean Martin in the spy spoof Murderers' Row (1966).

Her redhead hair color (she is a "natural brunette") was the idea of Sydney Guilaroff, a hairdresser who changed the hair color of other famous actresses such as Lucille Ball.

She was offered the title role in Cat Ballou (1965) which would go to Jane Fonda, but her manager turned it down without telling her. In March 1966, Ann-Margret and entertainers Chuck Day and Mickey Jones teamed up for a USO tour to entertain U.S. servicemen in remote parts of Vietnam and other parts of Southeast Asia. She still has great affection for the veterans and refers to them as "my gentlemen." Ann-Margret, Day and Jones reunited in November 2005 for an encore of this tour for veterans and troops at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada.

During a lull in her film career in the late 1960s, she performed live in Las Vegas, with her husband Smith (whom she had married in 1967) taking over as her manager after that engagement. Elvis and his entourage came to see her during the show's five-week run and to celebrate backstage. She followed up with a television special on December 1, 1968, starring Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Danny Thomas and Carol Burnett. Then she went back to Saigon as part of Hope's Christmas show. A second television special followed with Dean Martin and Lucille Ball. In 1970, she returned to films with R.P.M. and C.C. and Company.

In 1971, she starred in Mike Nichols's Carnal Knowledge, playing the over-loving girlfriend of a viciously abusive Jack Nicholson and garnering a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

On September 9, 1972, while performing at Lake Tahoe, Nevada, she fell 22 feet from an elevated platform to the stage and suffered injuries including a broken left arm, cheekbone and jawbone. Smith flew a stolen plane from Burbank, California to Lake Tahoe and back to get his wife to surgeons at UCLA for treatment, which included meticulous facial reconstructive surgery that required wiring her mouth shut and putting her on a liquid diet. Unable to work for ten weeks, she ultimately returned to the stage almost back to normal.

Throughout the 1970s, Ann-Margret balanced her live musical performances with a string of dramatic film roles that played against her glamorous image. In 1973 she starred with John Wayne in The Train Robbers. Then came the musical Tommy in 1975, for which she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. In addition, she has been nominated for ten Golden Globe Awards and has won five times, including her Best Actress for Tommy. She also did a string of successful TV specials, starting with The Ann-Margret Show for NBC in 1968.

In 1978, she co-starred with Anthony Hopkins in the horror/suspense thriller Magic.

In 1989, an illustration was done of Oprah Winfrey that graced the cover of TV Guide, and although the head was Oprah's, the body was referenced from a 1979 publicity shot of Ann-Margret. The illustration was rendered so tightly in color pencil by freelance artist Chris Notarile that most people thought it was a composite photograph.

1990s and 2000s

In 1993, she starred in the comedy Grumpy Old Men with Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon. Her character returned for Grumpier Old Men (1995), the sequel.
