Before Rihanna, before Madonna, before even Cher, there was Ann-Margret.
She was the original mononymous triple threat, hijacking pop culture from the moment she burst onto the scene in the early 1960s.
Born Ann-Margret Olsson in Sweden in 1941, she immigrated to the U.S. with her parents in 1946. A screen test for 20th Century Fox in 1961 led to a seven-year contract and stardom in 1963’s Bye Bye Birdie.

Now 82, Ann-Margret is nowhere near retiring — she’s appeared in recent years on The Kominsky Method and Ray Donovan and recently released an album of rock covers. On May 23, she will host An Evening With Ann-Margret on TCM,...
