At 84, Ann-Margret continues to dazzle the world, not just as a Hollywood legend but as a woman who embraces life with vibrancy and grace. The Swedish-American icon, known for roles in Bye Bye Birdie and Viva Las Vegas, has never lost her shine, including after turning 84 on April 28. Whether on red carpets or returning to recording studios, her passion for performance still remains. Indeed, despite these past hurdles, she made an appearance at Planet Comicon KC, which marked a rare, exciting outing for the star.
In recent years, she’s proven that age does not stop her from trying by releasing new music, and attempting the stage again. She was slated to narrate Disney’s 2023 Candlelight Processional at Epcot, however, she had to step down due to illness. Despite this, fans were reminded of her relevance, seeing the buzz surrounding her scheduled appearance.
Ann-Margret is still dazzling at 84
She also remains a vibrant presence in the entertainment world, as she released Born to Be Wild in 2023, making it her first album in over a decade. It featured collaborations with artists like Joe Perry and Pete Townshend. The release also marked her return to the Billboard charts, which is a feat she hadn’t achieved since 1964.
Celebrating her legacy
Lindsay Lohan is set to portray the singer-actress in an upcoming biopic, which is a project that has garnered significant attention. While appearing as a guest last November on Watch What Happens Live, Lohan explained the movie is still in development, and the most important thing is to make it match up to Ann-Margret’s vision.
The dedication of the cast to delivering an accurate portrayal of Ann-Margret’s life and career is evident, and Lohan has already stated she has enormous respect for the icon as a “triple threat” and an “awesome woman.” The film promises to do justice to Ann-Margret’s name by reflecting her complexity and energy through the years.
