Some Hollywood stories never get old, especially when they involve Elvis Presley. And if there’s one woman fans still associate with the King of Rock’ n’ Roll, it’s Ann-Margret. The red-haired beauty who lit up Viva Las Vegas in 1964 is still turning heads and making headlines at 84.
Decades after their on-screen chemistry sparked a real-life romance, Ann-Margret continues to remind fans why she stood out, not just as Elvis’s co-star and girlfriend, but as a talent in her own right.

Ann-Margret’s Hollywood journey began in the early 1960s. After winning her first Golden Globe for Pocketful of Miracles, she rose to fame with roles in Bye Bye Birdie and The Swinger. But it was Viva Las Vegas that sealed her status as a superstar and made her one of the most talked-about couples in showbiz.
Her connection with Elvis wasn’t just for the cameras. In her 1994 memoir, she wrote, “We both felt a current, an electricity that went straight through us.” Though their romance eventually ended, their story remains one of the most iconic pairings in entertainment history. Now, at 84, Ann-Margret hasn’t lost her spark. She recently performed alongside singer Pat Boone at a veterans’ event in Omaha, Nebraska. She wore a classy dress and signature smile, looking as radiant as ever.
Ann-Margret is still loved by many
Ann-Margret also made a surprise appearance at Planet Comicon in Kansas City earlier this year, where fans were thrilled to see her. In her video message, she flashed that familiar smile and greeted followers with warmth and charm.
Comments from fans poured in: “You’re still drop-dead gorgeous!” and “You haven’t aged a day since Elvis!” Others simply called her an American treasure. Ann-Margret is not just remembered for being Elvis Presley’s love interest, she’s also celebrated for being unforgettable in her own right.
