Many of us remember the 1960s, even if we haven’t lived through that decade. We remember it because of the awesome movies and the beautiful movie stars who were part of that era.

Although there were many memorable movie stars in the 1960s, there was one particular redhead who captivated audiences worldwide. She had an undeniable charm and charisma about her that would make her one of the top names in Hollywood.

She spoke about her youth and being brought up in a small Swedish village. She said: “From when I was 4 years old in Sweden, I would get up and harmonize with my mother to Swedish songs.

When she was six years old, her family immigrated to America and they settled in Illinois. She had a love for performing and it wasn’t long before she was studying at Northwestern University.

Even though Ann Margret was getting her education at the time, she was discovered by George Burns and her reputation began to build in Hollywood. She was an absolute sensation by the 1960s.

There was no doubt that she had a lot of chemistry with Elvis Pressley on the screen and the two of them dated for a while. The relationship never really took off, but they stayed friends until he passed away.
