Ann-Margret is your classic triple threat: she can sing, dance, and act. And she just turned 85 years young! But perhaps what’s most remarkable about Ann-Margret is the fact that she’s been a star for 60 years.

She has appeared in over 50 films and released over a dozen albums. She’s starred in movies and musicals alongside Elvis Presley, Dick Van Dyke, and Queen Latifah. She’s won five Golden Globe awards, six Emmys, and two Oscar nominations. 

When she joined us on the show back in 2023, she had just released an album called Born To Be Wild. She invited us to her home to chat about the record, her iconic Hollywood career, and much more.
