More than six decades after she first wowed moviegoers, Ann-Margret still has all the right moves.
The two-time Academy Award nominee, 84, made a rare public appearance June 28 at Project Angel Foodโs Lead With Love fundraiser in Los Angeles.
Video of her with โWill & Graceโ star Eric McCormack during the telethon on Los Angelesโ KTLA appeared on Ann-Margretโs Instagram page, as well as the pages for the station and Project Angel Food.
The โViva Las Vegasโ and โBye Bye Birdieโ star got a rousing round of applause as she walked onto the set toward McCormack.
โI was telling you before I have a lot of male friends that are very, very jealous of me tonight because I get to stand with you,โ McCormack said, alluding to her sex symbol status.
He then mentioned how Ann-Margret, who was born in Sweden, rose to fame and won over fans with her dancing.
โObviously, your โ60s dance moves captivated the world,โ McCormack said. โThey called you the female Elvis. You changed how a generation hit the dance floor, and now youโre a TikTok sensation. So, where do those incredible moves come from, Sweden? Does everyone in Sweden dance like that?โ
โMy heart and my seat,โ she replied with a laugh, as she gently touched her posterior.
Fans certainly loved seeing Ann-Margret.
