Ann-Margret may have a "sex kitten" image but the TV episode shows she's really a wonderful, devoted, almost old-fashioned type lady. I mean, how many Hollywood couples are married once and are the same sweethearts they were when they first met? Ann-Margret and Roger Smith are....and friends will tell you it's no accident. Both of them are great people. All the actors interviewed in here - and there were some famous ones like Lemmon - all say she is a sweetheart off screen.
After watching this episode, I also had some respect for Ann-Margret's determination to succeed. Her road to fame started off with a bang, being "discovered" by comedian George Burns and signing a seven-year contract with 20th Century Fox at the tender age of 19. However, her career soon started leveling off and then rapidly declining with a bunch of "B" movies. Nobody really took her as a serious actress until 1971 with her role in "Carnal Knowledge." Suddenly, it was "Wow, I didn't know Ann-Margret could act." Yet, she still played the "siren" role throughout most of her film career and became but became just as well-known as a singer and Las Vegas entertainer, and a great contributor to the USO doing shows for the troops in Vietnam with Bob Hope.
Speaking of Vegas, one of Ann-Margret's most memorable moments came when she fell over 20 feet during a performance and was seriously injured. This TV programs tells what happened, how her husband reacted and then her amazing comeback afterward. Ann-Margret seems to be a woman of comebacks, even today....and if you've seen her you'll be shocked that a woman her age can look that good! This Biography episode shows Ann-Margret to be a very impressive woman, not just one with a beautiful face. This was an interesting show and recommended.
