What Is Ann-Margret's Net Worth?

Ann-Margret started acting when she got into high school, participating in school productions and landing a few spots on variety television shows. After graduating from high school, she attended Northwestern University, where she was a member of the Kappa Theta Alpha sorority. She intended to study journalism. However, she dropped out her freshman year and decided to join a traveling dance group with a few other students. They called themselves "The Suttletones," and they played in clubs around Chicago and then LA. After they had spent a few months in LA, the rest of the group decided to return to Chicago, but Ann-Margret decided to stay. She signed a record deal with Warner Bros in 1960.

At this point, Ann-Margret decided to go by her first name with no mention of her last. She began recording music for RCA in 1961 and released the album "And Here She Is: Ann-Margret" later that year. She had been referred to as a femaleElvis, so RCA attempted to capitalize on that comparison by including a cover of "Heartbreak Hotel" on the album and using Elvis' background dancers. Despite the label's marketing, the album had mediocre sales, but she released a single the same year that performed better. The song "I Just Don't Understand" made it onto the Billboard Top 40 and remained there for six weeks. The Beatles would later record a cover of the song. Ann-Margret performed at the 1962 Academy Awards show and was nominated for a Grammy in the Best New Artist category the same year.

Ann-Margret was born Ann-Margret Olsson on April 28, 1941, in Stockholm, Sweden. Soon after her birth, her parents moved back to their hometown, a small arctic village in north central Sweden. She described the province of Jämtland as being a small farming and lumberjacking community. Her father moved to the US, and she and her mother joined him in 1946.

Ann-Margret's first album with Warner Bros didn't sell. However, she auditioned for a role in comedianGeorge Burns' Christmas special and got a notable part. She received widespread praise for her performance and signed both a record deal with the label RCA Victor and a seven-year film contract with 21stCentury Fox.

Ann-Margret grew up in a suburb outside Chicago and became a naturalized citizen in 1949. As a child, she took dance lessons, and her natural talent for performing was obvious. Before she had to take a job as a funeral parlor receptionist, her mother would sew all of her recital costumes by hand.

Ann-Margret also received Academy Award nominations for 1971's "Carnal Knowledge" and 1975's "Tommy."

Although Ann-Margret was an incredibly talented singer, she had a more extensive acting career than singing one. Her on-screen debut was in 1962 with the film "Pocketful of Miracles" in which she starred alongsideBette Davis. It performed well at the box office, but she would find her breakout role the next year in the musical comedy "Bye, Bye Birdie." It was wildly successful, and its premiere at Radio City Music Hall was the highest first-week-grossing film at the theater. Following its release, she graced the cover of "Life Magazine" and was asked to sing atJohn F. Kennedy'sprivate birthday party. In 1964, she filmed "Viva Las Vegas" with Elvis Presley. The pair recorded three duets for the film, but only one made it into the final cut. The other two songs weren't released until after Elvis' death due to concerns that Ann-Margret would overshadow him. She kept busy during the '60s. In 1965, she starred in "The Cincinnati Kid" withSteve McQueenand the film "Once a Thief." She appeared withDean Martinin the 1966 film "Murderers' Row" and was cast as the lead in the comedy "The Swinger," released the same year. Her performance in the 1971 film "Carnal Knowledge" earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress and won her a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress.
