Ann-Margret recently revealed she broke her right elbow after falling at home, but the 84-year-old star says she’s staying positive and recovering well. Speaking to Parade, she joked, “I have fallen so many times. I don’t intend to, but I do!”
The Hollywood legend was forced to cancel an autograph signing while healing, though she assured fans she’s already bouncing back. The accident reminded longtime fans of her serious 1972 stage fall, when she plunged about 22 feet during a performance but eventually made a full comeback.
Born in Sweden and raised in Illinois, Ann-Margret became one of Hollywood’s biggest stars in the 1960s through films like Viva Las Vegas alongside Elvis Presley and Bye Bye Birdie. Over her long career, she earned multiple Golden Globe Awards, an Emmy, and several Oscar and Grammy nominations while building a reputation as one of entertainment’s most resilient performers.
