Ann-Margret Is ‘Ageless' with Red Hair at 81- She Talks about 'Nibbling' Pat Boone & Being Misunderstood

• Legendary actress and singer Ann-Margret looks "ageless" and opens up about her love life and love for speed at 81!
• She spoke up about the rumors of her "nibbling" Pat Boone and revealed her proudest achievement.
• Ann-Margret has also been seen as living on the edge, but she revealed some misunderstandings about her wild past.

Ann-Margret is an award-winning actress and singer with a six-decade career. But with her 82nd birthday coming up, she shows no signs of slowing down.

If anything, the rock'n’roll singer is more active and unafraid to live on the edge. Ann-Margret owns a lavender motorcycle which she also rides frequently.

The "Bye Bye Birdie" star said her love for motorcycles came from her uncle she grew up with in Sweden. She remembered when she let him ride the back of his bike and was in awe of the beautiful mountain and fjords they sped by. Immediately she knew she wanted one of her own.

Ann-Margret's husband and manager of 50 years, Roger Smith, also owned a bike but sold it, and when he asked his wife if she would do the same, it was not even negotiable. She said, "I love speed. I love a bit of danger. I love being free and the breeze and everything. What can I say? I'm a little crazy."

To top it off, the singer is set to release a new rock album, "Born to be Wild," and fans loved seeing the singer still looking fresh and young with her red hair.

One fan did not stop praising her beauty. "She's just as beautiful as always. Love her!" they said. "Smart. Beautiful. Talented. Successful. Ageless," and continued to wish the actress an early happy birthday.

For Ann-Margret to still make strides in her career is another part that fans find mind-blowing. "Beautiful. She's so remarkable for her age. Way to go," one remarked. Another netizen said, "Always my Favorite! You are GORGEOUS!"

During an interview with "CBS Sunday Morning," Ann-Margret showed off her purple motorbike while wearing matching fluffy boots. At 81 years old, she could still kick her leg and ride the bike.

She also gave an unexpected update about her life. The actress lost her husband of five decades in 2017, but she revealed that she found love again.

She did not give much detail about the new man in her life, but Ann Margret expressed that finding love was "a nice feeling" and that her boyfriend was not a stranger.

What Did Ann-Margret Reveal about Pat Boone and Her Proudest Achievement?

In her upcoming album, "Born to be Wild," Ann-Margret features Pat Boone, another renowned singer from the 1960s. Boone and the actress worked together in 1962 on the film, "State Fair."

However, Ann-Margret was rumored to be "nibbling" on him at the time, which was a big story. The actress was asked about it again and said, "I mean, sort of. Maybe! [laughs] It was like a kiss and a nibble."

But out of all the milestones she has reached in her career, Ann-Margret said her greatest and proudest achievement was when she traveled to Vietnam.

The singer said she received 3,000 signatures from working men and women asking her to perform for them, and after a long arrangement with government officials, she gave them a show to remember.

When asked about any controversy she might have faced for traveling to Vietnam, she said she was not doing it for that but for the people who wanted to see her perform.

Ann Margret was also not scared to travel; she knew no one would let anything happen to her. Again, the singer clarified that the political reasons did not bother her; she was only concerned about the men and women she performed for.

The entertainer takes her craft seriously, especially if she performs for people that contribute to society. She revealed that she received thousands of letters from people in the military, and whenever she could get out and give them a show, she did. "I don't take this lightly," she added.

What Is the Biggest Misunderstanding about Ann-Margret?

Ann Margret has been labeled a rebellious, wild girl throughout her fame, even though she had a stable home and marriage of over 50 years.

But the hitmaker said her red hair might have given that impression. In her early days, she used to have dark brown hair until she was asked to get it lighter for a film she was working on.

However, blonde hair was never in the books for her. "There was a fire in the red," she explained, forever seeing herself as a redhead.

On the other hand, her free-spirited energy also exuded from how Ann-Margret performed. Though the way she moved raised many eyebrows, the singer said it was her natural reaction to the music.

People said she moved like legendary Elvis Presley, but the "Viva Las Vegas" star said she had not even seen Preseley perform by the time she did "Viva Las Vegas"; she just loved to swing her body and let the music be in control.

The singer will turn 82 on April 28, but Ann-Margret has not let age define her; she still indulges in all her favorite activities.
