Elvis and Ann-Margret ‘crawled like cats’ in non-public present of ‘fiery passion’

Elvis Presley made a load of unhealthy films, however a couple of of them are true classics with Viva Las Vegas, which began capturing 60 years in the past at this time, being maybe the best of all.

Back in 1963, The King met his match in co-star Ann-Margret, who was seen as the feminine reply to the music icon and the duo quickly hit it off after he quickly received over his preliminary shyness.

Speaking beforehand with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Ann-Margret stated that engaged on Viva Las Vegas with Elvis was “one of the happiest times of my life”.

“We were friends for a long time, EP and I. We met on the movie, we had several things in common, including a love for Las Vegas. We dated, and we just had a great time together. What can I say?

“Yes, certainly admired and respected him. We were a lot alike and made a great movie together.”

Above all, they bonded over their shared love of music, which led them to offer a spontaneous and unusual efficiency.

Ann-Margret admitted: “Music ignited a fiery pent-up passion inside Elvis and inside me. It was an odd, embarrassing, funny, inspiring, and wonderful sensation. We looked at each other move and saw virtual mirror images.”

Alongside The King, the Viva Las Vegas main girl received on so properly along with his Memphis Mafia that they began to nickname her by her character’s title Rusty.

According to Peter Guralnick’s Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley, one night time the 2 stars spontaneously determined to sing Jimmy Reed’s Baby What You Want Me to Do in a weird manner for the blokes who had been watching TV.

Ann-Margret remembered: “We snuck out of the living room. Then, without warning, he pushed open the big double glass doors.

“Everyone turned and looked. We were both on the ground, stretched out like cats, and in a husky growl he sang, ‘You got me runnin’.’ I answered in a similar voice, ‘You got me hidin’.’

“As we traded lyrics, we crawled across the carpeted room in time with the music while everyone clapped and laughed.”
