Reply With QuoteI think they would have been a perfect couple, better than Elvis and Cilla..She sure was like a female Elvis, LOL.. It's a shame they were not together
That is MY opinion,
Just out of curiosity, what does everyone think of Elvis' relationship with Anne Margaret? So many people during their time considered her the "female elvis", or his definate contemporary and equal, and I know that there are some mixed opinions on this, so I'm wondering what people think. Also, if anyone has any reccomendations on stuff I can read on this topic as well, please let me know. thanks!

I like Ann Margret and I think they would be a great couple because they had a lot of things in common. If you watch the movie "Viva Las Vegas" and the pictures they made for the movie you can see a lot of electricity and complicity in their glances and we know they had a true love affair.
Anyway, I don't think Ann could be the kind of woman Elvis wanted as a wife...everybody tells he prefered quiet women and that he was very conservative about the role of the woman in a marriage and so on.
I think he liked Ann because they had fun together but who knows if he had ever thought to marry her instead Priscilla...

I agree with Indre and ForEver The King, I really think they were great together and perhaps Elvis might of married her. (we will neverknow)

I LOVE ANN-MARGRET!!! She is a beautiful and a dynamic lady. And a great dancer as well! I think the nickname of "the female Elvis" fits herShe was, back then, a provocative dancer (hip moves, like Elvis or some sort
"Viva Las Vegas" is one of my very favorites because of that chemestry between& Ann.
People can see the were truly in love. For me they were a magnificent young and full-of-energy couple...
I saw a t.v show (can't rememer the title) time ago, where Elvis "hair-style-designer" (:p) said to the camera something like: "He [Elvis] came to me and said: 'I can't decide between Ann and Priscilla'... So I replied to him: pic Priscilla, she's a fine lady. With Ann, your egos [speaking of their astistic careers] soon will crash and you'll have trouble... And then, Elvis married Cilla".
One of many stories about Elvis & Ann... I would love if they were a couple until this time...

I couldnt agree more. They looked great together. That had both that x-factor, charisma. But Elvis looked for other qualities in a woman to be his wife. Wish he hadnt ..Originally Posted by ForeverTheKing

I have a lot of time for this lady because she has always shown respect to EP as she calls him.
I`ll never forget seeing her in an interview when they started talking about Elvis and she said "We`re getting a little personal here. I have so much respect for this man that I can`t betray him even in death."
She wouldn`t talk about him.
I haven`t heard a bad word about her so she must be a good woman.
This is a larger version of the picture.. I hope you like it Wendy56!
Y-E-S!, I LOVE that beautiful pic!
Grazie mille!

I hate to put a damper on everybody's enthusiasm, but despite the obvious on screen chemistry and off screen friendship, I don't think a marriage between the two would have worked. Why? Because Elvis wanted a traditional wife, who stayed at home, took care of the house and the family etc. waiting for him and waiting on him. Ann-Margret is showbiz, baby. She's been a "working" girl since her late teens, and I believe she still works be it TV movies or - I don't know if she still does this - shows in Vegas. She may have been able to give that up for a while, but somehow I believe she would have gotten the showbiz itch after a while......

I just wish that he had chosen her instead of the wicked witch.
Right Joanne...this was our personal wish...but we have also said that it couldn't have been a good marriage because they had a too similar life and Elvis a had others tastes for a wife....but I still see them as a nice couple, more than any other girl he had (also after Priscilla)...Originally posted by Joanne

In all honesty and in my personal opinion I don`t think that he found his soul mate and thats very sad.
After reading all the posts in this thread, a thought came into my head somehow - that Elvis was never really happy. That fame actually destroyed him personallyThat is SO friggin sad. He had deserved to love and be loved, sincerely. But never really was, I think.
Not that I tried to say something NEW now, but I just shared my thoughts, lol.

Yes, success doesn't mean necessarily HAPPYNESS and Elvis is a clear example.
Anyway...I think he had happy moments in his life but not a HAPPY LIFE in general.
Maybe it happens also to us, in our lives...we can reach serenity in some periods but it's hard to tell.."Oh yes, I'm totally happy".
Elvis got a lot of good things from his life and could do a lot for himself and people he loved...anyway, I think he felt very lonesome because he asked himself if he had real LOVE aroud him or just opportunism.
Returning to Ann...well, we can't know if she could have been his twin soul or if Cilla was his twin soul (I don't think so!!!).
My modest opinion is that when you are in that position it's hard to find a twin soul, someone who really cares about you, I mean in a genuine way...someone who looks at you as a person and not as a star...and I'm sure this was his biggest suffering: HE LOST (OR HE NEVER FOUND) HIS POINTS OF REFERENCES and he felt betrayed too many times (by his dad when he married another woman, by Cilla after the divorce, by his "friends" when they wrote the book, by the Col. when he didn't consider his wishes and so on..)...
I know Ann Margret has always refused to talk about her love affair with Elvis but I know she wrote an autobiography years ago called ANN MARGRET:MY STORY...has anyone read the book?Did she speak about Elvis in the book? I'm just curious....
I`m going to get it from my library.
I heard that she didn`t want to put Elvis in the book but he was such a special part of her life that she did so but by all accounts she didn`t betray him or reveal any really intimate details like Priscilla did.
Thanks Joanne, I'd like to read it too and to know more about them; anyway I'm happy to know that she still has a lot of respect for him and their relationship...she must be a very sensitive woman!
yes she talks about her time with Elvis in several chapters - how they met - how long they stayed together - that she knew it wouln't last because he had to fulfill his promises (Cilla) - after their separation he continued to send flowers in shape of a guitar every time she had a show in Las Vegas - and she talks about his death and the funeral, she attended....maybe I can quote more when I have more timeI know Ann Margret has always refused to talk about her love affair with Elvis but I know she wrote an autobiography years ago called ANN MARGRET:MY STORY...has anyone read the book?Did she speak about Elvis in the book? I'm just curious....
