on the MOVIES channel starting at a little over 7am here in the Mountain DST zone. I'm not a big
fan of Elvis Presley but I adore Ann-Margret and that's why I watch.

I checked and yes, she's still living. She's 80 now so since I enjoyed her performance in
Grumpy Old Men and Grumpier Old Men I also checked on Sophia Loren since she also
appeared in these movies and she's still living and is 86.

There you have it. Enjoy.

the Margret and Presley camps/managers about camera time and camera angles or some such during the filming of this movie...I get a kick out of these back stories of films...scroll down in the linked article to find some speculation on this...
