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.

2. Always enjoy that movie. Ann-Margret's "Hot" is always fun to watch.

3. Fun movie, seems that I had read there was a bit of a squabble between...

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...

4. I've read that Ann and Elvis were a dating couple for quite awhile. Who knows?

5. Yeah, that article (who knows what was true) says they kind of dated...

but then the whole ego thing kicked in and the little spat over screen time happened....I think the linked article is a bit "tabloid" in nature but a fun read for me...
