Elvis Presley’s Ex Ann-Margret Makes First Public Appearance Since Accident
The actress received a USO challenge coin honoring her years of service to American service members after canceling an autograph signing.
On April 29, actress Ann-Margret made her first public appearance since suffering a broken right elbow in a fall, attending an event at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Beverly Hills, California.
The 84-year-old performer suffered the broken right elbow after a fall early last month, prompting her to cancel a previously scheduled autograph signing.
She received a commemorative United Service Organizations Challenge Coin honoring her "years of service to American service members," making her only the second recipient after Bob Hope.
The milestone coincides with 2026 marking the 85th birthdays for both Ann-Margret and the United Service Organizations, uniting them in their shared commitment to serve those who serve.
Her career history includes filming Viva Las Vegas in 1963 with Elvis Presley, the "King of Rock and Roll," whom she dated for about a year and later detailed in her 1994 autobiography.
