The next morning a phone call from Graceland brought the devastating news. Joe Esposito explained it was going to be a madhouse in Memphis for the funeral and advised her not to come. “We're coming,” she told him. When she arrived at Graceland, she and Vernon embraced.
Ann-Margret and Elvis Presley starred in the 1964 MGM musical comedy 'Viva Las Vegas'. The two met in the beginning of July in 1963. Elvis was 28, Ann-Margret 22. Both were on top of the world.
This short film is about their love affair as told by Ann-Margret herself. She became the most memorable of Presley's leading ladies during his Hollywood career.
Writing shortly after Elvis' death and funeral, Vernon recalled: "Because I was dazed with shock and misery, I didn’t see or recognise some of the people at the funeral.
"Ann-Margret and I hugged each other and cried together, but I didn’t even see her husband, Roger Smith, who was close by."
In her book, My Story, Ann-Magret recalled the same meeting. She said: "There was so much to say, to recount. But instead, we cried."
She then recalled the last thing Elvis told his father about her. She wrote: "Vernon said softly: ‘He was so proud of you.'
