The 85-year-old ‘Viva Las Vegas’ star smiled as staff wheeled her into an event in an all-black outfit and green blazer
Hollywood icon, Ann-Margret, was recently photographed outside a Los Angeles hotel in a wheelchair.
The 85-year-old actress was spotted arriving to a hotel for an event, where her staff met her outside and helped her get out of her car.
She was seen smiling as she was being wheeled into the event by her staff, in an all-black outfit, which she paired with a green blazer, glasses and a necklace.
Her appearance at the event occurred only a few months after the actress shared she suffered a fall in her home in April, which led to a broken elbow.

“I fell the other day and so now my right elbow is broken,” Ann-Margret told Parade magazine at the time. “That’s OK. … I have fallen so many times. I don’t intend to, but I do! What can I say?”
Although she was forced to cancel a fan event at the time during which she would be signing autographs, she assured the outlet that she was on the mend, telling them, “Yes I am. I sure am!”
Dubbed “The Female Elvis,” Ann-Margret had her breakout performance in the 1963 movie musical, “Bye Bye Birdie,” which established her as a leading lady early in her career. She then starred alongside Elvis Presley in the 1964 movie, “Viva Las Vegas.”
Her transition to dramatic films came in the 70s, with the actress receiving her first of two Academy Award nominations in 1972 for her role in “Carnal Knowledge.”
