Hollywood Icon Ann-Margret Rushed to the Hospital

One of Hollywood’s most beloved and enduring stars is on the mend after a frightening fall at home left her seriously injured. Ann-Margret, now 84, revealed she recently suffered a broken elbow after taking a tumble — forcing her to cancel a highly anticipated autograph-signing appearance.

“I fell the other day, and so now my right elbow is broken,” the Viva Las Vegas legend shared in a candid interview with Parade. Despite the painful setback, she struck a surprisingly upbeat tone, adding, “I’m going to try and be really, really careful and not flop down, not fall again — but one never knows.”

And in true old-school Hollywood fashion, Ann-Margret isn’t letting the injury slow her down for long.

The iconic star, known for her unforgettable role in Viva Las Vegas, brushed off the incident with grit and humor. “That’s OK. I have fallen so many times,” she admitted. “I don’t intend to, but I do! What can I say?”

Instead of dwelling on the fall, she’s leaning into the resilience that’s defined her decades-long career. “I have always learned from my parents that you just get up. You just start all over again,” she said — a mindset that’s clearly still driving her forward.

Behind the scenes, she’s staying disciplined. Her trainer continues to visit multiple times a week, modifying her routine to keep her active while she heals — with a strong focus on leg work. “If I don’t do that, I’ll probably start saying, ‘Well, I don’t know. I’ve got a cold,’” she joked. “But this man keeps me going.”

And here’s the twist: even with a broken elbow, Ann-Margret has no plans to step out of the spotlight.

The Hollywood legend is still expected to take center stage next month, when she receives a prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award at the Chita Rivera Awards in New York City on May 16 — a moment that could turn into a triumphant comeback appearance.

One fall may have slowed her down — but if history is any indication, Ann-Margret isn’t staying down for long.
