Ann-Margret was recently seen arriving at a Los Angeles hotel in a wheelchair. The 85-year-old actress was greeted by staff, who helped her out of her car and wheeled her into an event.
She appeared to be in good spirits, smiling as she arrived in a black outfit with a green blazer, glasses and a necklace.
The outing came a few months after Ann-Margret said she had fallen at home in April and broken her right elbow. She noted that she had taken a tumble many times before, though she never meant to.
She had to cancel an autograph-signing appearance after the injury, but said at the time that she was recovering.
Ann-Margret rose to fame in the 1963 musical “Bye Bye Birdie,” then starred with Elvis Presley in “Viva Las Vegas” the following year. She later moved into dramatic roles, earning her first of two Academy Award nominations for “Carnal Knowledge” in 1972.
Over the course of her career, she has received five Golden Globe Awards and an Emmy, along with two Academy Award nominations and two Grammy Award nominations.
In a recent interview, Ann-Margret also talked about her longtime love of motorcycles. She first rode one as a child in Sweden with her uncle and soon wanted one of her own. She said she enjoys the speed and feels joyful on a bike, though she tries not to ride too fast.
She has previously said she has no plans to slow down. Ann-Margret recalled wanting to enter show business from a young age and taking dance lessons as a way to show her parents how much performing meant to her.
