Ann-Margret Is 82 — She Found ‘Love’ Who Is ‘Not a Stranger,’ Rides Motorbikes, Acts & Is Not Going to Slow Down

Ann-Margret is a talented actress with many credits, but those achievements are not considered her proudest. Ann-Margret believes that spot is reserved for her marriage to the late Roger Smith, whom she was with until his demise.

The talented triple threat still resides in the same L.A. home she and Smith purchased in 1968, and she only has good things to say about their union.

She once said: “When I look back at my life, I am most proud of my marriage.” The couple was happy together, and Ann-Margret was grateful for her time with Smith. According to her, their marriage had been something they both wanted to work out, and it did.

The pair spent their nights together and were never far from each other in their waking moments. Such was the love they had for each other.

It thrived, even in the absence of children of their own. Ann-Margret tried to get pregnant so that they would have their kids, but it never happened.

She tried for 13 years, even going as far as using a fertility pump and a tool that injected her with a hormone that was supposed to aid ovulation.

Nothing worked, and eventually, she resigned herself to the position of stepmom to his three kids. Ann-Margret was an excellent mom to them even though she once tagged herself the “wicked stepmother of the west.”
