Ann Margret Height

Elektra says on 3/Apr/08
The immensely talented and gifted 'Slugger' is a natural brunette (dark brown hair actually (nothing "mousy" or blonde about it). If the celestial Ann-Margret claims to be 5'4 then I would say she should know! Judging by photos she has taken with soulmate Elvis (break out the archives), I would say she is right on the money. Ann-Margret is not one for taking her extraordinary beauty too seriously and not at all paranoid about her physical appearance – the woman exudes natural sensuality and continues to age gracefully.

Nemesis Priscilla Presley – a very, very polite and reserved lady – who claims to be 'just under 5'4' in her Elvis & Me autobiography is way off the mark! I stood side by side with Priscilla on one of her Australian perfume promotional visits (circa 1996/97). Complimenting Priscilla on her divine and astronomically elevated metallic gold pumps did more than just serve as a conversation opener.

I am 157cm (just under 5'2) and at the time I was wearing my legendary peep-toe black suede mules with a 10cm heel and 2cm platform. Priscilla's pumps had no less than a minimum 14cm heel (if not more) and taking into account the 4cm platform, she was still teetering! We stood eye to eye, shoulder to shoulder and were the same height in our respective shoes.

I will say that the then 50yr old ivory suited Priscilla pretty much did a double take of the 30yr old standing and chatting beside her. Often likened to Ann-Margret and clad in sexy black, she paid particular attention my ‘luscious long cascading hair’ which was then tinted the most beautiful shade of (you guessed it) red!

Perhaps my presence brought back feelings reminiscent of a time bygone for Priscilla. Still, strikingly beautiful in her own youth, I pay her tribute in having one of the most beautifully surreal facial bone structures I have ever seen (Elizabeth Taylor is another). Succumbing to her insecurities is a tragedy separate in itself.
