Ann-Margaret Still Rides at 82!
The "Bye Bye Birdie" and "Viva Las Vegas" actress was recently at the Women’s Image Network’s 25th Women’s Image Awards in Beverly Hills, where she revealed one thing that keeps her young — a Harley-Davidson.
"It’s lavender, and it’s got white daisies all over it," the star gushed to People magazine. "There [are] flowers on the back fender and the front fender. … I love speed. Not the drug."
The performer told the outlet that after a decades-long career in Hollywood, she has zero plans to slow down. Ann-Margret described how she took dance lessons early on in life to prove to her parents she was born to entertain.
She was born Ann-Margret Olsson in Sweden in 1941. She moved to the U.S. as a child. In her college years, Ann-Margret performed at nightclubs while she focused on her studies during the day.
"I remember wanting to be in show business all my life," Ann-Margret told the outlet. "And I remember one day I said to mother and daddy, ‘I want to talk to you. It’s a very, very important thing for me and I want to get into show business.’"

She said she received her parents' blessings. She was eventually discovered by comedian George Burns, who gave her a spot on his Las Vegas show. She soon skyrocketed her way to the top of the box office charts.
In May, Ann-Margret told Fox News Digital she still rides her Harley.
"It was my daddy who inspired me to ride," she explained at the time. "Before he met my mother, he had a couple of motorcycles. One was an Indian and the other a BSA. And my uncle, my mother’s brother, had a big motorcycle. When I was 10 years old, I would ride on the back of his bike with him. … He would take me to the Norwegian border, and we would go into Norway. There’s no way I could forget that motorcycle.

"The speed, being in the elements, the wind and the rain, the sleet and hail – oh gosh, I get very excited when I even talk about it. … Today, I’ve got this incredible Harley-Davidson motorcycle. It’s very funny when you see it parked next to all the other bikes. It’s lavender with daisies. It’s quite unique."
During the ‘60s, Ann-Margret became a sought-after sex symbol, a title she never had any qualms about.

"I was flattered," she chuckled. "The idea that some guy would come up to me and say, ‘Hey, I think you’re sexy.' Oh man, what’s not to love?"

In 1964, Ann-Margret appeared opposite Elvis Presley in "Viva Las Vegas," one of the most recognizable films from the singer’s career. For decades, even long after Presley died in 1977 at age 42, many have speculated about their relationship when cameras stopped rolling. For the actress, what happened in Vegas stays in Vegas. She has only spoken of their friendship and experience of bringing the beloved musical to life.
"It was a joy working with E.P.," she said. "We felt music the same way. We would listen to music, we would look at each other and woo! We would be moving the same way."
But before sparks flew with the hip-swiveling icon, Ann-Margret appeared alongside Pat Boone in 1962’s "State Fair." During one steamy scene, she sent hearts racing as she nibbled on the entertainer, known for his squeaky clean image.

"It was on his left shoulder!" she proudly said. "As a matter of fact, I saw him two days ago here in Los Angeles. And, of course, I reminded him of that. And I did it again! He said, ‘Thank you.' He he loved it."
Life continues to be an adventure for Ann-Margret, and she wouldn’t have it any other way.

"I’ve got a lot of energy. It doesn’t come in a bottle," she boasted. "I am just blessed that my mother and father gave me such great energy. And there’s no negativity here. … They instilled in me all of these wonderful things that I still carry with me. You don’t whine about things. You just go out and do the things that you love. And I just feel blessed with the life that I’ve been given."

US presidential candidate Cornel West: 'Biden is a war criminal'
American voters feel “impotent and hopeless” as they approach an election where the main choices are a “neo-fascist Pied Piper” (Donald Trump) or “the war criminals of the Democratic Party”, argues independent presidential candidate Cornel West.
West, one of the United States’s pre-eminent philosophers and justice activists, tells host Steve Clemons that President Joe Biden is enabling Israeli genocide and that Israel cannot be secure if “precious Jewish security and safety is predicated on the domination of precious Palestinians”.
West argues that recent talk of a two-state solution is “subterfuge – a refusal to deal with the 700,000 Israeli settlers in the West Bank”.

Las Vegas: The Shady Life in America's Most Sinful City | ENDEVR Documen...
Homeless in Vegas - Where Poverty Meets Big Money:
• Homeless in Vegas: Where Poverty Meet...
This two part series focuses not on the millions of tourists who flock to the city’s hotels and casinos but on those who choose to live in Vegas, some of the 1.3 million inhabitants whose lives play out in the shadow of the Strip.
Over the course of the two episodes Trevor meets Las Vegans who have won and lost big, people who might fare better living somewhere far away from the pull of the bright lights and some who have seen firsthand the glamour – and violence – of a place that unveils more about human foibles than any other city on earth.
Through their stories Trevor reveals something far more tangible about Sin City in the 21st century than the neon mirage that lies at its heart.
00:00 Episode 1 Trevor also meets former high-class prostitute Annie Lobert who at the height of her career was making $2million a year. Tucked away in a secret corner of the sprawling suburbs, Annie now runs a safe house for prostitutes trying to get away from their violent pimps.
00:43:24 Episode 2 Trevor’s journey into Vegas wouldn’t be complete without sampling the high life. In a 3 million dollar apartment overlooking the Strip, he meets one of the world’s most successful poker players, Antonio Esfandiari also known as the Magician. Antonio holds the record for winning the biggest cash prize in poker - $18,346,673 on the turn of a single card.

Decadence and Downfall: The World's Most Expensive Party
In 1971, the Shah of Iran, the self-proclaimed 'king of kings', celebrated 2,500 years of the Persian monarchy by throwing the greatest party in history.
Money was no object - a lavish tent city, using 37km of silk, was erected in a specially created oasis. The world's top restaurant at the time, Maxim's, closed its doors for two weeks to cater the event, a five-course banquet served to over sixty of the world's kings, queens and presidents, and washed down with some of the rarest wines known to man. Over a decadent five-day period, guests were treated to a pageant of thousands of soldiers dressed in ancient Persian costume, a 'son et lumiere' at the foot of Darius the Great's temple, and the opening of the Azadi Tower in Tehran, designed to honour the Shah himself.
Every party leaves a few hangovers. This one left a country reeling, never to recover. It crystallised the opposition, led by the Ayatollah Khomeini. More than any other event, this party marked the break between the king of kings and the people of Iran he reigned over.
