  • Highly recommend!

    Shannon, the interviewer, uses her detailed research to tell the story of one of Hollywood's greats, Ann-Margret, sometimes sharing things that the interviewee didn't even know! As you listen, you can't help but get wrapped up in both the nostalgia that that Ann-Margret felt remembering her impressive career and the joy Shannon felt talking to one of her family's heroes. This is a fun listen that will make you want to watch forgotten movies and smile!
