Ann-Margret dance scene from 'Made in Paris'

Everyone's favourite hyphenated red-headed Swedish-American dancing like a complete maniac in the 1966 film 'Made in Paris'. The film itself is average, which makes this more or less the standout moment. Although, the bit where Ann-Margret gets hammered on absinthe is pretty good too, because Ann-Margret acting drunk is always fun.

Always a favorite ! Still a beauty in 2022 !

[@siriusvenus8708]

They had grace and style--haven't seen that in a while (out of all the pop and sexualized videos which are crude and rude, bellowing out lyrics about genitals and sex--violent gyrations and obscene moves--but here are men who are slim, and fun and moving with animated pep--Margaret is so light, graceful, beautiful and looks like she's floating in some of the dance moves. So wonderful. I can't watch current dance videos without feeling slightly nauseous from all the focus on sexuality and body parts--so lacking in beauty and grace and happiness. What a kind relief to watch this clip and realize that once upon a time there were people who could actually dance, look "sexy" but without obscene movements or lyrics.

She was a singer/dancer. He acting was good too, but she landed in Las Vegas and made her millions there. Not all talent is wasted in Hollywood.

[@danc3693]

I take it you don't like Dirty Dancing, lol.

[@danc3693]

@@toomanyhobbies2011 True, she made a great living in Vegas but she made numerous Hollywood movies that were popular. AM was nominated for an acting Oscar for her performance in Carnal Knowledge, appearing very nude in maybe three scenes.

Careful that we don't turn Latin dancing into "lewd gyrations" but I get you. Tweaking is from the islands, and I love dance enough to open my mind to different perceptions from different cultures, but I don't see men in lingerie onstage so often. It does seem that female artists, even good ones, are expected to be hypersexual. Males hyper violent and macho. That's too bad for everyone because, as you described, it lacks joy

I've always felt that if she had been around a decade earlier she would have become a much bigger star. It's just that there were a lot more musicals in the 50s. But then again, she's certainly proven herself as an actress: an Emmy and two Oscar nominations!

I just watched Ann-Margaret with gorgeous 30-year-old French actor Alain Delon in the 1965 film Once a Thief. OMG. Delon was world's most beautiful--what a man! And look at young Richard Crenna here. Perspective on dance: Rudy Valentino's now-famous Tango was illegal as too provocative in the early 1920s.' He danced it beautifully anyway.
