Ann-Margret may have put her career on the back burner in recent years, but when it comes down to it, she still has that same flair and vitality!
The screen icon, now 84, surprised fans earlier this week with one of her first TV appearances in a while, making a special appearance at the Lead with Love 6 telethon on KTLA 5 benefiting Project Angel Food.
The Hollywood legend wasn't the only star who made an appearance either, with others like Jamie Lee Curtis, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Annie Lennox, Matt Bomer, and many more also joining in. Eric McCormack hosted the telethon, joined by comedian Loni Love and Drag Race winner Bianca Del Rio. Scroll below to see a clip!

As Eric brought her on stage, he quipped: "As I was saying before, I have a lot of male friends that are very, very jealous of me tonight, because I get to stand with you."
Showering her with praise and dubbing her the "female Elvis" for her incredible dance moves, the Will & Grace star asked her what the secret was to her incredible abilities as a performer, ones that have even made her a TikTok sensation in recent years. "My heart and my seat," she joked in response.

Fans lavished the star with praise, complimenting her on being just as delightful and energetic as she always was, leaving comments like: "Ann-Margret is such a beautiful, giving person," and: "Beautiful, Talented and an absolute ICON!!!" as well as: "She was so good. Her dancing was phenomenal!!"

Ann was a celebrated icon of the '60s and '70s, not only being a household name thanks to box office draws like Bye Bye Birdie (1963) and Viva Las Vegas (1964), but also as a critical darling, earning two Oscar nominations for her performances in Carnal Knowledge (1971) and Tommy (1975).

Ann and Roger were together until his death in 2017, and she was the stepmother of his three children from his previous marriage to Victoria Shaw. After their marriage, Roger became Ann's manager and retired once his health began to decline in the years leading up to his death.
