Ann-Margret is still a beauty at 78: See her then and now

Truly a timeless beauty.

For decades, Ann-Margret was known as one of the most gorgeous women in Hollywood -- and at 78 years old, she's still a total knockout. Classy, sophisticated and sexy, Ann-Margret is living proof that some people are just born for the cameras.

The multitalented Swedish-born star launched her career in 1961, when she made her first recording and quickly made waves as the "female Elvis." Just a few years later, she would co-star with the King himself in "Viva Las Vegas," one of her most profilic career achievements. (That is, aside from five Golden Globes, two Oscar nominations, two Grammys, and six Emmys.)

Ann-Margret wed fellow big-screen heartthrob Roger Smith in 1967, and the two would go on to have one of the longest marriages in Hollywood history. Smith passed away in 2017 as the two marked their fiftieth year of marriage.

“I knew he would protect me," Ann-Margret once told People. "I knew that I could depend on him. I sensed it completely."

Despite this heartbreak, Ann-Margret has stayed busier than ever. She co-starred alongside Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Alan Arkin in 2017's "Going In Style," reminding audiences that she's not just gorgeous -- she's got a great sense of humor.
