ANN-MARGRET

Singer and teen idol of the early 1960s Bobby Rydell has died at age 79.

The actress and singer who came to fame singing "Bye Bye Birdie" isn't ready to say farewell just yet. Ann-Margret, the star of such hits as "Viva Las Vegas," "Carnal Knowledge" and "Tommy" (the latter two of which earned her Oscar nominations), talks with correspondent Tracy Smith about her transcendent six-decade career, from her childhood in Sweden where she dreamed of being an entertainer, to her status as a sex symbol, to becoming a Hollywood grand dame.

Ann-Margret and Roger Smith tied the knot in 1967. They remained together until the actor’s death.

They both carved out sterling reputations as military and political leaders over years of public service.

Publicist Bobby Zarem has died at 84.
