_ Ann-Margret said as she stood on the stage of New York

City’s Radio City Music Hall, looking out at the giant

audience area—empty except for TV cameras.

She said, ‘‘When | walked in here on the first day of
rehearsal, my mind went back to the first time | came to
America from Sweden. | was just six then. My mother and
! came to New York aboard a'ship which no longer. exists,

the Gripsholm. to meet my father who had preceded us.

1 didn’t speak a word of: English. .
. “tremember so many things about that time. One is
seeing the Statue of Liberty, one of the first things | saw

as we approached New York harbor. And another is Radio |

_ City Music: Hall. My father took my mother and me. there

the first or second night we were here. ‘remember that
New York City was too expensive for our little family and
we couldn't stay too long.” vi
Her birthplace was Valsjobyn, a little village in the
north of Sweden near the Arctic. Circle. ‘When we eft,
there were 183 inhabitants, including cows and horses. But
when we went back to visit three years ago, the number

‘had shrunk ‘to 150. You can imagine what New York City

looked like to.a little girl raised in a tiny Swedish village
where it was always cold. And then to come to Radio City
Music Hall! A giant stage, with people performing: ‘on
it—the first time | had seen professional entertainers ‘on
stage. | was thrilled. It was a sense of excitement that |
carry in my heart always.” a,
_ Ann-Margret said she learned to love being ‘a:
performer in Valsjobyn. “‘My mother was an amateur
entertainer there..She would teach me Swedish songs and
she would move around while she sang—dnd | would love
to mimic her. | learned how to harmonize, too. We used
to live with my uncle and my mother's mother. Friends
and relatives used to come over and | would see the joy
we were giving them with our songs. They would smile
when we sang a happy song. Then, we, would sing
something sad—there's one number, ‘Violets For Mother,
which is really sad. Then, they would cry. The feeling that
we were Communicating, that we were sharing an emotion

with them—that's what made me know | wanted to be
an entertainer.” . | |
