Ann-Margret - "Mack The Knife" Screen Test 1961

- Ann-Margret here in January 1961 performing the second part of her screen test which was the personality test where they transformed her look with a rust coloured sweater & black tights which became her trademark look in the early sixties in which here she sings the classic number "Mack the Knife".
No actress today can beat or even match the hotness of Ann in her prime.
She is talented, beautiful, and sexy...
How many artists nowadays would pass such a test? When actors had to know how to act, sing, and dance... Nowadays, it's enough to defend "causes" (ideological).
She was just 19 when she recorded this, and WOW. They knew they had something special.
For those wondering, the personality test was meant to show as many different personality traits (sex appeal, happy, sad, attitude, etc etc) as possible that an actor/singer could portray. That is why you see exaggerated facial expressions.
OMG thank you. I thought she was having a seizure.
@@bmyra 😄😄
Why don't I see big boobs, though? Did she have a late-life growth-spurt?
"personality test" - exactly. The sad thing is, the vast majority of posters for this video don't know this (and won't have read the accompanying info).
Yup. Directors always know they can get an actor to turn it down, but they need to see how much they can turn it up, so the screen test is always over the top.
Sixty years later and she is still captivating.
Try looking at this clip without sound.
What's wrong with her mouth?
@@herrlich1461i did. She looks like brain damaged
@@samsschool3639 I had the same impression. Next I watched a Joe Cocker video without sound. That's even more shocking.
Shes so beautiful, but her singing is whatever, couldn't understand a word. Sha-boing-boing!
Look at the pure confidence in which she gives this performance. She really sales it. A fantastic actress to study and appreciate.
male energy is what you are witnessing.
@@tlcross9620you senses male energy while watching a woman? How?
@@gomezk1493 Easy...he is a man with a man's skeleton. He is providing the proof. Bowling ball head, wide-set eyes, wider shoulders than hips, long arms, long neck, those clavicles...I could go on with the male markers...Skeletal Forensics is a quick and easy tool. The hard part to believe is that they are all TGI (transgendered gender inverted). It is their religion and what they pledge to 🐍 snaken...their very soul...they become both sexes to spit in God's face. Now... let's do Elvis!!! The truth is in the bones. Many people are starting to see the veil removed...the tare is being exposed amongst the wheat.
@@gomezk1493 I think they're talking about her almost aggressive sexuality, but women can be like that too - not just a male thing. Think May West, etc. She has so much energy, & a certain authority/confidence that wasn't usually seen in female performers back then.
*sells
Ann was what could best be described as the "complete package". Singer. Dancer. Actress. Could play comedy. Could play drama. That's a gift.
triple threat!
It almost looks like she’s having fun at home singing in front of the mirror. Certainly fun to watch.
Possibly that's the most effective way to do a screen test.
This is what you call natural talent in abundance!!!! She is captivating!!!!
Such charisma,great timing and vocal range…natural in all ways
I saw her first as a blonde when she played in her first movie, Pocket Full of Miracles. She was born in Sweden and is most definitely a natural beauty. Her bottom jaw has a life of it’s own :).. This is a performance to the max using all her qualities. She can act, sing and dance. She stayed with her husband, even though the last few decades of his life he was disabled. I admire her.
She was so animated and fearless. And to think this was 60 years ago!
and she was only 20
You need to travel back to the days of the Roman Empire: there sure as hell were "animated and fearless" people all over the place back then.
@@pacz8114 ya being fed to lions.. smdh
@@johnwalter9696 The context was "human behaviour" exhibited during "entertainment", Johnny boy.
@@pacz8114 yeah, but they smelled awful and and had hairy armpits.
The camera person blew it! Not showing Ann-Margret from the waist down is criminal.
The previous video did that this is the second part.
Her talent and beauty, (outside, and inside) will never fade. A gem of a performer, and human being.
This woman is so beautiful & talented. You don’t hear much about her but in her heyday, wow, she knocked it out of the park!
She had a glamor and classic look about her that today's stars will never have
@@reyannawynters1800 Wow, did that sound less ignorant, bigoted and prejudiced in your head?
She probably didn't sleep around...
@@antster7 Yeah, right 🙄
Hell thirty years ago I thought she looked amazing in grumpy old men at 60. She is draw dropping here lol 😍😍😍
This is sublime. As much guts here, as talent and beauty. To think, she was 20 here.
19 actually
ah... they don't make them like they used to...
Thought she might have been about that age here
The most charismatic female performer ever!
Got my vote
Isnt that Cardi B?
I don't know about ever but she was sure great
haha
Gotta be up there. Whoa lol
She made her debut record album in 1961, not long after this. I remember buying it at a used record shop in the 1980s as a college kid. I saw her stage show about 20-25 years ago. Very talented.
Well, look at that - I just got mesmerized. Early TV is so fascinating because she’s basically doing a stage version of this performance from a few feet away. She’s essentially playing for the back of the house. Just fan friggin tastic
Agreed
She deserves a 100 /100. She is beauty and grace personified.
I was, and still am, in Love with Ann. I had her picture in my locker. She visited Vietnam three times when I was over there. I never got to see her in person because I was flying. But just knowing she made the effort to come over and see the boys made me love her all the more. She is a talented, beautiful, passionate & patriotic woman.
Not sure the Swedes would consider her a patriot.
@@krashd who cares what the Swedes think of her patriotism. She has been an American for 73 years.
@Mr12348558 Thank you for your service dear Sir, hope all is well, best regards to you and yours.
100% beauty
100% talent
100% charisma
She's a flawless 300
No autotune.
No special effects.
No bullshit.
All talent.
better than anything you ve ever seen on Tiktok :)
You geezers are so dramatic. Lol
With your salty comment lol
@@dantegood2195 OK Boomer.
@Jason Butche this isn't lip synced whatsoever. Whenever it came to screentests back then, the actors had to really go to the extreme when it came to auditioning for film musicals like Triple B.
She was "discovered" by George Burns, who saw in her a pure, natural talent. She has never disappointed...class lady...
Ann-Margret didn't need a personality test. She's got a great personality!
I’ve watched this more times than I care to admit. What a talent and what beauty!
I'm 46 and just discovered this gorgeous creature, wow! What a talent, I might be in love. Just something about her.
True story: My 5th grade teacher once asked us: what person do we admire the most? When it was my classmate Jose's turn, he said: Ann Margaret!
Oh my God, what a beautiful-God given voice and such confidence. Definitely a legend and one of the best actresses and singer ever!
I watched with the sound off and was still mesmerized. All time talent, beauty and personality.
A screen test allows one to show their range of expressions and emotions. Some here complain she's too over the top, but she gave them what they wanted and the rest is history
I guess so. Way bizarre, and not as good looking as I’d heard she was, but at least she’s not boring?
@@LKaramazov You must be a bitter female.
Chloe Adams a bitter male for sure.
@@ascent8487 What you don't know is that this dude is everywhere in these types of videos calling her a bitch and psycho and all that all the while putting so much effort in making degrading comments about Ann which seems pretty bitter to me. This makes it not a matter of whether people have their own preference in appeal but the disrespect people show when they find someone who isnt good looking to them and to answer your question am I bitter? a hard NO.. just irked by the immense of disrespect displayed by this certain bitter person, but I appreciate the concern😐
@@ascent8487 And sorry to disappoint but the majority of people dont share your sentiment of her being weird or bad looking most find her bursting with charisma and absolutely stunning to boot she even scared Elvis the king himself during viva las vegas for almost stealing his spotlight by the immense amount of attention she was getting so.. yea.
I'm in love. The hair, the smile, the persona... she was was a little firecracker.
Yeah mmmhmmmmm
gross. she's not that attractive. why make everything sexual.
A true man killer. Irresistible.
@@dedpxl what? she's not that attractive? What drugs are you on?
How about the smell?
She pulled every trick, every move, every eye lash to impress. And it worked perfectly.
If this amazing woman was only 19 on this screen test, she is EVEN more talented that I thought she was.
You have to remember it's a personality audition , she has to show every facial expression , toss of hair , and whatever else she has to catch the eye of producers . It was an audition .
Good point, cuz that is one weird woman!
@@LKaramazov That's called talent
This was only the pretext before hitting the casting couch. Then, the real audition begins. An A+ performance and she got the job. Good girl.
@@hwoods01 and you're what, 13? Congratulations on being another example of a sick society
Yep.somebody gets what a casting is.
She was perfect at the stage. An excelent singer, dancer and actress. Besides, she had a stunning beauty.
Ann=Margret could do it all. She could dance, sing, and act. It goes without saying, so very beautiful. I was nine at the time of this screen test. Here I am, 62 years later, still marveling at this talented and gifted woman.
When talent was talent. Sadly it will never again be the same.
Her expressiveness reminds me of Elvis. It's no wonder those two vivacious entertainers hooked up.
I agree. In her biography, she said they were "so much alike".
Yeah,but his dumbass wanted an underage Priscilla.
Vince Taylor's version was a carbon copy.
I didn't know Elvis busted those cheeks
She said Elvid was lame and useless in bed.
Wow! So beautiful, talented and such charisma! It doesn't get any better!
She will always be one of the very best talents.and to think she did it without a wardrobe malfunction.
What a smile-inducing performance!
My dad had a little thing for her and in 1975 when the movie Tommy came out he saw she was in it and took me with him to see it. He had no idea really about the Who or what was in store for him until the famous baked bean scene with Anne. I'll never forget and get a big grin when I remember noticing the look on his face and his body language when that scene played out. He looked like " OMG I'm sitting next to my son who is seeing this with me please let this end soon!" Ah! Memories! Ann-Margret was Smokin' Hot!
That was a commonplace scenario in the fantastically strange decade we call the 70’s. Very interesting time we grew up in. Thanks for sharing this memory.
Tommy was the movie that caused me to girl-crush on Ann-Margret & to REALLY crush on Jack Nicholson!
I was an 8-year-old girl when I saw "Tommy" and the baked bean scene, which I found lurid but fascinating. Freaked me out, but not as badly as "Do You Think It's Alright" or "Fiddle About". I left the room within seconds of both those songs.
I didn't know until recently that she is a natural brunette. To me, she is more beautiful as a brunette, but maybe if the industry hadn't made her a redhead, she would have been just another beautiful girl. During the Vietnam War, she did shows in country for the troops -- USO I think -- which were a tremendous morale booster for them. Many thanks to her for that, from a Vietnam veteran. She and the other entertainers who did those shows could have been making a lot more money spending their time doing something other than that. In my opinion, they are heroes.
She’s absolutely gorgeous 🥰🥰🥰
She is so beautiful & talented,no wonder another great talent, by the name of Elvis,found her so attractive!
OMG. I’ll give her props for her commitment. But it’s definitely over the top.
She encompasses women from age three to fifty in a matter of seconds with those emotive moves and facial expresssions. I love it. It’s hard to keep up with which personality is happening each second but it’s pure entertainment!
AMOR PERFEITO DE ELVES ALMA GÊMEA.
True that...she can change personalities on a dime. It'd take a REAL man to handle such a woman.
Well she is still alive and 81 years old :) She has the x factor for sure
THIS IS WHEN TALENT AND BEAUTY WAS THE REAL DEAL !!!!!!!!!!
NOT THE FAKE JUNK WE SEE TODAY.
I'll assume that sounded less blinkered and prejudiced in your head, Granddad.
Yes brother
I'll give you the beauty part but I don't think she sounds good.
@@Lazy_Sundae Beauty? And I suppose that you think Kim Kardashian is the most beautiful woman in the world LOL? She was long before my time period. But why don't you take a serious look around at today's starlets. She doesn't even appear to hardly be wearing little or no makeup
@@reyannawynters1800 Sorry, I don't talk to cherry-picking bigots.
The camera loves her. She's very photogenic. Beautiful and talented.
The person behind the camera also loves her.
I liked all the facial expressions and her playful rendition of the song
Grandpa saw her perform live in Vegas. Was quite the show.
An all Natural Lady!💓 A forever HEART Dream!😍
I'm addicted to this.
I need a fix every so often.
Whoever did a screen test of Ann-Margret from the waist-up only committed a crime against humanity :|
@@jefftis1 Alright, that's more like it.
@@keepinmahprivacy9754 👊🏻
I was thinking the same thing
Done on purpose. Remember the fuss over Elvis pelvis and Mary Tyler Moore’s pants.
😂
She is absolutely stunning, amazing beautiful and talented!
I'm almost 62 been in love with her as a entertainer sents the age of 5 saw her in a Elvis movie and puppy love stuck me hard!!! Lol she is one class act. Grumpy old men she was a senior citizen and was still as attractive as ever!!
She was so drop dead gorgeous! Good grief! Bombshell of the silver screen!
Big screen goddess in the making, she has it all, still has it and has been in quite a few movies as an older woman too, classy, graceful and still so beautiful. Love love love her dancing!
She's only 20 here. So adorable. A lot more natural looking than subsequently.
Jesus Christ, this chick was rockin it hard! Don’t know why RUclips recommended it but glad it did
What a great entertainer. The facial expressions are numerous and interesting. A great package. They do not makem like that anymore.
She's a real impressing women! Love to see her, lover her voice and humor! I hope someone reads these lines and tells her, how much I adore her!
She's fantastic. Credit where it's due too: the combo backing her is really good.
She is performing a style of music that most modern audiences are not familiar with. These songs are often originally by black artists-she is performing in the style of a jazz singer, a nightclub chanteuse. If you watch media from the late 50s and early 60s, it was a different type of singing and dance that was considered “sexy”. Rather than the modern twerking, arched backs and running hands up and down the body…it was tucked stomachs and tushes, a lifted hand, jazz/modern dance style dancing, a vivacious look to the face. Not sure exactly about this song but I’ve seen her “Bill Bailey” test and that’s an Ella Fitzgerald song, which she executed perfectly *in the style of the song*
"Won't You Come Home, Bill Bailey" is not an Ella song...she is just one of the many talented women who covered it. Pearl Bailey also covered the song. It was actually written by a man, Hughie Cannon. First published in 1902, it was a Dixieland Jazz Standard. It was originally largely performed by white entertainers, Genaro and Baily, a popular American Vaudeville Duo, by both Arthur Collins on Columbia and Silas Leachman on Victoria. It wasn't until much later that we heard the beautiful styling of Della Reese, who put it on her album "Special Delivery" and Ella who often performed it live, in the 60's...among many other talented females. "Mack the Knife" was written for a musical drama and became a standard after Louie Armstrong covered it.
@@absolutenobody4137 yes, not many wrote the songs they sung back then. If your version was the most famous one, it was “your” song. Like Elvis and Hound Dog even though it was a Big Mama Thornton song first (and better imho)
Its not my taste
I knew she was a big star when she appeared as Ann Margrock on the Flintstones:)
What about the Who's Tommy? Have you seen her in that? Amazing, good movie too. But not as good once I learnt about Peado Townshend and him being a main writer for the rock drama, and then seeing uncle Ernie, who Keith Moon plays in Tommy. It taints what I used to once really enjoy.
It's still a classic tho, and definitely well worth a watch, the soundtrack especially.
Here's a short clip in case you haven't heard of it. Lots of proper talent in it. Ollie Reed, Robert Powell, Paul Nicholas etc.
🤣🤣🤣was so going to reference that
OMG, I remember that too, LOL!!!
I guess Rock Hudson was already a perfect name for the show 😅
She made the troops so happy. What a great Lady.
Hello Nida, How are you doing?
Even in black and white, you can see her power and her fire inside!
One of my favorites for many years! What a beautiful woman😁
She isn’t just attractive, visually - she’s just enormously talented!
She's more like normal girl pretty. Not unrealistically hot
Obviously proud of herself.
Confidence brings out the green monsters! I am sure she experienced that in her life!
@@andrewpestotnik5495 Stop yanking to porn multiple times a day and exaggerated depictions of a woman. She is hot and you being meh about it suggests a porn addict.
Her vocals and timing are just off the charts!! What an incredible talent!
Chairs turned in less than a second, if she participate in todays The Voice.
Dude those vocals are terrible! Only about three notes she hits that have any discernible pitch.
@@Shskfjekdnf38587 I agree. Bobby Darin is the better choice for this song!
@@Shskfjekdnf38587It was a train wreck. 😅
It's not surprising that she rose to fame back then.
She was beautiful, entertaining, and there was just something about her that nobody else had.
I have to think that the people who witnessed these auditions went home that night and talked about her.
Real talent all around, Ann and the band
Real talent, no computer to adjust the performance!
She was on a USO tour in Vietnam in 66 and a 8x10 color photo of her in VERY tight tights coming down airplane access steps was unbelievable!
Ann-Margret's dancing made it ok to give it your all and that your hair is also part of the choreography!
Yes Ann-Margaret is back in town for Christmas today!!🎄🎄🤩🤩🤗🤗🤗
I can see everyone around her there smiling...
Yeah. Real beauty is timeless.
Every note, every phrase with incredible expression and sensual vitality. She was a star even before she became famous!
I always had a crush on Ann-Margret. So very talented and yet also a knockout!!
Wow. She’s mesmerizing.
WOW!! Those facial expressions captivate me. This woman is HOT HOT HOT
i thought was the expression of drunkeness
She captivated many -on many levels- in those days. Don't ask me how I know.
@@briza2022 i thought the expression of someone withdrawing from meth. Or just took a rail
@@JackDog2024 or just psycho
Viva Las Vegas was her best at this.
I was born in 1958 and this was made in 1961......and here I am in 2024 "falling in love" with Ann Margaret ......
Amazing. Less than 2 minutes... and a star is born.
She is one of a kind...always electric. Luv her!
Hello Lisa, How are you doing?
Agreed 100 percent
Studio Exec in 1961: "We don't have any new talent that can truly hold the screen."
Ann-Margret: "Hold my sheet music."
She is gorgeous off the charts!
My 27 time ….. coming back for Mrs Ann …. Never enough.
The chemistry between her and Elvis was 🔥
This has got crazy woman written all over it.
Got wordless. Simply fantastic, astonishing! Wonderful
It’s impossible to not watch the whole thing after first 5 secs. Forever my celebrity crush.
stunning and super talented!
The rest is history! Amazingly expressive and talented!
She's so charismatic!!!
Maravilhosa, talento de sobra, cantava e interpretava como poucas!Eterna!
At 19, she was hot.
At 79? Well, still hot.
She was great what a fire and life in her performance👍👍👍👍
The jaw rock says a millions things. She's a true artist.
There is the woman who captivated Elvis. Such a gem.
