The airplane Richie Valens, Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper died in was NOT named "The American Pie", although Don McLean may have written his song of that name about their deaths.
Ann-Margret was NOT a natural redhead. I went to both jr. high and high school with her. BLACK-haired Swedish immigrant Ann-Margret Olsson eventually had that cute chipped front tooth capped. She WAS head cheerleader, though. She starred in several school stage productions, belting out songs like "Heat Wave" so they reverberated off the back of the 2,000?-seat auditorium and sent chills up my spine.
"I went to both jr. high and high school with her."
I am very impressed. I love her. Is she as sweet and nice as she still seems to be?
I saw her on Robert Schuller's show recently (my mom in law never misses that) and she said her greatest show biz moment was when she was able to "buy her parents a house".
