The actress and singer, Ann Margret, may have failed to secure a degree in Northwestern University, but she was successful in pursuing her acting and singing career. During the 1960’s, she was praised for her roles in films such as Bye Bye Birdie, Carnal Knowledge, Viva Las Vegas and The Cincinnati Kid. Because she was so good, she managed to collect five Golden Globe Awards and Emmy Awards. Proving that success and talent was what helped her achieve great heights.

Today, she’s still acting for shows such as Ray Donovan.
