In the years that followed, Elvis and Ann-Margret moved on. The King married Priscilla on May 1, 1967, and exactly one week later, on May 8, 1967, Ann-Margret married Roger Smith, a Hollywood producer.
However, just a month later (in June 1967) Elvis visited Ann-Margret in Las Vegas where she was opening her first show in the City of Sin.
Billy Smith, a key member of the Memphis Mafia, heard this meeting was particularly powerful for Elvis as he ended up proposing to Ann-Margret during this brief meeting.
“I’m sure he made the first move to get back in touch,” Billy said in Alanna Nash’s book Elvis and the Memphis Mafia: “I’d heard he’d even proposed to her after she was already married to Roger.”
