Get an inside look at Ann-Margret recording her lines and songs for The Flintstones
These behind-the-scenes photos from 1963 show the star voicing her modern stone age alter-ego Ann-Margrock.
Most modern stone age parodies on The Flintstones like Alvin Brickrock or Ed Sullystone weren’t voiced by their real-life counterparts. Talented voice actors like Daws Butler provided impersonations that made the prehistoric versions even funnier.
But some household names require the real deal, even for an animated caricature. Sixties star Ann-Margret was one celebrity who voiced her own Flintstones character, naturally named Ann-Margrock.
The actor and singer showed up to the recording studio in 1963 looking glamorous as ever – there was a TV Guide photographer along for the ride, after all.
These photos are a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse at the making of an animated program. They show the cast going over the script, talking with producers William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and recording at the microphone. Ann-Margret even sang two songs for the episode, the lullaby “The Littlest Lamb” and her upbeat tune “I Ain’t Gonna Be Your Fool No More.”
