      Taurus women in entertainment age pretty damn good, and that includes their appreciation for the young whipper-snappers - they're the eternal sophomoric jokesters with superb cheekbones, outrageously good looks and figures, and an insatiable hunger to yuck it up with the guys - make her yuck and you've got a buddy and maybe even a wife - make her cringe or frown, and she'll lay verbal haymakers on your soul until you adjust to her sensibilities -maybe that's how they stay young.

One scene with a dance crew behind Ann on a stage and the other scene directly opposite Elvis . For anyone interested check them out on You Tube. This girl in this vieo doesnt even come close . Her hair is the same colour and length as Ann's , her cloths are similar in style ... But that is it
