Obviously she's very beautiful. But in some pictures, like this second one, Frida has near perfect facial features. I don't know anything about modelling but if she hadn't been a brilliant singer, it seems to me she could have easily made a living doing that. |

Great finds, Christine. Wasn't there a story about when Polar sent those videos to 'Countdown' in Australia? When they were shown on TV, apparently some Aussies thought that the two girls were models lip-synching to the songs in the films.

Yes. Wearing a belt in some, a jacket in others.

They're all great but that first one is so nice and clear. Pretty Frida on a pretty Autumn day.  |

Me too Tony. She looks very prim and demure there. |

Very nice. Did she actually play piano at all?

According to 'Bright Lights Dark Shadows' I think she did have lessons and her grandmother managed to get a piano on a payment plan. I'm not sure how accomplished she became or how much is forgotten without constant practice. But when you think of it. Some of the most influential people in her life and career have been pianists. Gunnar Sandevarn, Charlie Norman, Benny of course, Agnetha too. Jon Lord. So she's been around the instrument for much of her life. At the completion of the 'Something's Going On' album. Phil Collins encouraged her to write songs of her own and she has said that she travelled around with a keyboard composing. So I guess she can tap out a simple tune at least. |

Looking at the photos on this page alone, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was maybe five different women. Frida really is quite the chameleon.

Looking at the photos on this page alone, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was maybe five different women. Frida really is quite the chameleon. I'd say that's quite daring especially for an entertainer. Part of her appeal is to me is what seems like fearlessness in experimenting with her appearance. In some cases she really did look like a different woman depending on the photo you see. But her pretty smile is always the same. |

Frida once said that she wasn't much of a "strategist" when it came to her career and I guess that might partly explain that stylistic fearlessness. I imagine that maverick streak would be a nightmare for modern management/record companies. Can you imagine, say, a member of Little Mix being allowed to change her hairstyle on a whim - including half way through a tour ('79)? I quite admire that what-the-heck feisty streak in her!

Ah, But the ABBA / Polar relationship wasn't the usual band / record company tie up. I mean, how often does this kind of thing go on between singer and the head honcho?
And his missus there too.

For sure! They were different times - and mostly for the better, I think.

I would say this just appears to be a photo op at an odd moment.
But...my...what is Frida wearing? This has me wondering if it is truly candid or a photoshoot of some kind.
Or maybe just chalk it up to different times and different cultures?

That was the surprise breakfast party for Stig's 50th birthday. Frida, Agnetha and others (including Lena, I think) dressed as high-kicking dancers in fishnet tights, garters and hammer-tail jackets.  |

Thahks, Tony. Talk about the best part of waking up. Come to think of it, Mrs Anderson doesn't look too pleased.
