Yes, Pierre, Frida is a very strong lady. She had very much luck in life, money, fame, beauty, charme, but also a hard destiny with her family and husbands. After having a fall she stood up very fast everytime, and thatŽs admirable!

With her place in the group certainly she always could be happy, because she and Agnetha were the most popular members of ABBA, and as one of the leadsingers she had a very important role in the group.

Hello Pierre
I think Frida's exsperiances in life have made her a strong woman ,I have not read the book you are talking about but i have read Frida was very self critical and insecure when growing up,Even in Abba's early career Frida was going throu stage fright and anxietys,She overcame this but i do believe Frida had a complex personality in those days i think from what is written Frida suffered from depression what i know is horrrible, I also feel Frida has always been a perfectionist who pushed herself too the limits she always wanted to give 100% too anything she does in her private life or proffesional,Frida is an astute person a humanist,I always think Frida's life has been like a rollercoaster some brilliant highs but also some very sad dramatic lows,Frida is a lady who always seems to be able to take what ever life throws at her with grace and dignity i do admire her strenth and courage!

Frida's life really would make a good film both personally and professionally. All the extreme highs and lows. She has come through it all with the right upbeat approach. She seems happy now as well. I always like a film with a happy ending. :wink:

Frida has a remarkable personality indeed, the strength being one of the most conspicuous traits, together with persistance.

We all know quite a lot about her life - her difficult childhood, her trying to have a successful career before ABBA, and that not happening. To achieve that she moved to Stockholm and endured suffering for not being able to be with her children. I don't need to say how painful it is, really.

Then comes ABBA, the career takes off but still, at the age of 30, the depression lurks around her, a period of insecurity and she starts (as Joe already said) questioning everything. Luckily, Benny was around as a solid support.

However, all this did not take off that gorgeous smile off her face and a wonderful sense of humour and all that energy! We can also see that she successfully defeated the monster of stage fright and therefore became the frontwoman in concerts - running around the stage and enjoying it immensely. When I watch these early ABBA performances - around 1975-1976 - I know it was a very difficult period for her and she was in the process of overcoming it - I wonder where she gathered all that strength from. I particularly have So Long Made in Sweden in mind. She was having so much fun in that one and yet those were hard times for her.

She deserves nothing but respect. 8)

frida's personnality
It seems that rida had "bad" relations with her grand mother (different generations) and that their relations became good at the end of the life from this woman.
Abot her father, Frida decided to stopped to have any relations with him in 1983 because she was almost sure that he always knew that Frida's mother was inclosure (?: is it the good word?).
I seems that in her life she must always be abble to find her own solutions and that she was always very worthy.
