Frida’s is the most amazing person I have ever met. She’s gracious, kind and ethereal. I met her when ABBA got inducted into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame in 2010 and she was just absolutely amazing.
what rubbish, she`s had to deal with some horrendous blows but she buttoned up her coat, turned up her collars and struggled through the wind, rain and anything else life`s storms have thrown at her like the class act she is. i`d like to take this opportunity to thank that german soldier and norweigan lady for bringing such a beautiful soul who has made millions happy into the world. plenty of f##ked up things happened during WWII but anni-frid lyngstad coming into the world wasnt one of them.
This is ridiculous. Frida found it hard to cope with the media? And she had a 'dark secret'? At least in one interview she told the story of her father, what the Hell with you people? No wonder ABBA refused to let them use their music.
I agree. Describing Frida as the 'shy introspective one' doesn't make sense at all. She always presented friendly and full of life and energy. Agnetha was the one who was supposed to be the 'shy' one. The only good thing about it are the photos and film footage. It's better to read the book "Bright Lights, Dark Shadows' which goes into quite a lot of detail about Frida's personality. Edington doesn't know what he's talking about.
I agree this guy is absolutely clueless. I’ve met Frida, I met her when they got inducted into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame in 2010 and she was absolutely gracious, kind and gorgeous.

Dick1965: the only 'dark secret' is that Nazi-Lebensbornproject in Norway and the way that Norway coped with it after the war. The 'tyskbarn' or 'German childs' were hated and locked up in institutions for decades. Frida was very lucky that she escaped that fate because her mother and grandmother decided to move to Sweden. So Frida had a chance to live a happy life and start a magnificent carreer. She knew that her father was German, but thought he had died during the war. There's is absolutely nothing to blame on Abba, or Frida. It's also guite normal that they wanted to protect their privacy as much as possible.
Lol me too lol I thought how silly he say that Frida is the quite one! We all know she was the fun of the party so to speak aye. Some these documentary so need to get it right. Frida always spoke the most out of the too girls. Oh well at least we know Frida better than they do lol.
Let me guess. The secret of Frida is that her father was a German soldier stationed in Norway? Oh the horror. Seriously. It's war. Soldiers and civilians are just people trying to make it through alive. And along the way a bit of companionship is welcomed. We're all humans in the end, no matter what "side" we are on in a war. This documentary makes it sound as if this is some sort of crime, that her father was German. Dear Lord...
Dave Ad in 1945 in Norway it was a crime. The women who'd had affairs with German soldiers were publicly shamed and had their heads shaved, and the babies were put into institutions
Well said, I wish this bad stuff wasn't shown at all. Abba were a nice group that brought happiness to our lives, they should be left alone by cheap tv progs.
Anni-Frid Lyngstad (Russe; also Hasse/Fredrickson/and Andersson) has gone through so many changes in hair and appearances that she's almost the female David Bowie!
The authors of this piece are low rent garbage merchants. Cudos to ABBA management to deny the authors permission to use their music. Richard Carpenter would be proud!
Why is it Frida's secret? She was a baby. Please. Plus, you ought to know about the people you talk about. Frida was not quiet. She was bubbly and outgoing. She had and has a wonderful spirit and personality. Please
What has happened here is that the History Channel initially made a programme about WW2 and the Lebensborn project. Then after the Tyskerbarn (the children of German soldiers) took the Norwegian government to court over their post-war suffering, the programme makers updated it to include their stories and then included Anni-Frid's sad start to life to create more interest. She was in fact the result of a love affair, the sort of which was happening all over war-torn Europe in WW2. Her family had no dealings with the Lebensborn program and her father denied any knowledge of it too. He was a conscripted soldier into the regular army (Wehrmacht) so it would be wrong to assume where his political beliefs lay. The Lebensborn program was set up and run by Himmler's SS, the real master-race fanatics and believers in Nazi ideology. SS members were vetted to prove they were racially 'pure' and prospective mothers underwent this too. Of course, Lebensborn or not, young Anni-Frid was in real danger of the same retribution meted out to those other innocent kids in post-war Norway. Luckily, her grandmother got her to the safety of Sweden. Many years later, when it was discovered that her father had survived the war (Anni-Frid grew up believing he'd died as his ship, returning to Germany, was reported as sunk). He had no knowledge that he'd fathered a child, just before he was evacuated. As regards his relationship with Anni-Frid's mother, he stated... 'I think she regarded our relationship much as I did. The world was in flames. It was a matter of 'living for today'. Tomorrow we may be dead'.
"They wanted to be remembered for their music" - how bad (irony). No one of them had anything incriminating at all. If someone had a parent or similar that was bad in some respect, he or she had freed themselves from it. They all were lovely people. How much you ever want - of what reason I don't care - you can't do anything about that!
agneta was the quiet shy one that said nothin in interviews at times come on seriously im gonna watcha ll this too see what more their getting mixed up
There are plenty of Abba interviews all over RU-vid which were filmed in the '70s, so I really don't understand this curtain of secrecy the video is going on about.
Abba and Frida are such amazing, incredible stories without this BS sensationalism, you just have to ask one question to the documentary makers about this garbage, gossip documentary: Why?
Abba didn't step into a disco dominated 70s. That came along at the end of the decade after Glam Rock and Punk and Prog Rock and Rock generally was prominent. Some of the narration in this doc is not great. Frida wasn't hiding a dark secret as this doc says but merely wouldn't have felt the need to publicise her past. Why should she? Rather sensationalist.
Que tanto hablan solo por hacer publicidad de una persona famosa hablar de su infancia respecten la privavidad de Annifrid todos conocemos su vida es una persona maravillosa
