I HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLE EMBARRASSEED
OVER MY PARENTS
Today is Linda Ulvaeus her own star. At the moment she is playing in "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Wolf?"at Lorensbergsteaterna i Gotheburg.
But it has affected her to be the most famous daughter of two of the most famous Swedes; Agnetha Fältskog and Björn Ulvaeus. Sometimes the kids at school made fun of her by singing ABBA-songs.
- It really hurt my feelings and I and I can tell you if "ordinary" kids have felt ashamed about their parents so have really felt ashamed. Between 13 och 17 she suffered from bulimia and the teen years were very diffcult.
- I was a wild child and didn't feel at home anywhere. I ended up i the wrong gangs. I became a part of a gang that was pretty wild.
MOVED TO THE COUNTRY
The salvatation came in the fom of a pony, Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson and Linda moved out to the country. Later on she discovered acting. Half way through theathreschool she discovered she was pregrant.
- There I was doinb ballet excercises 8 monht pregnant.Still the timing was quite OK.Linda took a break from school and stayed home with Tilda for 3 years and then she was able to continue her education. Tilda's dad is Jens Ekengren "quite an ordinary suit guy who works for Vodafone". Linda used to meet him at the video store at Ekerö and they have been a couple of 11 years now. But Linda remembers the first meeting with his "in-laws" as difficult for everyone involved.
Today Linda stands with both feet on the ground, and when something's trobuling her she has her on remedy: Driving a tractor is very good therapy. It's a very good way to get rid of the bad feelings.
