Agnetha
We know that she could be a convincing actress. When we see her in videos, or in the movie, and she looks so young (Bang a Boomerang), so sweet (The Name of the Game), so accessible (Dancing Queen), was she just acting? There is always that debate whether Björn's lyrics reflected moments in their lives.....
Recently I had occasion to watch Agnetha in the video of Let It Shine. She would be around 36 or 37. She looked peacefully in command of herself. Was she acting? Her movements had a confident, contained grace. I have spent many hours watching the contrasting movements of the girls in ABBA videos. Do you agree: Frida's body moves to the beat, effortlessly; Agnetha finds a different rhythm somewhere in the music, and seems often to be trying real hard. But here, in this video from her late solo career, seeking the sunlight, Agnetha Fältskög seemed perfect and at ease. Was she acting?
Or is it just me?
