A for Agnetha - the TV special
TV special 1985
Agnetha promoted her album "Eyes of a Woman" by doing a TV special for Swedish TV. She sang several songs from the new album and talked about her life before, during and after the ABBA period. The programme was filmed at various places in and outside Stockholm. Here are some of them.

The first scenes in the programme show Agnetha walking in winter Stockholm and watching the birds. She is precisely in the centre near the bridge called "Strömbron" connecting the Old Town and the Norrmalm district. Two important and ABBA related objects can be seen behind her - the Jacob's Church (1) and the Opera (2). The holy mass for Stikkan Anderson when he died in 1997 was held at the Jacob's Church and the Royal Opera is well known for some reasons as ABBA and Frida perfomances in 1976 & 1993.

Then she takes a short walk towards Grand Hotel where she is met by the guy who recognizes her.
Strömkajen outside Grand Hotel
In fact outside the Grand Hotel at Strömkajen can you catch the boat belonging to Waxholmbolaget "Tynningö" which can be seen later in the programme with Agnetha on. If you want to take some Agnetha related pictures in the summer on the boat check the timetables with www.waxholmsbolaget.se

You don't have to go long if you want to get to the places where the video "Just One Heart" was made because it was made in the very heart of Stockholm Kungsträdgården, Norrmalmstorg (outside Polar Music offices) and outside the warehouse "NK" on Hamngatan. The scene with Agnetha going on the street is filmed on Hamngatan (number 3 on the map). Agnetha is going towards Norrmalmtorg.
 |
 |
 |
The scenes with the clown and partly Agnetha as well were filmed on Hamngatan outside the warehouse "NK" and the head office of the bank "Nordbanken" (present name "Nordea"). Lasse Hallström filmed Frida and Björn exactly here for the "Head Over Heels" video some years before (see number 2 on the map)

At the end of "Just One Heart" video Agnetha can be seen on the ice rink in Kungsträdgården (location no 1 on the map).

Eyes of a Woman - the photo session
 |
 |
 |
 |
The photo session for the album was taken at the Drottningholm Castle outside Stockholm. Probably Agnetha's favorite place in Stockholm. Anyway the balcony on the first floor is the place.

In the summer of 1972 Frida and Benny were photographed in front of the mill in Vallentuna outside Stockholm - just 300 meters from the place where they lived. One of the shots was used as a cover picture for Frida's solo single "Man vill ju leva lite dessemellan".
"Agnetha" - the 2004 documentary

Agnetha Fältskog documentary was aired on Swedish TV on June 4th, 2004. It contained an interview with Agnetha and several videos filmed on the island Ekerö outside Stockholm where Agnetha lives. One of the videos was made on the Ekerö ferry which goes between the island and Fittja (the route E4). If you come to Stockholm by car it is quite easy to find if you follow the sign "Ekerö - ferry". The trip takes about 10 minutes and it costs 40 SEK (about 4 Euro).
