Annifried’s father 1977
This is a quite amazing story, unthinkable in this globalised Internet age: How Bravo brought together ABBA’s Annifried with her German father, who she thought had died in the war. For his part, he didn’t know he had as daughter in Norway whose mother was shamed to move to Sweden.
In 1977 a young Bravo reader recognised her grandfather as Annifried’s possible father. She contacted Bravo, who did a bit of sleuthing, and then brought the star and the rather surprise father together.
