The thing about living abroad is I could be in the queue at the supermarket next to Swedens most famous living singer/actor/painter/playwright and not know! Its kind of nice in a way.
I am reading Fokus’s ’100 people who made the 00 decade’ and thought it would be fun to blog on the Swedes who made that list. So here is the first in a series of blog posts on famous Swedes.
Tomas Alfredson.
Tomas Alfredson is a film director. He directed the vampire movie ‘Let the Right One In’
Dont like horror movies myself but as this film title was inspired a by a Smiths song I can live with it 
Karin Mamma Andersson

Anne Sofie Back

Jocke Berg
Joakim Berg is the singer, songwriter and rhythm guitarist for Swedish Rock Band Kent
Ingmar Bergman
Famous Swedish writer, producer and director. Worth noting that he was hounded by the tax authorities for tax evasion which affected his health. He went into exile from Sweden even though the case against him was later dropped.
I will profile another five more famous Swedes next week.
In the meantime what do you think about any of the above celebs?
