I will try and make this a weekly feature. More Swedish Celebrities from the Fokus list of the ’100 people who made the 00 decade.’
I take out the foreign ones and concentrate on the Swedish ones in an effort to learn more about who is who!
Ok even I know the first one for todays Swedish celebrity blog post..
Step forward Miss Bernadotte, better known as Princess Victoria, the Swedish Crown Princess.
She does come across as very sympathetic. Certainly not as arrogant or snobbish as the British Royal Family. I think she will do a great job when she takes over from her old man the King!
Oh wow and I know the next one, well certainly by name:
Hans Blix
Hans Blix headed up the UN Weapons Inspection team in Iraq. He criticised the British and US Government for dramatising the situation in Iraq before it was fashionable to do so.
He was also Swedens Foreign Minister in the late Seventies and a member of Folkpartiet.
Bert Bolin
Bert Bolin was a Swedish meteorologist who servied on the first climate change panel. He passed away in 2007
And another one I know…
Anders Borg
Swedens serving Finance Minister and member of Moderaterna.
Arvid Carlsson
Arvid Carlsson is a Swedish Scientist who is best known for his work with neurotransmitter dopamine and its effects on Parkinsons Disease. For his work n Dopamine he received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2000.
He also debatted against the fluoridation of water in Sweden saying that medicine should be on an individual basis and not one size fits all.
I dont like to cheapen the work of scientists by calling them celebrities but I am learning a lot by including them.
Tune in next week for more!
