Actress Janet Agren at the peak of her career was called the sex symbol of not only European, but also world cinema. Winning a beauty contest in Sweden gave her a chance to become famous, which she immediately took advantage of. Now Janet Agren lives in the USA.
In the country of the Dream Factory, where cinema is one of the most powerful locomotives of the economy, where Hollywood stars earn millions of dollars, Agren for some reason preferred to do business rather than act in films. But then, in the early 1990s, many of her fans cherished the dream of seeing her in large overseas projects. Their hopes were in vain: as it turned out later, she finally tried on the image of a business woman.
There is an opinion among critics that Janet Agren failed to realize her creative potential one hundred percent, and it is, admittedly, quite justified.
