Janet Agren
- Actress
Born in 1949 this Swedish actress had first been a model but when she
came to Italy local producers grasped the opportunity to turn her into
a film beauty. And they can be understood. Blond, tall, slender, shaped
like a goddess she was bound to illuminate every frame of their movies.
The trouble is that, those people were mainly producers of Z movies
(sleazy sex comedies, Decamerotic, low-grade horror movies and all the
kind of exploitation films possible). The year 1972 was an exception as
Janet appeared in three interesting films,
Mike Hodges' Pulp (1972),
Billy Wilder's Avanti! (1972), and mainly
as the Death riding a motor-bike in
Ettore Scola's La piu bella sera della mia
vita (1972). After a twenty-five-year career she finally quit acting in
the early 1990s.
