Janet Ågren was born on April 6, 1949 in Lanskrona, Skåne
län, Sweden. Janet once described Lanskrona to Italian entertainment
journalists as a "Northern Naples." Her modeling career brought her
to Rome where she studied acting at the Drama School directed by Alessandro
Fersen. She made her film debut in Luciano Salce's “Colpo di stato” (1968). She
appeared in a total of 57 films, including her only Euro-western “They Call Me
Providence” (1972) starring Tomas Milian and directed by Giulio Petroni
followed by such memorable films as Lucio Fulci's Paura “Nella città dei morti
viventi” (1980), Umberto Lenzi's “Mangiati Vivi” (1980), Carlo Vanzina's
“Dagger Eyes” (1983), Richard Fleischer's “Red Sonja” (1985) and Sergio
Martino's “Hands Of Steel” (1986). Janet also appeared in 1972 Jack Lemmon
comedy “Avanti!” as a nurse. In the early 1980s she also had a brief musical
career. She quit acting in the early 1990s and moved to the U.S.A. where she
currently resides in Miami, Florida.
Today we celebrate Janet Agren’s 65th birthday.
