A totaly unrelated thread reminded me of this. A couple of weeks back on the radio they played a song by Nina and Frederik.

The anouncer then went on to tell quite an amazing story about the couple. Their marriage was, apparantly, a fairy tale romance of the 50's. He was the crown prince (or some such) of somewhere and she was considered to be the most beatiful model from Sweden. Their marriage was the talk of Europe and Scandinavia at the time and the fact that they went on, in the 1960's, to be musical celebreties with lots of TV time was the icing on the cake.

The marriage did not last unfortunately and after their split Nina had some measure of sucess as an actress. Frederik, however, became involved in some very shady activities and some years later was shot dead in Havana during a drug deal!

I have been unble to corroborate this and it could be a result of bad memeory, poor hearing, mis-information or all three - the old grey cells aint what they used to be:-(

Anyone know any more?
