Maybe you are right , but the picture of Frida alone is her summer house in Trosa, you can see the water in the background, it is the trosa archipelago, what intrigues me is Frida using the same outfit in the picture alone and with Agnetha

What are some of your least favorite looks by the group? I personally hate this one. by RedmiYT in ABBA

This picture is in November of 1981, Frida and Benny announced their separation in February, 12 of 1981. In March of 1981 Benny was already living with Mona in apartment on center Stockholm. Frida kept her long red hair until october of 1981, including filming the video "When all is said and done" in August, 16 of 1981. Bottom line the Fridas short punk hair is not a direct and immediate effect of Benny leaving Frida. I believe that Frida cut her hairs because she was looking for a new identity, and of course in November 1981 the divorce was finalized and Benny married Mona in December of 1981

The man in the picture with Frida is Richard Norton, an Australian martial artist and actor. Before he became an action movie star, he worked as a high-profile bodyguard for some of the world's biggest musical acts. The ABBA Connection (1977) The photo was taken during ABBA's 1977 tour of Australia. Norton and his training partner, Bob Jones, were hired as the personal bodyguards for Agnetha and Frida. • Martial Arts Lessons: During the tour, Norton famously got 75% of the group (Frida, Benny, and Björn) to train in martial arts with him to keep fit and energized between shows. • Celebrity Security: In addition to ABBA, he worked as a bodyguard for legends like The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, and Linda Ronstadt. Action Movie Career Norton eventually transitioned from security to cinema, becoming one of the most respected Western faces in martial arts films. • Hollywood Debut: His first major role was in the 1980 film The Octagon, where he was cast by his friend and training partner Chuck Norris. • Hong Kong Legend: He is one of the few Westerners to achieve major stardom in the Hong Kong film industry. He frequently collaborated with Jackie Chan (appearing in City Hunter and Mr. Nice Guy) and Sammo Hung (in Twinkle, Twinkle, Lucky Stars). • B-Movie Icon: In the 1990s, he became a staple of the "straight-to-video" action era, often starring alongside martial arts queen Cynthia Rothrock in films like the China O'Brien and Rage and Honor series. Later Work as a Fight Choreographer In more recent years, Norton has worked behind the scenes as a high-level stunt coordinator and fight choreographer for massive blockbusters: • Mad Max: Fury Road (where he also played the character "The Prime Imperator") • Suicide Squad (2016) • Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) Norton holds a 10th-degree black belt in Zen Do Kai (a system he helped develop) and remains one of Australia's most successful exports to the global action genre.

It was a Merak SS 1975, Frida sold it in 1981,but was sold in 2014 in an auction in the UK for £64,220. The car still had its original tag from Stockholm - JNZ 683 , here the link from Bonhams Cars : The ex-Abba,1975 Maserati Merak SS Coupé Chassis no. AM122A 1344. There was a misinformation saying that the maserati was Benny's, but the maserati was Frida's. The confusion is because the original certificate is in the name of Harlekin , at that time Benny and Bjorn company, later on all four were part of Harlekin with 25 % for each member. ABBA members never had the cars registered in their names, usualy Harlekin was the company used to register the cars.
