Career
ABBA, half of which were the parents of Ulvaeus, disbanded in 1983. During this time, Agnetha Fältskog decided to record an LP with her daughter. The LP, that was produced with the help of Michael Tretow, consisted of eighteen traditional Christmas carols and children's songs in Swedish. Nu tändas tusen juleljus was released in Sweden at the end of 1981.
However, Ulvaeus wanted to be an actress. After her musical debut with Nu tändas tusen juleljus, she made her acting debut on 1998 film Under solen as Lena. Ulvaeus then appeared on television series Labyrinten in 2000; in 2001 she appeared on Blå måndag, released directly to the video. She has also developed her career as a stage actress.
Ulvaeus appeared as a back vocal in the 2004 comeback single of her mother, "When You Walk in the Room". In 2006 Ulvaeus returned to big screen with the role of Sofia on 2006 film Meningen med alltihopa. She appeared in television series Playa del Sol in 2007.
