[edit] Life and career
Hallström was born in Stockholm, Sweden. His father was a dentist[1] and his mother was the Swedish writer Karin Lyberg (1907 - 2000). His maternal grandfather, Ernst Lyberg, was the Swedish Minister of Finance in the first cabinet of Carl Gustaf Ekman (1926 - 1928) and leader of the Liberal Party of Sweden (1930 - 1933).
Hallström learned his craft making music videos, in particular for the group ABBA. Since the international success of My Life as a Dog (1985), Hallström has worked in American movies. He was nominated for an Academy Award for the movie The Cider House Rules.
Hallström has two children, Johan (b. 1976) from his first marriage to Malou Hallström (died 3 February 2005) and Tora (b. 1995) by actress Lena Olin, his current wife.
[edit] Videography
Almost all of ABBA's promotional films were directed and shot by Hallström, with the only (seven total) exceptions being "When I Kissed the Teacher" (1977); "Chiquitita" (1979), which was made by the BBC; "I Have a Dream" (1979); "On and On and On" (1980); "Lay All Your Love On Me" (1981); "The Day Before You Came (1982)" and "Under Attack" (1983), which were both directed by Kjell Sundvall and Kjell-Åke Andersson.
