Martin Vilhelm Ljung (born August 15, 1917 in Notviken, Luleå, died September 30, 2010 in Stockholm) was a Swedish comedian, actor and singer.

His movie debut was in the 1947 movie Tappa inte sugen starring Nils Poppe.

Ljung worked together with Povel Ramel for many years, and acted and sang in several of Ramel's revues, where he also performed comic monologues, including Ester and Fingal Olsson, which have become Swedish comedy classics.

He also worked with Hasse Alfredson and Tage Danielsson, both in revues such as Spader, Madame! and Glaset i Örat (The Glass in the Ear) and movies such as Äppelkriget.

Sickan Anna-Greta Carlsson (12 August 1915 – 2 November 2011) was a Swedish film actress and singer.

From the 1930s to 1950s, Carlsson was Sweden's most popular film actress and its highest paid, topping the salary of even the most popular male performer. She was also an accomplished singer and recording artist and performed on stage and in musical revues. She was noted for her comedic films, which peaked during World War II. Several of her films from this period include upbeat musical numbers intended to raise the morale of her war-weary audiences. The characters she portrayed in the post-war years were often more complex than those she had played previously and featured less of her singing talents. Her screen persona was that of a carefree, energetic young woman who faced everyday problems with optimism. Her films were immensely popular and often had long runs in theaters.^{[citation needed]}

Carlsson is most closely associated with two directors: Schamyl Bauman (in films from 1945 to 1955) and Hasse Ekman (1956–65). Although remembered mostly for her light-hearted roles, she was also able to portray darker characters when called upon. One of her best known dramatic outings was in 1961's Lustgården (aka The Pleasure Garden), with a script written specifically for her by Ingmar Bergman.

Arve Opsahl (May 14, 1921 – April 29, 2007) was a Norwegian movie and stage actor, singer and stand-up comedian.

Opsahl began his career as a comedian in 1942, and played numerous roles both on stage and in more than forty movies. He was then chosen to be the head of Olsenbanden, Egon Olsen. He played Egon Olsen in the first movie in 1969, and in all other 13 movies, until the last one in 1999. He is also well known for his role as the old man "Henry" in the Norwegian sitcom Mot i brøstet, airing from 1993-1997. In December 2005 Opsahl's death was prematurely announced online by the newspaper VG, an event to which the comedian reacted with humour. The revue king, Leif Juster, actually didn't want to use him on stage at first because of his "screaming" voice.

Rolf-Göran Bengtsson (born June 2, 1962 in Lund, Sweden) is a Swedish show jumper. He won a silver medal in the 2008 Summer Olympics in the individual jumping, and also a silver medal in the team jumping event at the 2004 Summer Olympics.

From 1997 to 2003 he worked at the stable of Jan Tops in Valkenswaard. Since 2003 Bengtsson lives in Breitenburg in Northern Germany where he runs his own stable together with Bo Kristoffersen.

The mexican billionaire Alfonso Romo is a major financier to Bengtsson's ventures into the world elite of show jumping.
