Moonlighting as the Queen.
Do you look like somebody famous? Say, Princess Madeleine? If so, you can moonlight in a glamorous way! Isn’t that Queen Silvia over there, eating a hot dog? No, it’s Marja Leena Kallatsén. She is 59 years old and her job is being the Swedish queen’s look-alike. Already when Silvia married the king, Kallatsén was told she looked like her, and a few years later she became a look-alike extra. Her first job was a huge gala at Berns, arranged by hundreds of Germans. “It was an amazing feeling, people applauded and I really felt like a queen,” Kallatsén says. After that other jobs followed, she played the queen in Roy Andersson’s “Sånger från andra våningen”, she has participated in charity parties in Florida and opened a gala at Stadshuset. Every time it’s the same, Kallatsén is made-up and dressed up just to resemble Queen Silvia, and then she mingles with the rest of the people. Anette Walles, director of Entertainmix (a company that hires look-alikes for private parties and events) says they’re now looking for a king for Kallatsén’s queen, as well as a Carl Philip, a Daniel Westling, and a Madonna. Anyone?
