She was the original lead singer for Ace of Base, which is a Swedish group of course. I already posted a thread about her sister (Jenny) a while back, but how would you classify her, and where do you think she passes as most typical? The general consensus for Jenny is that she was Strandid/Alpine, but could pass basically pan Western & Central Europe. I don't think we'll have a similar consensus for her sister.

IMO, she looks quite a bit like a Polish ex of mine.

Yes I can see the “Polish” look.
Probably in a broad Nordic-Baltic category

Pass as Russian?

She doesn't look Slavic to me.
Russian Nordobalt looks like this Russian actress.
You can see that this actress has Slavic face.

Apparently her real name is Malin. I never knew Linn was short for Malin, but thought it was a name of its own (it usually is).

I knew a Swedish girl who looked (looks) like a clone of her when I was little. So not an unusual look for a Swede, I suppose.
