  • Maj Lillemor "Lill" Lindfors is a well-known Swedish singer born in Finland. She began her showbusiness career in 1960, debuting as a revue actress and branched into recording a year later. She represented Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest 1966 in Luxembourg with duet partner Svante Thuresson with the song Nygammal vals, finishing second behind Austria and ahead of Norway. 19 years later, she hosted the Eurovision Song Contest 1985 in Gothenburg, becoming only the third former contestant (behind Corry Brokken and Yardena Arazi) to act as compère of the event. Lill became famous during the 1985 contest for a "wardrobe malfunction" that occurred just before the voting began, when the skirt of her dress ripped off from the top part leaving her partially uncovered before unwrapping the top section to reveal a new dress. The EBU wasn't too amused, but the fans loved it and it remains one of the contest's most iconic moments.
  • In Sweden, she is known as a sex symbol as well as being a stand-up comic. She released her first record album in 1964 Adam och Eva with Owe Törnqvist. In 1967, the first solo album was released Du är den ende. In the 1980s, she was the manager for Maximteatern (Maxim Theater) in Stockholm, she has also been a theater director for shows written by Siw Malmquist. Outside of Sweden, she is perhaps best known for hosting the Eurovision Song Contest in 1985 where her skirt came off after passing through a part of the set. After showing she was embarrassed, she then pulled the back off her "ripped" dress, and the front, and revealed a long white gown with long sleeves. In 1966, she and Svante Thuresson placed 2nd in the Eurovision contest, with the song "Nygammal vals."
