\n<\/span>She has played Kristina fr\u00e5n Duvem\u00e5la, been number one on the Swedish charts and sung lyrics by Swedish star writers in the SVT program Babel. <\/span><\/strong>Now when the film “Livet \u00e4r en schlager”<\/span> is turned into a musical Helen Sj\u00f6holm enters into a new role: she will play a personal assistant.<\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
\n

We meet Helen Sj\u00f6holm together with Jonas Helgesson. <\/span>Jonas is a writer, lecturer and stand-up comedian and is now, in “Livet \u00e4r en schlager”, making his acting debut in the role as David who has cerebral palsy. <\/span><\/span>(…)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n

The story is about David who is super musically talented and composes a melody that his hit song crazy personal assistant, Mona, writes lyrics for. (…)<\/span> <\/span><\/span>In the role of personal assistant Mona we see Helen Sj\u00f6holm.<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n

She says that she hasn’t done any real research for the role, like for example interviewing real personal assistants.
\n<\/span><\/span>– Jonas’ experiences have shaped our collaboration and it’s because of Jonas’ own person that I feel safe in the role of a personal assistant.<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n

Helen Sj\u00f6holm herself has also worked in home care when she was young.
\n<\/span>– There are a few scenes where we’ve talked about the sphere<\/span> of integrity you have to work with as an assistant and then I can only refer to when I worked in home care service for elderly people. <\/span><\/span>When you have to get close to someone and help, without helping too much.<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n

(…)<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n

And now, in “Livet \u00e4r en schlager”, she will once again work together with Peter J\u00f6back who was in the Duvem\u00e5la musical. <\/span><\/span>This time Peter plays Mona’s brother, transvestite Candy Darling.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n


\n<\/span>– Since Kristina became so important to us and we played for a long time, it established some sort of kinship actually, and we have followed each other without for that sake having worked very closely together, Helen says. <\/span>It’s been nearly 20 years since those first trembling steps when we were going to some press conference and we almost wet ourselves. <\/span>We were so terribly nervous. There are few people you <\/span><\/span>have experienced such a journey with.<\/span><\/span><\/span>  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
