Anna Anka biography

Birth Name : Anna Yeager

Date of Birth : 28 April 1971, Poland

Occupation : Actress, author, model

Anna Anka has been pushing herself her entire life. Her failures in life were the starting point for her success. Not having a solid base in her childhood was very devastating and heartbreaking. Anna Anka was adopted and raised in a small town called Bjuv, Sweden. Anna Anka is an American-Swedish actress, author and model, who is married to the Lebanese singer Paul Anka.

Anna Anka has 2 children, Elli, 8 years old and Ethan, 5 years old. Birth of her children was the greatest joy ever. Having her own family is very important to her.

Anna Anka moved to the USA in 1993 when she became “Miss Hawaiian Tropic” of Sweden. Anna Anka has made appearances in “Dum and Dumber”, “The Specialist”, “The Drop Zone” and “Baywatch”. Anna Anka has released a book, “30 minutes Pregnancy Workout”, in USA, Canada, India, UK and Sweden.

In 2005 she had Anka's son Ethan. In 2008 they married and in 2010 they divorced.

Anka made a brief appearance in the American film Dumb and Dumber, credited as Anna Åberg. She had two lines, both in Swedish: Hej allihopa ("Hi everyone") and Hej då ("Bye"). She has also played minor roles in the films The Specialist and Drop Zone. Anka has released a workout/training book called The 30-minute pregnancy workout book.

On September 16, 2009, Anka was interviewed on Swedish news site, Newsmill, in an article called "Jag vill bli en förebild för svenska kvinnor" ("I want to be a role model for Swedish women"). The article described Swedish fathers as "tragic with their diaper changes and their equality" and Swedish women in general as shabby, petty, unintelligent and having lost touch with their natural femininity. A resounding appeal was made for the choice of a housewife lifestyle like Anka's own, and she affirmed her wish to become the role model that Sweden needed. In reality, as was soon found out and acknowledged by the publishers, the piece had been ghost-written by site editors after a phone talk with Anka in order to increase attention. The article received more than 100 000 hits, a first for Newsmill, and several responses, among others Nalin Pekgul.
