Early life
Lindbergs was born in Koningstad to Peter (1900-1971) and Hannah Lindbergs (1905-1991). Peter had immigrated from Sweden in 1919 and Hanna was a third-generation immigrant family from the Ukraine. Her father was a mechanic who owned a garage in The Port neighborhood. She had three sisters and two brothers, one of which was killed for actively resisting the German occupation of Brunant (in 1943).

Anna aspired to be a dancer or ballerina but when she was cast in a school play (in 1955) as part of the chorus, she decided to become a singer. She was discovered by record label executive Sam Lévis in 1959. She began recording songs in 1960 and soon became a radio favorite. In 1962, 17-year old Anna was involved in a relationship with 36-year old Lévis, something which shocked most Brunanters.

Family
She married racecar driver Phil Eckmann in 1966 after two months of knowing each other. Eckmann taught her how to drive and she was an amateur racecar driver. They divorced in 1969 after some issues. She remarried in 1970, to the popular actor Alexander Neyt, who was also the 7th Baron Neyt. They would have a daughter Marlene in 1971, who would die in 1994 of a drug overdose.
