Comments
Dutch-born actor of stage, television and film as well as a vocalist of numerous recordings and performer on the concert stage, with a career dating back to 1921. Active almost exclusively in the German-speaking world from the mid-1930s he was a controversial figure - specially in The Netherlands - for his actions during the Second World War and his success in Nazi Germany. Heesters worked as an actor until his death and is one of the oldest performing stage performers in history.
