Carice van Houten Guest Stars on THE SIMPSONS! Los Angeles, CA —It was no secret that my favorite actress, Carice van Houten loves The Simpsons ! I knew she made a stop on her last visit to L.A. to the Pico Ave Fox Studios to the Simpsons sound stage.   Van Houten left proudly sporting a Simpson’s souvenir jacket. Carice van Houten is probably best known as the Red Witch, Melisandre in the wildly popular HBO series, Game of Thrones .    She’s also the winner of five, Golden Calf awards (The Dutch equivalent of our Oscar Award).    Van Houten’s amazing talent first blew me away as the star of my all time favorite dramatic film, Paul Verhoeven’s, Black Book .    Now van Houten has found herself as guest star on the Simpsons.     Her character named Anneke van Houten will debut on the May 3rd episode. This incredibly talented actress comes from a gifted Dutch family that’s deeply routed in in art, music, television and the...

Amsterdam, NL —Okay, I’m obsessed!  I love the arts, theater and of course, music.   There are those artists that entertain us all.   God given talent and the ability to face the world and perform seems to be handed to a chosen few.  Carice van Houten is at the very top of my list of terrific performers. Yes, people are born with talent but without hard work and serious dedication it may all be wasted.  Carice has incredible acting chops, best described by film director Paul Verhoeven .   Vehoeven said, “Carice is beautiful like Sharon Stone (Basic Instinct), but she can act!”  This was not really a slight to Stone’s ability but his recognition that Carice has a rare and special magic.   I certainly don’t discount Verhoeven’s ability to get all that an actor can possibly give in a performance. To give a great performance an actor must forget the cameras, audience and simply put aside their ego.  They must actu...

Amsterdam, The Netherlands —In this wonderful city full of the richest art, sights and sounds, is the gifted actress and singer Carice van Houten.   First, I must confes s, I love ever ything this European siren does.  I first heard van Houten sing in the great Paul Verhoeven film, Black Book (2006).    She was the masterful leading lady of that thrilling film in every respect.   If you’ve not seen it, you must! She swims, sings, dances and acts in three languages. If you saw the film Valkyrie , van Houten played Nina Von Stauffenberg opposite Tom Cruise .   She also has a role in the successful HBO series Game of Thrones . This charming lady speaks, sings and acts in Dutch, German and English.   She again caught my attention in a wonderful duet with Kane called, No Surrender .   Finally van Houten has brought her talent to the recording studio and cut an album titled, See You On The Ice .   The songs are modern and...
