Hollywood, CA —27 year-old Jennifer Lawrence was gorgeous, seriously talented and her smile captivated millions just like me. What could possibly go wrong?   Our nation became even more divided politically as well as emotionally since the 2016 election and Hollywood overwhelmingly chose the loosing side of the Left.   Lawrence got caught up in the wild clammer and used her ample media face time to promote her raw hatred for our duly elected president and his supporters instead of promoting her work products.  Expressed hatred is never pretty.  We all have a First Amendment right to say what we please.  However people selling products run huge financial risks of offending large percentages of their customers or in this case ticket buying fans.  I was a diehard fan of Lawrence.  She captured my full attention when she appeared in, American Hustle. I meet her very briefly at a screening of that terrific film. I then watched her young ...

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...

Los Angeles, CA — My favorite film of all times is Paul Verhoeven’s, Black Book .  It’s a subtitled German/Dutch film primarily in the Dutch language that’s based on a true story.  The principal protagonist is a sexy Jewish nightclub singer, Rachel Stein that fled the Nazis in Berlin for the Netherlands during the war.  She somehow winds up in the Dutch Resistance for some incredibly dangerous adventures.  It’s also a love story. The leading lady playing that character is my absolute favorite actress, Carice van Houten who won this role of a lifetime.  The role required acting in different languages, singing and some dancing.  Van Houten was magnificent.  This was Verhoeven’s best film ever and the entire cast and crew were absolutely awesome.  Van Houten was jaw dropping terrific! There was no emotion she did not absolutely own in this thriller film.  That kind of talent takes years of serious discipline and hard work to develop a...

Amsterdam, NL —I read a rude and troubling story in Amsterdam's Metro News this morning.   It said that that the Netherlands’s most accomplished and award winning actress Carice van Houten is past her prime and probably won’t be able to make waves in Hollywood. First let me say that van Houten looks young, wonderful and works out religiously to stay fit.  This beautiful and talented Dutch actress still has exactly what it takes to take Hollywood by storm. Currently van Houten plays the role of Melisandre in HBO’s Game of Thrones .   She has starred in a terrific Paul Verhoeven film, Black Book as a Dutch Resistance spy and hero.  Along the way she made several other films. If there is something unfortunate about van Houten’s Game of Thrones role is that hoods, capes and a long red wig cover her.  That made van Houten nearly unrecognizable to American journalists when she walked the Red Carpet for the show’s third season premier in Hol...

The multi-talented Carice van Houten Los Angeles, CA — Carice van Houten is not well known yet in the USA.  She’s well represented at CAA by Tracy Brennan and managed by Janey van Ierland at Nummer19 in the Netherlands.  This very beautiful actress has both a pretty agent and gorgeous manager too!  I hope to meet this delightful trio someday! Van Houten won the role of a lifetime in Paul Verhoeven’s film Black Book based on a true story.  That happens to be my all time favorite film about a young and sexy Jewish nightclub singer who was hiding from the Nazis in the Netherlands during the war.   Van Houten’s character by circumstances was recruited to join the Dutch Underground in this great thriller.  By all means get the film from Netflix or Amazon.com and see it. Van Houten also landed a somewhat small but important role as Nina Von Stauffenberg , the wife of Tome Cruise’s character in the Brian Singer, Chris McQuarrie film V...

Carice van Houten Amsterdam, NL —The incredibly delightful actress and singer Carice van Houten manages to stay close to her fans and distant friends through Social Media.   Van Houten is the product of terrific parents that raised their two talented daughters with the arts in one of the better places on earth, Holland.   Aside from being absolutely gorgeous she is an incredibly gifted actress.  The younger sister Jelka van Houten , also a real looker has her own promising career going as an actress and singer. Van Houten really understands and interprets music through her singing.  She’s not a classic soprano but a songstress that knows how to sing well with the voice she was given by our creator.  Van Houten’s personal favorites come from a wide range of music that transcends all ages and categories.   Recently van Houten released, SEE YOU ON THE ICE , which is a compilation of original songs in English.  It’s available on...
