Hi JD, well here is a BIO of sorts from what I did professionaly.   The pictures will be in the next email as a ZIP-FILE !   I started out as a DiscJockey in a bar in Amsterdam called MOOR'S ELDORADO and at the Queens Birthday April 30 1972, all the personal at the bar performed (!?) I did not know this, so willingly or not I had to join in  and made my first public appearence. PICTURE  =30-4-1972= I had succes that day so another bar asked me to perform there, HOTEL I.T.C. also in Amsterdam  I stayed there for three years every saturday night !   After Hotel I.T.C. I was asked to go to the AMSTEL TAVEERNE CLUB were I was M.C. for the sunday-night [2 am - 5 am] I stayed there also three years.   From the Amstel Taveerne Club I went to THE MONTMARTRE DE PARIS also in Amsterdam, a smaller place, with no stage. So what can you do on 1 square meter ? Place two chairs a table and two mics and start a TALKSHOW, that was on october 16, 1984 I've been doing those talkshows eversince and with lots of succes.   I moved from 'The Montmartre' to THE GAIETY in the 1990/1991 season, and stayed there for about 7 years.  Every year on the Queens birthday, Amsterdam is one big party and I used to perform on the streets in front of the bar (GAIETY) almost next to the MUNT TOWER (seen in the background) in the ultimate centre of Amsterdam PICTURE =AT THE AMSTEL RIVER=  The secret of that succes is I know what I am talking about, I study the guest's every move in such a way that I can tell my guest things he/she forgotten. Never ever use gossip, telling my guests on forehand that the talkshow is serious but if something happens I can use to make a joke I will do that.   The succes of the talkshow in Amsterdam made other bar´s asking me to do talkshow´s there as well, so I´ve been all over The Netherlands with these talkshows some place, HAARLEM, GRONINGEN, ARNHEM, ROTTERDAM, DEN HAAG even one time a Talkshow (private) in Germany.   Some pics of these talkshows are with   SYLVIA KRISTEL (wordfamous for here EMANUEL movies)   BILL van DIJK (CYRANO on Broadway) JEROEN KRABBÉ (o.a. PRINCE OF TIDES with Barbra Streisand) JOHNNY LOGAN (three times winner of The Eurovision Song Contest)   I've done more than 500 of these 1/2 hour shows over the years, every week with another celebrity [and I am proud of them all] The list of stars I had the privilege of interviewing is long, very long, and so is the file with thousands of pics from these talkshows. Because these celebs talk among themselfs it was every time easyer to get new celebs to come to me for those talkshows If I was a New York Drag I guess I would have had, Patti LuPone, Bernadette Peters, Mandy Patinkin and maybe even Barbra Streisand as guest [who knows] the Dutch stars I had are equally famous over here (but only over here).   I also did RADIO, had a radio show for 3 years (it seems 3 is a basic to me)   Was an actor in a TV series in 1994 DIAMANT small part, who cares.   There was, at one time, talk of me doing a sitcom, being a barowner, with a mother who interferes with everything I do, it never aired (pitty) PICTURE =SALLY & MOEDER= (the Mother would have been played by Jérome Reehuis, an actor in the tradition of Laurence Olivier.)  I did make a pilot for a TV Talkshow, that also never aired, pitty me ! PICTURE =TV SHOW=   Did a commercial with JOAN COLLINS & JEROEN KRABBÉ (that's how I met him !) see the commercial in the ZIP-FILE   Was asked to do a TV show with ROBERT LONG, a Dutch singer who did a lot for the Gay Movement (died a year ago) In that show we did a parody on I WANNE BE FREE by Queen, but with another song written by ROBERT LONG, we only copyd the set and costuums ! PICTURE =ROBERT LONG=   left to right on thet pic  Me, Hans van der Woude (Dutch actor mostly Musicals) Alfred van den Heuvel (Dutch actor, very succesful in TV serie KINDEREN GEEN BEZWAAR) and ROBERT LONG with (Singer, actor, writer, composer and NICE PERSON) and sitting the director of the show (sorry forgot his name)   Was asked to sell the programs & cd's at the Opening night of the Dutch version of LA CAGE AUX FOLLES PICTURE =CAGE 5= & =CAGE 6= (I am the one holding the programs & CD's, I hand picted my friends to usher)   I never was a beauty queen, as you can see on PICTURES =LELIJK= & =UTRECHT=   sometimes pictures were taken that make me look good (in my eyes) here are some PICTURES =BESTE FOTO OOIT= (made in 1983) =ZANDVOORT= =SALLY BOWLES= =IN SPIEGEL=   I am still working, doing talkshow's and or singing all over The Netherlands at this time in space mostly private party's, here is a picture of me not to long ago in a theater in Amsterdam called DE KLEINE KOMEDIE PICTURE =KLEINE KOMEDIE= and one taken last year performing in one of the smallest theatre's i've been in CASABLANCA in Amsterdam with a 35 persons max PICTURE =CASABLANCA=   I put some miscellaneous in the file, to give some more inside in my act and to make you see that I am more a female clown that a drag queen. =GROTE PRUIK= =ROOD= =VOOR DE GAY KRANT=   If you need more (any insane person wants more?) please let me know If you want the DVD send your adres I do hope all of this is helpful ?   bye for now.    =LOVE FROM AMSTERDAM= =ROBERT GOUDEKETTING=
