LILY BOUWMEESTER

ACTING

Lily Geertruida Maria Henriëtte Bouwmeester (1901–1993) was a Dutch stage and film actress, who received an honorary Golden Calf for being "the best actress in Pre-War Dutch cinema". The daughter of two musicians, Bouwmeester spent her youth touring Europe with her parents.

When constant travelling proved to be too exhausting, she moved in with her aunt, actress Theo Mann-Bouwmeester.
