This might explain why everybody in the Netherlands fixatedly watched "The Great Donor Show," but nobody recognized that Lisa, dying of a brain tumor and giving her kidneys to a lucky recipient, was really a Dutch actress. And a pretty famous one, at that.My favorite Translator Robot, www.freetranslation.com , just surprised me a few months ago by adding English-Dutch Dutch-English! That says quite a lot about the present and future state of Dutch, often perceived as a tiny, isolated tongue wedged between English and German on a sad, slow road to extinction. With the Robot's kind assistance, and a little polishing from Agence-Vleeptron Presse, this filched blog bit about NL's most famous and most shocking superstar.

She doesn't have a brain tumor. She's an actress. For the attentive TV viewer, where have you seen Leonie Gebbink before? We Googled and found "Boss Across Kids" [Kinderen Zijn de Baas], a children's series from 1997 to 2001 on SBS6, about the Land of Ever [Het Land van Ooit, now a theme park]. Gebbink played the role of "Lady Grandeur Bourgeoisie," one of the Land of Ever's most famous inhabitants.
