We are so curious!
When you think of showbiz in the Netherlands, you think of Patty Brard. This lady has been through a lot in her life, and that is why streaming platform Videoland is working on a series about the entertainment veteran. After a few small sneak peeks, today it became known when we can finally enjoy the PATTY series.
The series
The series is a dramatized version of Patty Brard’s life story. “PATTY is about trial and error. I really wanted to make this series because this woman has fallen quite a few times, but has always climbed back up and reinvented herself. I have enormous admiration for that,” says director Will Koopman.
The role of Patty will be played in different phases of life by actresses Holly Mae Brood and Eva van de Wijdeven.
Turbulent life
Patty Brard herself called it a dream come true in front of the RTL camera. According to her, it is about her “entire life” that is being portrayed. “Not pieces, but the entire cake. The old cake,” she said, laughing. Well, that’s quite something! Being part of a popular girl group, going financially bankrupt, breaking up – and bonding again – with your daughter… We think our own series is appropriate.
And Holly Mae Brood has the honor of playing Patty during her younger, turbulent years. “A star with so many performances and an enormous career that so many people don’t know about yet. A woman from so many depths, but always standing there again. As Will Koopman says, someone who is a forerunner in women’s emancipation. Trial and error, and you’re still there. Here’s to you Pat!”, the actress said on Instagram.
First images
In between, Holly Mae shared a series of exciting first images on her Instagram. “The end. Patty, it says! 🍓💋 #itsawrap #pattydeserie The nicest, sweetest, most hardworking crew ever ❤️ more fun soon, I can’t show you more yet!” read the caption under her post.
