Wimie is best known to the general public for her role as watch commander Els Peeters in the police series Baantjer. She also had supporting roles in several cinema films and performed in her own cabaret program Own Business. She is Richard Groenendijk’s regular director and directed the theater show Eh… by Brigitte Kaandorp.
Richard reflects extensively on her death on Instagram. “It is unbelievable, but our dearest Wimie has passed away after a short illness,” he begins his post. ‘She was not only my director and sparring partner for the past fourteen years, but also one of Marko’s and my very best and dearest friends.’ Richard calls it a ‘privilege’ to have had her in his life. ‘We were able to experience so many special and intense moments together and we laughed so much together.’
Her former colleague Serge-Henri Valcke also commemorates her death on Instagram.
