Johannes Heesters ( 1903 - 2011) is a Dutch actor, singer, and entertainer with an 85-year career, almost exclusively in the German-speaking world.
Until his death, aged 108, Heesters held the record of being the oldest performer worldwide who was still active, both on the stage and on television.
His longevity is not atypical for his family. One of his grandfathers died at age 108.
Johannes Heesters was never accused of being a propagandist or anything other than an actor who was willing to perform for the Nazis, but in his native country he is viewed by some as irredeemable.
When he recently he performed in Amsterdam, several dozen people protested outside the theater.
