Renée Soutendijk Movies
A former Olympic athlete, Amsterdam-born
Renee Soutendijk began her film career in Germany. The blonde, powerfully built young actress scored a hit playing loose-cannon "heroines" in a brace of
Paul Verhoeven-directed cult films,
Spetters (1980) and
The Fourth Man (1983). Soutendijk's first English-language assignment was as Eva Braun in the made-for-TV Inside the Third Reich. Her subsequent TV movie roles included Anna Mons in Peter the Great (1986) and Mrs. Simon Weisenthal in Murderers Among Us (1987). Ever seeking out off-the-beam film roles, Renee Soutendijk has also played the title character in
Eve of Destruction (1991), her first American film. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
