Fien de la Mar

Fien de la Mar (1895-1965), born Josephina Johanna de la Mar, was a Dutch actress, singer and comedienne. She is considered one of the biggest divas in Dutch theatre and film history. The DelaMar theatre in Amsterdam was built especially for her by her husband, architect Piet Grossouw. She died in 1965 after jumping out of her window, her second suicide attempt.
