Fie Carelsen
Fie Carelsen , actually Sophia de Jong (born April 5, 1890 in Amsterdam , † July 21, 1975 in The Hague ) was a Dutch actress .
Fie grew up with her father Jacob de Jong, a businessman, and her mother Cientje Cohen. Her mother started a theater career at the age of thirty under the stage name Cécile Carelsen, so that Fie grew up in an environment of actors. At the age of three, Fie had her first role in the arms of an aunt. She was married to Jean-Louis Pisuisse from August 14, 1913 to 1920 ; he was married to Jacoba Smit from 1903 to 1912. On the occasion of her 25th stage anniversary in 1931, she played the title role in Mata Hari . In 1935 she was the first to receive the Magda Janssens hat pin, a transferable award launched by Magda Janssens.
Fie Carelsen had a Jewish mother. During the Second World War, when many actors had to go into hiding, Fie and her mother Cécile had to report to the population register. There she heard for the first time that she was the birth child of the actor Frits Bouwmeester sr. (1848–1906) and was therefore half-Jewish. It is not clear whether this information was only used to protect the daughter. Thanks to the protection of high-ranking Dutch personalities (including HM Hirschfeld), the deportation of mother Cécile could be delayed until the beginning of 1944. After the deportation, Cécile Carelsen died on July 4, 1944 in the Theresienstadt concentration camp . Fie was allowed to continue playing pieces from the repertoire, new pieces were not allowed. After the war ended, she was accused by many of having performed during the war.
Fie Carelsen died of a heart attack while she was sleeping and was buried in the Oud Eik en Duinen cemetery in The Hague (grave 1-3217). In 1970 she acquired the property rights to the grave from her ex-husband Jean-Louis Pisuisse and included in her will that she wanted to be buried in his grave. This also happened after her death in 1975. In 1976, the Pisuisse Prize for the best theater performance by a student at the Academie voor Kleinkunst (now Academie voor Theater en Dans) was created from her legacy (awarded from 1976 to 1999).
In Hengelo , Hoofddorp , Leiden , Spijkenisse and Zutphen there are streets named after Fie Carelsen, in Haarlem a Fie Carelsenplein (square) and in Amstelveen , The Hague , Heemstede , Utrecht and Vlissingen a Fie Carelsenlaan (avenue).
