Biography

Ruud van Hemert was the son of television producer

De Fred Hachéshow (1971), Barend is weer bezig (1972–1973), and Van Oekel's Discohoek (1974),[5] a series of TV shows that are credited with changing Dutch television forever by destroying it as a medium for serious and proper programming.[4]

Van Hemert was already 46

De Lift (1983) and Flodder (1986).[9]

1988's Honneponnetje, a follow-up to Schatjes! and Mama is boos, was not well received by critics—it was "no more than a thousandfold-retold wet dream from a frustrated teenager".[5] His career did not fare well during the 1990s, when he was unable to get financing for his scripts. He built a house in Spain and taught acting. He returned, with some success,[10] in 2001 with I Love You Too, based on a novel by Ronald Giphart (141,257 visitors),[11] and in 2004 his last film, Feestje! [nl] (77,399 visitors).[7][12] His career, however, went downhill. He wrote about his frustrations with the film industry in a book called Bruut, and retired to Spain. In 2008 he survived prostate cancer, but in 2011 he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of throat cancer[13] and he died the year after,[7] at the house of friends in Wapserveen.[14]
