Viewers of the new Videoland series ‘PATTY’ about the life of Patty Brard (68) will afterwards look at the presenter and former singer with a different view. That’s what protagonists Holly Mae Brood (29) and Eva van de Wijdeven (38) think. They now also look differently at ‘a Dutch icon’, they said in conversation with the ANP.
“It’s an incredibly rich life”
“You think you know who someone is, but in the end, of course, you largely don’t know who someone is or where things come from,” says Holly, who plays the young version of Patty. According to her, this will become very clear in the series. “There are a lot of crazy things in it, for example with the pop star Patty, but you will also see the falling and ultimately the rising again. It is an incredibly rich life and not even everything is told.”
According to Eva, Patty may have an ‘extravagant’ life, but everyone will recognize themselves in her. “It is very special that there is someone in the Netherlands who dares to leave a kind of visual legacy of her entire life, from where she comes from to everything she has experienced. We have made something universal of Patty’s story .”
Patty Brard sees this herself. “I hope it is a series full of inspiration,” she adds. According to her, her life story proves that you should never give up despite any deep valleys. “If you are deep, you can never get high again if you don’t put your shoulders to the wheel and if you don’t focus on positive. You can see that in this series: everything will be okay one day. Whether it’s with you daughter, or with your career, or with your weight. It will all work out one day.”
PATTY has therefore become ‘a very nice series’, Holly thinks. “Patty’s rich life is of course a gift. I would really like to binge this. Because it is so much ‘fun’, but also so much terrible,” she laughs. “Yes, that is very nice.”
The five-part drama series, made by Will Koopman and Reinier Smit, can be streamed on Videoland from Sunday. The first episode will also be broadcast on RTL 4 on Sunday.
