Johannes Heesters (December 5, 1903 Amersfoort-December 24, 2011 Starnberg) also known as Johan Marius Nicolaas Heesters, Jopie, Herr Jopie, Grandseigneur Heesters, Joe Heesters, Johannes M.N. Heesters, Johan Heesters, Johan Marius Nicolaas Johannes Heesters or Johannes was a Dutch singer and actor. He had two children, Nicole Heesters and Wiesje Heesters.
Johannes Heesters had a remarkable career that spanned over eight decades, making him one of the longest-working performers in history. He began his career as an actor in Germany in the 1920s and went on to become one of the country's most popular musical stars of the 1930s and 1940s. During this time, he appeared in several films, including "Das Hofkonzert" ("The Court Concert"), "Wasser für Canitoga" ("Water for Canitoga"), and "Hochzeitsnacht im Paradies" ("Wedding Night in Paradise").
Heesters' popularity in Germany continued after World War II, but his performances in Nazi propaganda films during the war made him a controversial figure in later years. He rejected allegations that he was a Nazi sympathizer, stating that he only performed to entertain the troops and that he never supported Hitler or the Nazi party. Despite the controversy, Heesters remained active in the music and entertainment industry until his death in 2011, performing in theaters and on television into his 100s. His career was celebrated in a documentary film titled "Heesters - Ein Leben für die Bühne" ("Heesters - A Life for the Stage") in 2011.
