Kees Brusse
Kees Brusse, zoon van auteur en journalist Marie Joseph Brusse en operazangeres Antje Ebes, had twee broers: Ytzen Brusse (filmmaker) en de journalist Jan Brusse, en vier halfbroers: Peter Brusse (journalist/programmamaker), Mark Brusse (beeldhouwer), de vroeg gestorven Marie Joseph jr. en architect Henk Brusse. Brusse volgde de MULO. Voor de toneelschool werd hij afgewezen; als acteur-regisseur was hij autodidact. Brusse was naast zijn werk maatschappelijk actief, hij was ambassadeur van de organisatie Greenwisheen, een platform voor mensen die hun expertise, creativiteit en talenten willen inzetten voor initiatieven op het terrein van natuur, milieu en duurzaamheid. Hij heeft de Kees Brusse Stichting in het leven geroepen voor de emancipatie van ouderen. Kees Brusse trouwde vijfmaal en had twee dochters. In 1948 trouwde hij met Pamela Ingenegeren. In maart 1954 hertrouwde hij met de actrice Mieke Verstraete. Samen kregen ze een dochter. In 1975 trouwde hij met Marlou Peters. Ook met haar had hij een dochter. Brusse trouwde in 1986 met Sonja Boerrigter. Met haar vertrok hij in 1988 uit Nederland naar achtereenvolgens Bonaire, Frankrijk en Australië. Na haar overlijden in 2000 keerde Brusse tijdelijk terug naar Nederland. In de jaren 2000 trouwde hij met zijn vijfde echtgenote, de Australische Joan St. Clair. Brusse woonde tot januari 2013 in het Australische Perth, waar hij leefde in de anonimiteit. In maart 2011 was hij weer even in Nederland. Hij verklaarde zich nog altijd Nederlander te voelen en de presentatie van zijn biografie Herinneringen: ovatie aan het leven in het Instituut voor Beeld en Geluid in Hilversum ervaren te hebben als een warm bad. Begin 2013 kwam Brusse voorgoed naar Nederland, omdat hij niet meer door zijn zieke echtgenote verzorgd kon worden. Hij verbleef in het Rosa Spier Huis in Laren, waar hij op 9 december 2013 overleed.

The most non-judgmental person one can imagine, who afforded to all family and friends an open house/open heart motto. Best friend to so many and the absolute light in our family's life. As I create and update this page in memory of my best friend, my mom, I hope family and friends will enjoy the memories.

Margaret Thatcher
Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher, was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and the Leader of the Conservative Party from 1975 to 1990. She was the longest-serving British Prime Minister of the 20th century and is the only woman to have held the office. A Soviet journalist called her the "Iron Lady", a nickname that became associated with her uncompromising politics and leadership style. As Prime Minister, she implemented policies that have come to be known as Thatcherism. She became Prime Minister after winning the 1979 general election. On moving into 10 Downing Street, Thatcher introduced a series of political and economic initiatives intended to reverse high unemployment and Britain's struggles in the wake of the Winter of Discontent and an ongoing recession. Thatcher's popularity during her first years in office waned amid recession and high unemployment until the 1982 Falklands War brought a resurgence of support, resulting in her re-election in 1983. Thatcher was re-elected for a third term in 1987. During this period her support for a Community Charge (referred to as the "poll tax") was widely unpopular and her views on the European Community were not shared by others in her Cabinet. She resigned as Prime Minister and party leader in November 1990, after Michael Heseltine launched a challenge to her leadership. After retiring from the Commons in 1992, she was given a life peerage as Baroness Thatcher, of Kesteven in the county of Lincolnshire, which entitled her to sit in the House of Lords. After a series of small strokes in 2002, she was advised to withdraw from public speaking, and in 2013 she died of another stroke in London at the age of 87. (wikipedia)
