DEBBIE DUTCH INTERVIEW:

"The Dutch-ess: Musings On And An Interview With The Amazing Debbie Dutch..." By Owen Keehnen

At Left, "Debbie D", John Upton, and a Boa Snake. Join Debbie Dutch on the set of a photo session For "Genesis Magazine".

You have got to love anyone who would wear a tiny mirror-studded bikini to a convention. Fluorescent lighting doesn’t flatter many…but the lighting flattered her nonetheless. She was luminous -- and that refers to more than the swimsuit! Ms. Debbie Dutch was extremely gracious and charming when I met her at the "Son of RezNHead" convention several years ago. She and fellow screamers, -- Michelle Bauer, Brinke Stevens, Mandy Leigh, and Gloria Ann Gilbert -- were “queening” it up amongst the model makers and comic books hawkers and ogling fans. When the busty red-haired beauty signed a photo for me and smiled, I was as tongue-tied as a high school nerd talking to a cheerleader. Granted, she WAS a cheerleader in high school and I WAS a nerd -- so that part makes sense -- but I’m gay for gods sakes!! So, go figure.

The trim 5’2” Debbie Dutch has poise and a real presence about her. Perhaps the instilled grace came of her aristocratic heritage, growing up moneyed on a New Jersey estate amidst debutant balls, a Silver Cloud Rolls Royce, servants and such. Maybe her charm is owing from her other career -- her expertise and solid reputation as a yoga instructor? Whatever the source, she presents a presence, a serenity, which is rare in convention centers where hawking oneself and one’s assorted goods are the norm.

Musing on her history, I can imagine the debutant chucking the family name and striking out to make it big in "Tinsel Town". Debbie goes to Hollywood! With some stage experience, contacts, headshots, and a firm vision of stardom, she moved to the "Land of Dreams" to take residence in a place directly under the Hollywood sign. An actress/"scream queen" is born -- and what an amazing and fun career it has been!

She has made a wonderful niche in movies for herself. She has been called by four different names in movies --- Deborah Chaplin, Debra Dare, Debbie “Dare” Dutch, and, of course, (her birth name) Debbie Dutch. That reminds me of another "Dutch treat". One thing I love about Ms. Debbie is the roles she has played --- "Cybernaut Cindy", "Dr. Penelope Tweed", "Tough Beach Girl", "Fawna", "Prisoner", "Shannon", "Mary Anne", "Bar Hooker", "Cave Girl", "Safari Girl", "Serving Girl", "Brigette Dubois", etc.

The characters are nothing compared to the movies. She’s been in over 30 films and, sure, there have been supporting roles in several "A" pictures with credits such as "Protocol" with Goldie Hawn, "The Amazing Howard Hughes’", and "Miss Dawson" in "The Man Who Wasn’t There", "DC Cab", "Torchlight", "Action Jackson" -- even a stint on "Miami Vice" (the 1987 episode was called "Viking Bikers From Hell").

However, closer to my heart are her roles which have earned her the title of "B Goddess" and "scream queen": ‘"Caged Women II", "976-EVIL 2: The Astral Factor", "Sorority Girls and the Creature From Hell", "Attack of the 60 Foot Centerfold", "Death Dancers", "Bikini Drive-In", "Dinosaur Island", "Madame Winston’s Secret", "Dead Air", "The Fist of Fong", "Vampiress Lady of the Night", "Bruce Lee Fights Back from The Grave" (which made her a celebrity in Korea!), "Vice Academy" series (movies #4 and 6), "Baberellas", and "The Vampire Hunters Club" -- to name but a new. She has strong stage experience as well ---- even appearing on Broadway in "The Rose Tattoo" (!!). However, in true Debbie form, she has conversely appeared three times in "Celebrity Sleuth", as well as in "Celebrity Skin" and "Playboy".

No amount of fawning or explanation can compare to Ms. Dutch herself. Recently, I was fortunate enough to chat with her about life, her career and future projects, the life of a "scream queen" and a whole lot more...

Hi Debbie, Did you have a good Halloween? What did you do?

Owen, I had an AWESOME HALLOWEEN! I was on the big screen with "THE PREDATOR" at an event on Hollywood Boulevard. Also, I went to a party every night. The "RAINBOW" Halloween party, "A MASQUERADE BALL at THE FENIX", JEFF RECTOR'S ANNUAL HALLOWEEN PARTY, and, of course, the "CARNIVAL" on Santa Monica Boulevard. I ALWAYS dress up as "AN ULTIMATE SEXUAL, OTHERWORLDLY, SCREAM QUEEN", with a VAMPIRE SPIN, with all the diamond jewelry and tiara, fishnets and lots of skin.

So, in addition to your other talents, I have read you are a skilled astrologer. Do you consider yourself a typical Taurus?

Yes and no. I'm flighty like a BUTTERFLY. That is my Libra moon. I'm not married. I’m with someone because we're drawn to each other, and when it's time to move on, then my wings will take me to a new adventure. Tauruses need security and love to know someone is always there. Money is very important to me and I've been very successful, but I turn down gigs if my heart isn't in them. I have to feel my spirit, not just the money. I am a good cook -- very TAURUS. HOWEVER, I HAVEN'T COOKED FOR YEARS. I’m always taken out to beautiful restaurants. I am an artist and LOVE the ARTS! VERY TAURUS -- and I LOVE ROMANCE!

I’m stubborn -- like a Taurus -- because once I make up my mind to do something, I NEVER GIVE UP until I have accomplish it. Also, I love the land, the country, the woods, fields, flowers, and wildlife, and ALL kinds of animals. I also feel very secure in my home that I purchased which has increased in value. But, I LOVE travel, especially to exotic locations.

Back to the ARTS. I LOVE fine arts, ballet, the impressionist painters -- Degas, etc. And, of course, I love the theater. That's VERY VENUSIAN -- my ruling planet. Also, I’m trustworthy and loyal -- both Taurus traits. I came out to L.A. when I finished school on the advice of my Uncle Carroll Righter, the famous "Astrologer To The Stars" in Hollywood. I learned the science of Astrology from him, a mentor of mine. He told me acting in L.A. was excellent for me and he is proven accurate. I also LOVE silks and velvet fabrics on me to wear. Taurus LOVES fine, EXPENSIVE, good feeling clothes, and BEAUTIFUL PERFUMES, the senses are always heightened. Very EROTIC TOO!

So you Uncle was a mentor in the astrology field…did you have a mentor in the acting arena?

My late Uncle PAUL ROEBLING!!!!! (From the Roebling's that built the Brooklyn Bridge.) He starred in "Blue Thunder" with Roy Scheider and "Prince of The City” with Treat Williams.

What movie stars influenced you?

I only watched the old horror films and Bela and Boris were the big stars. Greta Garbo and Marilyn Monroe have always been two actresses who I've highly admired and who have influenced me -- the mystery of Garbo and the sexuality of Marilyn. "Scream Queens" didn't become big until Tipi Hedren and Janet Leigh. I guess Jamie Lee could be considered a modern influence. I was more into the "Dracula" movies. Remember the "Scream Queen" became popular in the 90's and I was on that wave. I began on the third set of trading cards of the "ORIGINAL SCREAM QUEENS".

Do you take pride in being a scream queen or do you consider the label as demeaning and/or limiting?

I ABSOLUTELY take GREAT PRIDE in being a "Scream Queen", making me a celebrity and giving me the opportunity to meet my fans, travel to many conventions, and express my appreciation to them. It makes me feel So APPRECIATED as an actress, an artist and a woman. SO MANY DOORS have opened up for me in my career, and it has brought me SO MUCH JOY and FUN!

What has been your best and your worst film-making experiences?

My BEST FILM EXPERIENCE TO DATE IS MY RECENT, SOON-TO-BE RELEASED "A" film, “THE LAST RUN” starring FRED SAVAGE. My WORST FILM EXPERIENCE was my first starring role when I was first starting out in L.A. making my DREAMS COME TRUE…"Bruce Lee Returns From The Grave". I had to do all MY OWN STUNTS and I thought I was going to die for real. It was way over-schedule and no one spoke English other then the male star and the food was weird Korean, which made me feel sick. Plenty more on this experience, UNBELIEVABLE stuff. I just remember thinking, if this is what I need to do to become a star, then I'm going to do it. It’s now a Kung-Fu classic, and when you see it, I look about 12 yrs old.

If some newbie came to you asking for advice about becoming a "scream queen" what advice would you give her?

I was trained as a professional theater actress in N.Y.C. on Broadway, so it is very important to me that an actress studies acting with a great teacher. LOOKS can get you so far, but TALENT wins out in the long run. You’ve got to ALWAYS be "perfecting”, and "honing" your craft. That includes Dance and Speech. Also, be aware of the casting couch. It’s important NOT TO BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF! That's another "BOOK" -- not just a question! Most IMPORTANT is: "TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS!" Also, NEVER LIMIT yourself. As a "Scream Queen", I’ve also worked in many "A" MOVIES WITH MAINSTREAM STARS, like GOLDIE HAWN, STEVE GUTTENBERG, DON JOHNSON, FRED SAVAGE, GARY BUSEY, the list goes on and on. I'm very appreciative for this. And, be humble. Remember that it is for your FANS. They made you a star, knowing like the eight winds, we can lose it all in a moment...We are actors and acting is what is important.

What is the toughest way you've ever had to "die" onscreen?

The toughest death is a toss up between "MINDTWISTER" when I was ball gagged, molested and had to crash through a window to my death, knowing I had to get the "DEATH LEAP" right on the first take, due to the budget. The FAKE GLASS BIG WINDOWS are very expensive. That movie had Fred Olen Ray directing and starred Telly Savalas and Richard Roundtree. I think it was Telly's last screen appearance. The other death scene being, "THE HAUNTING OF MORRELLA" where I had my throat slashed in a bathtub, a period piece, and I had to lay in a pool of blood for a seemingly infinitely long time. I was naked and freezing. Nicole Eggert and Lana Clarkson, David McCallum starred in this popular JIM WYNORSKI film.

Debbie, you do a lot of conventions - what's the experience usually like?

When I go to conventions, not only do I get the chance to meet and visit with my fans, but also I see many of my celebrity friends that I only see at conventions. Also, I have SO MUCH FUN at the parties that are going on and ALL the PHOTO OPS and videos that are taken. I LOVE staying in hotels too! It’s SO EROTIC.

What are your favorite movies in the horror/thriller genre?

Of Course, “FRANKENSTEIN" with Boris Karloff and ALL the BELA LUGOSI films. They can't be touched. Also, the "INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE" was AWESOME!!!!!

Do you have a special secret for emitting an especially blood-curdling scream?

My most EFFECTIVE SCREAM is the one that comes out of the moment of FEAR in the scene that I'm filming. How I get to it, is either from the scary monster, or event in the movie, or from "emotional memory” or "sensory recall" from something in my past and sometimes a combination. That's when acting technique is very important!

What makes you scream in real life?

I scream in real life when something, or someone, FRIGHTENS me! It's really that simple.

What criterion do you usually use for choosing your roles?

My films and movie directors usually choose me (the law of attraction, I chant the mantra Nam-myoho-renge-kyo) and the roles are PERFECT for me. I NEVER do any roles that are less than I’m worthy of. I NEVER SETTLE. They can be anything from cameos to starring roles.

What is your dream horror role?

My FAVORITE horror film role is any "FEMMES FATALES" who is involved in an AWESOME story! My favorite was "Shannon" from "DEATH DANCERS" -- that I starred in. I played a young, innocent virgin who lost her innocence and became a SUPERNATURAL CREATURE of life, enraged with lust and revenge -- with lot's of LOVE and BLOOD!!!! With an INSPIRING VICTORY in the end, overcoming insurmountable obstacles, going through my human revolution, and creating value in my life as well in the world. Also, from this outcome, spread PEACE and HAPPINESS for humanity!

Where do you see yourself five years from now?

Where do I see myself in five years? I want to be still "ROCK'IN ON” in film and T.V.!

Thanks Debbie. I’m sure you will be.
