Janine van Elzakker

Janine van Elzakker (1945-2019) was a Dutch actress and voice actress who can be heard on a series of Sesamstraat book and cassette sets that were later compiled on CD (Grover Gaat Naar School and Ernie Heeft Rommel Gemaakt in 1993; rereleased in 1996 on Verhaaltjes met Je Vriendjes and Te Gekke Verhaaltjes). She portrayed the voice of the narrator, as well as Grover's Mommy, Prairie Dawn, Maria and others; however, she did not dub any characters on the TV show.
Van Elzakker worked closely with Wim T. Schippers (voice actor for Ernie and others); she starred alongside him and J.P. "Clous" van Mechelen on Schippers' radio show Ronflonflon and several of his TV series. Schippers' producer Ellen Jens was the translator of the Sesamstraat book and cassette sets. In one of the stories, van Elzakker uses the voice of her flirty Ronflonflon character Jacqueline van Benthem for Maria, who is renamed Jacqueline in the translation.
