Milly Scott

Marion Henriëtte Louise Molly (born 29 December 1933),[1] known professionally as Milly Scott, is a Dutch singer and actress of Surinamese origin, best known for her participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 1966.

[1][3] In the beginning of World War II, the ship HNLMS Johan Maurits van Nassau was bombed, severely wounding Scott's father, after which the family moved to Amsterdam.

[3] Scott owes her successes in the Netherlands to the influential entertainment journalist Henk van der Meijden, who had found out about her career in Sweden and wrote an article about her in De Telegraaf.

[3] She went on to win the national final with the song "Fernando en Filippo", written by Gerrit den Braber and composed by Kees de Bruyn.

She also branched out into acting and appeared in many theater and television shows, her best-known role being in the RTL 4 drama series Vrouwenvleugel (1993–95) in which she played Baby Miller, a prisoner trying to come to terms with her racial identity.
