About Loeke de Waal

I’m born and raised in Utrecht, The Netherlands, but fell in love with the States way back in the ’90s. I made my move to Los Angeles, California a few years ago to pursue my career in journalism and documentary. Here I look for the odd stories, beyond clichés that often expose our humanity.

I am a Hollywood Culture Correspondent for Dutch national news paper NRC Handelsblad and my work can also be found in FD Persoonlijk on TV (NPO, RTL, SBS, Net5), online (NPO3, Brandpunt+, De Correspondent, FilmTotaal, VERS Magazine) and on NPO Radio 1.

I’m a stickler for details, professional eavesdropper, film and documentary aficionado, lifestyle and entertainment encyclopedia, occasional bookworm, keeper of lists & not a fan of spoilers and rain. Glad I settled in the Golden State.
