Paula Sleijp (b. 1931) plays Paula on Sesamstraat, the Dutch co-production of Sesame Street.
Paula took over the part of the grandmother character from Mieke Verstraete in 1982. During the first years, she was a sweet old lady, but starting in the 20th anniversary episode in 1996, Paula has a bit of a temper and sometimes acts a little stern towards her neighbors.
Paula used to dress up as the Baroness every now and then, a silly lady with a French accent. Aart had a bit of a crush on her, given his love for authority.
Sleijp was born in Belgium.
