- Esther Roord was born on January 25, 1965 in Bussum, Noord-Holland, Netherlands. She was an actress, known for Flikken Maastricht (2007), Kees & Co (1997) and Baantjer (1995). She died on March 25, 2026 in Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands.
- Roord has struggled with health problems in recent years. In 2019, she shattered her forearm after falling down the stairs, from which her recovery did not go well. She also had problems with her intestines and took a lot of medication for other ailments. The actress has donated her body to science.
- Her health failed her years ago. For some time, the actress had been staying in the monumental Sarphatihuis, where singer/actor Ramses Shaffy also spent his final years - until he died there in 2009.
- While the sitcom Kees & Co may have brought her the most fame, she did much more. When she appeared in the musical Piaf a few years later, it did not go unnoticed, and she immediately received a (John Kraaijkamp) Musical Award for that supporting role.
- Roord graduated from the drama school in Amsterdam in 1991 and was "discovered" by Willem Nijholt.
- She became best known as neighbor Sonja in the comedy series Kees & Co, alongside Simone Kleinsma. After the sitcom ended, things went quiet around the actress, who spoke out one last time and then said: "I would rather be forgotten.".
