Paula Sleijp

Paula Sleijp 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: starting in the 20th anniversary episode in 1996, Paula has gotten a bit of a temper and sometimes acts a little stern towards her neighbors.

Paula likes to dress up as The Baroness, a silly lady with a French accent. Aart has a bit of a crush on her, given his love for authority.

Paula was born in Belgium.
