She’s best known as the star of the CBS supernatural series Evil, a role that further solidified her presence in American television. Prior to that, she gained recognition for her compelling performance as Dr. Helen Prins on Manhattan and also portrayed Emily in HBO’s acclaimed Westworld. But long before fame found her, her journey began in Amsterdam, where she attended the Ignatius Gymnasium. Always curious and driven, she went on to study psychology at the University of Amsterdam, showing an early interest in the human mind—a theme that would later echo in her roles.
Eventually drawn to acting, she made the bold move to America to hone her craft at the HB Studio. That experience was transformative, but her passion for performance led her back to Amsterdam after she was accepted into the prestigious Theaterschool. Growing up, the star was immersed in music, often traveling with her parents who were both deeply involved in the classical world—her mother, Vera Beths, a talented violinist, and her father, Werner Herbers, a respected conductor. Though her parents later remarried, their artistic influence clearly left a lasting mark on her creative path. And today, as the star continues to captivate audiences, her roots—both personal and professional—remain a vital part of her story.
She really made a name for herself when she took home the prestigious Guido de Moor Award for young talent, all thanks to her standout performance in the Arthur Schnitzler monologue Fraulein Else. It was a defining moment in her early career, showcasing her depth and skill as a performer. She proved that she wasn’t just another aspiring actress—she was someone to watch. And with the Guido de Moor Award now under her belt, recognition for her talent only grew. She continued to build momentum, using that pivotal role as a springboard into more challenging projects. Clearly, she had what it takes to captivate an audience, one powerful performance at a time.
