Catharina Johanna (Riny) Blaaser (Amsterdam, August 11, 1920 - Amsterdam, August 2, 2009) was a Dutch theater and television actress.
Blaaser was a fellow from the theater family Nooy / Blaaser. She was an illegitimate daughter of actress Rina Blaaser and actor Jan Nooy, a half-sister of Beppie Nooij and a full cousin of among others Jan Blaaser. At the age of twelve she debuted at the scene at Nooy's Volkstheater. During her career, she was engaged in producing and directing performances in addition to acting.
From 1948 she played at The Cheerful Toneel, a company she eventually took over and changed its name to the Amstel Toneel. With this company she played many pieces, most of them for youth. For this work, Blaaser was nominated by Queen Juliana as Knight in the Order of Orange-Nassau.
Around 1986, she left the Amstel Toneel out of dissatisfaction with the Council of Arts's policy, which felt that the company had to innovate on a substantive basis and thereafter the possible grant of a grant to a covenant. With her son Herry Hubert she founded Youth Comedy Amsterdam, an unsubsidized theater group focusing on performances for youth. In 1993 she received the Schouwburgpenning for her role in the theater, a distinction of the Association of Theater and Concertgebouw Directies (VSCD). After the youth comedy of Amsterdam ceased to exist, Blaaser led a retired life in Amsterdam-South. Her second husband, actor Jos Manche died in 1997; Herry Herry in 2008.
Riny Blaaser died in the summer of 2009 in her home on the Amsterdam Freedom Avenue and was buried at the Amsterdam cemetery Zorgvlied in the grave previously buried her mother, her second husband and her son.
