# Sonja Barend

> Sonja Maria Barend was a Dutch television personality. She hosted one of the nation’s first talk shows, Sonja, in 1974-1975. From 1977, she developed her style and became the Dutch "talk show queen", attracting millions of viewers. She was noted for her combination of emotional warmth and sharp questioning - until then unheard of on Dutch tv. Her shows broke taboos and allowed ordinary people a voice in public dialog. She retired from television in 2006, after four decades of television making.
