                  PROFILE AND PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

                      DATED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

              SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROFILE AND PROSPECTUS
           DATED MAY 1, 1999, AS AMENDED JUNE 30, 1999 FOR
      DEFERRED COMBINATION VARIABLE AND FIXED ANNUITY CONTRACT

          ISSUED BY GOLDEN AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
               (THE "GoldenSelect Access/R/ PROSPECTUS")

The following information supplements and replaces certain
information contained in the Profile and Prospectus dated May 1,
1999, as amended, for Deferred Combination Variable and Fixed Annuity
Contracts.

The section titled "Systematic Withdrawals" on page 18 of the
Prospectus is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:

     "SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWALS
     You may elect to receive automatic systematic withdrawal
     payments (1) from the contract value in the subaccounts in which
     you are invested, or (2) from the interest earned in your Fixed
     Interest Allocations.  Systematic withdrawals may be taken
     monthly, quarterly or annually. You decide when you would like
     systematic payments to start as long as it starts at least 28
     days after your contract date.  You also select the date on
     which the systematic withdrawals will be made, but this date
     cannot be later than the 28th day of the month.  If you have
     elected to receive systematic withdrawals but have not chosen a
     date, we will make the withdrawals on the same calendar day of
     each month as your contract date.  If your contract date is
     after the 28th, your systematic withdrawal will be made on the
     28th day of each month.

     Each systematic withdrawal amount must be a minimum of $100.
     The amount of your systematic withdrawal can either be (1) a
     fixed dollar amount, or (2) an amount based on a percentage of
     your contract value.  Both forms of systematic withdrawals are
     subject to the following maximum, which is calculated on each
     withdrawal date:
                              MAXIMUM PERCENTAGE
               FREQUENCY      OF CONTRACT VALUE
               Monthly             1.25%
               Quarterly           3.75%
               Annually           15.00%

     If your systematic withdrawal is a fixed dollar amount and the
     amount to be systematically withdrawn would exceed the
     applicable maximum percentage of your contract value on any
     withdrawal date, we will automatically reduce the amount
     withdrawn so that it equals such percentage.  Thus, your fixed
     dollar systematic withdrawals will never exceed the maximum
     percentage.  If you want fixed dollar systematic withdrawals to
     exceed the maximum percentage and are willing to incur
     associated surrender charges, consider the Fixed Dollar
     Systematic Withdrawal Feature which you may add to your regular
     systematic withdrawal program.

     If your systematic withdrawal is based on a percentage of your
     contract value and the amount to be systematically withdrawn
     based on that percentage would be less than $100, we will
     automatically increase the amount to $100 as long as it does not
     exceed the maximum percentage.  If the systematic withdrawal
     would exceed the maximum percentage, we will send the amount,
     and then automatically cancel your systematic withdrawal option.

     Systematic withdrawals from Fixed Interest Allocations are
     limited to interest earnings during the prior month, quarter, or
     year, depending on the frequency you chose.  Systematic
     withdrawals are not subject to a Market Value Adjustment, unless
     you have added the Fixed Dollar Systematic Withdrawal Feature
     discussed below and the payments exceed interest earnings.
     Systematic withdrawals from Fixed Interest Allocations under the
     Fixed Dollar Systematic Withdrawal Feature are available only in
     connection with Section 72(q) or 72(t) distributions.  A Fixed
     Interest Allocation may not participate in both the systematic
     withdrawal option and the dollar cost averaging program at the
     same time.

     You may change the amount or percentage of your systematic
     withdrawal once each contract year or cancel this option at any
     time by sending satisfactory notice to our Customer Service
     Center at least 7 days before the next scheduled withdrawal
     date.  The systematic withdrawal option may commence in a
     contract year where a regular withdrawal has been taken but you
     may not change the amount or percentage of your withdrawals in
     any contract year during which you have previously taken a
     regular withdrawal.  You may not elect the systematic withdrawal
     option if you are taking IRA withdrawals.

           FIXED DOLLAR SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL FEATURE.  You may add
     the Fixed Dollar Systematic Withdrawal Feature to your regular
     fixed dollar systematic withdrawal program.  This feature allows
     you to receive a systematic withdrawal in a fixed dollar amount
     regardless of any surrender charges or Market Value Adjustments.
     Systematic withdrawals from Fixed Interest Allocations under the
     Fixed Dollar Systematic Withdrawal Feature are available only in
     connection with Section 72(q) or 72(t) distributions.  You
     choose the amount of the fixed systematic withdrawals, which may
     total up to an annual maximum of 15% of your contract value as
     determined on the day we receive your election of this feature.
     The maximum limit will not be recalculated when you make
     additional premium payments, unless you instruct us to do us.
     We will assess a surrender charge on the withdrawal date if the
     systematic withdrawal exceeds the maximum limit as calculated on
     the withdrawal date.  We will assess a Market Value Adjustment
     on the withdrawal date if the systematic withdrawal from a Fixed
     Interest Allocation exceeds your interest earnings on the
     withdrawal date.  We will apply the surrender charge and any
     Market Value Adjustment directly to your contract value (rather
     than to the systematic withdrawal) so that the amount of each
     systematic withdrawal remains fixed.

     Flat dollar systematic withdrawals which are intended to satisfy
     the requirements of Section 72(q) or 72(t) of the Tax Code may
     exceed the maximum.  Such withdrawals are subject to surrender
     charges and Market Value Adjustment when they exceed the
     applicable free withdrawal amount."

This supplement should be retained with your Prospectus.
