Dorette
Potgieter made her debut at the tender age of five in the Afrikaans production
300-Plus, celebrating the tercentenary of Jan van Riebeeck's landing. At
age six she was acting and singing in the musical production of Gigi, followed
by The Sound of Music as Brigitta. She worked on radio dramas and various
dubbings for South African Television from 1980. It was in 1989 that Dorette
made her debut in film, playing the young Jane in Circles in the Forest,
directed by Regardt van den Bergh. Some may remember her as the Timotei
girl also launched on SA television in 1989. In between shoots and auditions,
she busies herself with a cabaret at local Arts Festivals, does charity
work on the Cape flats, lobbies passionately for a toxic free environment,
paints, writes poetry, and gives method-acting tuition to an eager young
fashion model.
