Dorothée is the stage name of Frédérique Hoschedé (born 14 July
1953 in Paris), a French singer and television presenter. She was a
continuity announcer on French public broadcaster Antenne 2 from 1977
to 1983, but she is best known for having presented children's
television shows like Les mercredis de la jeunesse (Childhood's
Wednesdays, 1973), Dorothée et ses amis (Dorothée and Her Friends,
1977â€"1978), Récré A2 (Recess A2, 1978â€"1987), and especially Club
Dorothée (Dorothée's Club, 1987â€"1997), which totalled up to about
30 hours of broadcast per week and popularized Japanese animation in
France (with titles like Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, City Hunter or
Hokuto no Ken, sparking controversy and complaints from the CSA as
well as some political figures for their violent content).She is also
a singer with a large discography (one album per year on average
between 1980 and 1996), singing pop music for children, and she has
also recorded the best-known French traditional nursery rhymes in a
record collection called Le jardin des chansons (Garden of Songs).
Several of her songs were used for the opening of animated series
featured in the Club Dorothée (including "Candy", "Sophie et
Virginie"). One of her trademarks is that each of her albums, starting
from Hou ! la menteuse in 1982 and up until Dorothée 2010, featured a
song with the word "valise" (suitcase) in its title, with a similar
melody but a different arrangement and partially updated lyrics,
totalling 16 "valise" songs.Between 1990 and 1996, Dorothée did 56
shows at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy (now called AccorHotels
Arena), which is still the record for a female artist, and the third
global performance for the total number of concerts in this venue
behind Michel Sardou and Johnny Hallyday. Besides, her 1992 tour
attracted more people in France than Johnny Hallyday and Michael
Jackson, earning her a "Fauteuil d'Or" award for more than 500,000
tickets sold. DorothÃ(c)e Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
