Frédérique Hoschédé (born on 14 July 1953 in Paris, France), known as Dorothée, is a French singer and actress.

She started her TV career in the Dorothée et Blablatus show.

She also had a brief cinema career, playing in L'amour en fuite, François Truffaut's last film in the Antoine Doinel series, and in 1981 in Pile ou face by Robert Enrico.

From 1982 to 1987, she presented the Récré A2 TV show on Antenne 2, then the Club Dorothée show (TF1) until 1997.

Through popular TV shows for children like "Club Dorothée" famous in France for screening Japanese anime and tokusatsu shows like Choujuu Sentai Liveman and Sekai Ninja Sen Jiraiya which she had appearances in, she gained a huge fan-base among the generation born in the late 1970s and early 1980s, who still worship her though they are now adults.

Her career as a singer for children was also successful since most of her albums were certified gold or platinum in France. She also filled the biggest concert halls in France throughout the 1980s.
