Dorotea van Fornenbergh
Dorotea van Fornenbergh (born between 1647 and 1654 – dead after 1697), was a Dutch stage actor. Born to theatre director Jan Baptist van Fornenbergh (1624–1697) and actor Helena Heusen (ca. 1622–1680), married in 1696 to Johan Hauman Gal. As a member of her fathers theatre company, she was active in Haag, Northern Germany, Scandinavia and Baltic from the 1660s until 1681 with her siblings Susanna, Johanna and Cornelia Dorotea and her likely halfsister Anna van Fornenbergh. She performed in Altona, Tallinn, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Riga. In 22 February 1667, she is likely to have participated in the inauguration performance of the theatre Lejonkulan in Stockholm.
In July 1681, Dorotea followed the example of her sister Cornelia and received the communion as a member of the reformed church after having renounced and repented her profession as shamefull, followed by her father and her sister Johanna.
