REMEMBER HER? Nora is that really you!? WHAT on Earth has happened to the oh so elegant Marietjie Barnhoorn?


What on Earth happened? Christine Basson just resurfaced on television looking nothing like the very elegant Marietjie Barnhoorn of the mid-eighties primetime drama Agter Elke Man, and then as Nora in the nineties soap opera Egoli that ended just over a year ago on M-Net.

Frizzy hair and big red-rimmed glasses reminiscent of the 80's is how South African viewers saw Christine Basson - a far cry of how she usually appeared on South African television. After the end of the longrunning Egoli Christine Basson is back working at a South African soap - but not in front of the screen. At least, not looking like that.

Christine Basson is the dialogue coach at SABC2's weekday soap 7de Laan and popped up on SABC3's Top Billing in a behind-the-scenes shoot.
