and stage productions.Prinsloo has stated that she never expected to
become an actress.“I was a ballet dancer from a very early age and I
remember that I occasionally ushered at the Breytenbach Theatre in
Pretoria when I was in high school. That’s the first time I came
into contact with professional stage acting, but I never thought I’d
be an actress . . . . I think I was far too shy in those days to ever
think I could be an actress. So it wasn’t like I had this great big
burning passion to become an actress, not at all. I preferred an
academic life, in a way. When I went to university, I thought that was
going to be what I was going to do†.
