Colette Mann (born 1950, in Melbourne, Australia) is an Australian actress, most notable for playing the role of Doreen Anderson (later Burns), in the Australian series Prisoner from 1979–1982, with return appearances in 1983 and in 1984.

She has also appeared in such series as The Flying Doctors, MDA and Blue Heelers. In 1995–1996 she took over the role of Cheryl Stark for eight weeks in soap opera Neighbours when the usual actor Caroline Gillmer was taken ill at a crucial point in Cheryl's storyline.

Colette has also appeared as a presenter on many TV shows including The Don Lane Show, What's Cooking and Good Morning Australia. Collette has also appeared on Hey Hey It's Saturday.

Collette was part of a three-woman troupe in the 1980s called The Mini Busettes with fellow Prisoner stars Jane Clifton and Betty Bobbitt. They performed for three seasons at Melbourne's Le Joke comedy venue and at many Sydney League's Clubs.[1]

In 1988, Collette portrayed the role of "Edith Fraser" in the American Television movie, Outback Bound, which also starred American actors, Donna Mills and John Schneider.

Mann, in 2005, played the role of 'Buttercup' in Opera Australia's acclaimed production of HMS Pinafore by Gilbert and Sullivan. Mann's portrayal of the "bumboat woman" was contrary to most performances of this role – her singing voice was more coarse than most contraltos or mezzo sopranos who tackle this role. This production is available on DVD.

Until April 2010, Colette appears on stage in Melbourne as Shirley, the battleaxe owner of Broken Hill pub, in Priscilla Queen of the Desert - the Musical.[2]

Mann has also been a fill in presenter for Glenn Ridge on MTR 1377.

Columnist and Author

Collette had a column in the magazine New Idea for some time which talked about her and her sons.

She also wrote two books entitled It’s A Mann’s World (released in 1990); and Give Me A Break (released in 2002).[3]
