Louisa Johanna Theodora "Wieteke" van Dort (16 May 1943 – 15 July 2024) was a Surabaya-born Javindo actress, comedian, singer, writer and artist. On 29 April 1999, Queen Beatrix appointed her Knight of the Order of Orange-Nassau. She appeared on many children's television programmes and was best known for her Indo character of Tante Lien in The Late Late Lien Show on Dutch prime time television. Her show was the only television programme ever to showcase Indo (Eurasian) culture and introduced many Indo artists and music to mainstream audiences in the Netherlands. After three seasons, the television series ended in 1988, but her Tante Lien character is popular to this day and in 2007, she was awarded the Silver Medal of Merit for her contributions in this role from the Dutch State Secretary for Defence.
