Marguerite van Eeden is an accomplished South African actress known for her emotional honesty on screen and the kind of professionalism directors rely on. With years of experience across film, television, and commercials, she brings depth, discipline, and a grounded presence to every role.

Craft & Career

Marguerite first stepped into the industry as a teenager, signing with an agency at fifteen and booking national commercial work before finishing school. Her breakout performance as the title character in Vaselinetjie (2017) quickly established her as a leading talent capable of carrying complex, character-driven stories.

She has since starred in series such as Sara se Geheim, Fynskrif, and Wyfie, as well as multiple feature films including Vergeet My Nie, building a portfolio that reflects both range and consistency.

Alongside her acting work, Marguerite trains in the Meisner Technique, has worked with renowned accent coaches, and has invested deeply in American accent training, including extended time immersed in the U.S. to study its culture and cadence first-hand.

A Standout on Any Set

• Unmatched professionalism: always prepared, always early; known for knowing her lines better than most on set.

• Zero drama (pun intended): a calm, focused energy that makes her an asset to any cast or crew.

• Bilingual versatility: fluent in Afrikaans and English, equally strong on local and international-leaning productions.

• Creative intuition: also an accomplished photographer, giving her an instinctive understanding of light, framing, and emotion.

• Collaborative spirit: respectful, and easy to work with on every level of production.

Beyond the Work

When she’s not on set, you’ll usually find Marguerite behind a camera, outdoors with friends and family, or spending time with her husband, Roy, filling her life with the same warmth and curiosity she brings to her roles.
