Biography

  Alice Maud Krige (her last name is pronounced KREE-GA) was born on June 28th, 1954 in Upington, Northern Cape Province, South Africa. The family later moved to Port Elizabeth where Alice grew up. Alice attended Rhodes University where she planned to train as a clinical psychologist. At school, the University started a drama school and with one free credit, Alice took a dramatic acting class. She decided that she wanted to act and so she next attended The Central School of Speech and Drama in London. Her first professional acting performance was a tiny television role in a 1979 BBC "Play for Today." This was followed by her role as "Sybil Gordon" in the Academy Award winning Best Picture, Chariots of Fire (released in 1981). Alice then did the 1980 television adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities. Also in 1981, Alice debuted in a West End theatre production of Bernard Shaw's Arms and the Man. Next Krige decided to focus on spending some time working with the prestigious Royal Shakespeare Company. During her three and a half years with the RSC, Alice performed in such productions as King Lear, The Tempest, The Taming of the Shrew and Cyrano de Bergerac.

After her stint with the Royal Shakespeare Company, Ms. Krige returned to work in film and television. Her career could best be described as an eclectic mix of both mediums. She appeared in a diverse range of films, such as King David (1985), Barfly (1987), Haunted Summer (1988), Code Name: Chaos (1988) and See You in the Morning (1989). Her work in television included critically acclaimed mini-series, such as Ellis Island (1984) and Wallenberg: A Hero's Story (1985), as well as a healthy dose of what Alice herself calls, "kitchen sink dramas." In addition to numerous roles in television including appearances on Beverly Hills, 90201 and Becker, Alice also appeared in the films Sleepwalkers (1992), Institute Benjamenta (1995), Donor Unknown (1995), Amanda (1996), Twilight of the Ice Nymphs (1997), Habitat (1997), The Commissioner (1998) and Molokai: The Story of Father Damien (1999). One notable standout, however, was the film Star Trek: First Contact (1996) for which Ms. Krige won a 1997 Saturn Award for her portrayal of the "Borg Queen". This was without a doubt the most commercial, mainstream film with which she has been involved. One obvious and lasting impact of Ms. Krige's experience with Star Trek: First Contact has been her initiation into the world of Star Trek/Sci-fi conventions. The new millenium finds Ms. Krige with several new projects to her credit, which include such works as The Little Vampire (2000), Star Trek Voyager: "End Game" (2001), Attila (2001), Dinotopia (2002), Reign of Fire (2002) and Children of Dune (2003). Alice Krige is married to writer/director, Paul Schoolman, and lives in a permanent house in the United States (Malibu, CA) but they spend much of their time living and working abroad.
