• Name: Alice Krige
  • Date of Birth: June 28, 1954
  • Place of Birth: Upinton, South Africa
Mini-bio: A psychology student in her native South Africa, slim, fragile-looking leading lady Alice Krige decided upon an acting career upon moving to London. Krige studied at the Central School of Speech and D... read morerama (at 22, she was nearly the oldest student there), then established her reputation on stage. Her first film appearance was as Sybil, the casual lady friend of Olympic athlete Ben Cross, in the Oscar-winning Chariots of Fire (1981). Next she co-starred in Ghost Story as the "avenging angel" who brings well-deserved grief to elderly Fred Astaire, Melvyn Douglas, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and John Houseman. Her later film roles included Bathsheba in King David (1985) and Mary Godwin (aka Mary Shelley) in Haunted Summer (1988). Alice Krige has also been in more than her share of British and American made-for-TV movies, among them Baja, California (1984), Iran: Days of Crisis (1986) and Max and Helen (1990). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Replace this image with an actor photoAlice Krige mini-bio: Alice Maud Krige was born in Upington, South Africa on June 28, 1954 where her father, Dr. Louis Krige, worked as a young physician. The Kriges later moved to Port Elizabeth where Alice grew up in what she describes as a "very happy family," a family that also included two older brothers (both of whom became physicians) and her mother, Pat, a clinical psychologist. "I just remember it as being supremely safe and very warm," she says. "It was an absolutely golden childhood." Interestingly, she also grew up without television, something which the actress calls a "huge black hole in my education" (South Africa didn't start getting television until 1976, a year after Alice left the country to pursue an acting career in London...the South African system of apartheid would continue for yet another 18 years).
