Biography

Alexandra Pigg's life began with her given name, Sandra McKibbin, a moniker she later transformed into a stage name that would undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on the world. Her motivation for doing so was twofold: she wanted a name that wouldn't be easily forgotten, and she thought it would be humorous to see checks made out to A Pigg.

Pigg's early career in the arts began with her own poetry recitals in local pubs. She soon transitioned to the world of dance, enrolling in a ballet school where she gained valuable experience performing in nightclubs. What set her apart from her peers was her trusty pet python, which she incorporated into her performances as a unique gimmick.

As her talents continued to flourish, Pigg landed a role as Petra in the popular British television soap opera, Brookside. This marked a significant milestone in her career, paving the way for her big break in the film industry. Her breakout role came in the film Letter to Brezhnev, a performance that further solidified her position as a talented and versatile actress.
