Here is Alice Maud Krige's biography:
Born on June 28, 1954, in Upington, South Africa, Alice Maud Krige was raised in a "very happy family" with her parents, Dr. Louis Krige, a young physician, and Pat, a clinical psychologist, and two brothers who also became physicians. Growing up without television, Alice developed a strong interest in dance, but her father disapproved. She instead pursued an undergraduate degree in psychology and literature at Rhodes University, graduating in 1975. During her time at Rhodes, Alice enrolled in a drama class, which would become a life-altering decision.
After graduating, Alice moved to London and enrolled in the Central School of Speech and Drama, where she spent three years studying. Her first professional acting performance was a tiny television role in a 1979 BBC Play for Today. Alice made her feature film debut in the Academy Award-winning Best Picture, Chariots of Fire (1981),and went on to appear in the television adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities (1980) and the film Ghost Story (1981).
Alice's early success in theatre led her to focus on her career, and she spent two seasons with the prestigious Royal Shakespeare Company, performing in productions such as "King Lear", "The Tempest", "The Taming of the Shrew", and "Cyrano de Bergerac". After her stint with the RSC, Alice returned to work in film and television, appearing in a diverse range of projects, including King David (1985),Barfly (1987),Haunted Summer (1988),Spies Inc. (1992),and See You in the Morning (1989).
The 1990s saw Alice continue her eclectic career, appearing in films such as Sleepwalkers (1992),Institute Benjamenta, or This Dream That One Calls Human Life (1995),Donor Unknown (1995),Amanda (1996),Twilight of the Ice Nymphs (1997),Habitat (1997),The Commissioner (1998),and Molokai (1999). Her notable role as the Borg Queen in Star Trek: First Contact (1996) earned her a 1997 Saturn Award.
In the new millennium, Alice has continued to work in film and television, appearing in projects such as The Little Vampire (2000),the Star Trek: Voyager (1995) series finale "Endgame", Attila (2001),Dinotopia (2002),Reign of Fire (2002),Children of Dune (2003),The Mystery of Natalie Wood (2004),and a recurring guest role in the HBO series Deadwood (2004).
