Alice 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).
