Alice Krige
Alice Krige (born June 28, 1954 in Upington, South Africa) is an actress best known for her role in the Star Trek series as the Borg Queen. She grew up without television, as South Africa didn't start getting TV until 1976, the year she left for London.
Initially she had plans to become a clinical psychologist but turned to acting after an experience in an acting class at Rhodes University. She then attended the Central School of Speech and Drama in London. She made her professional debut on British television in 1979.
She was awarded the Laurence Olivier Theatre Award in 1982 (1981 season) for Most Promising Newcomer in the production of Arms of the Man. She was nominated for "Best Supporting Actress" at the 1992 Saturn Award for her role in Sleepwalkers. On April 2004 she was awarded an honorary Doctor of Literature degree from Rhodes University.
Alice Kriege is married to writer and director Paul Schoolman.
