Alice Krige (born 28 June 1954; age 69) is an actress who was introduced to the world of Star Trek in 1996, when she played the Borg Queen in the film Star Trek: First Contact. She went on to reprise the role in the Star Trek: Voyager series finale, "Endgame", and can also be heard in the video game Star Trek: Armada II and at Star Trek: The Experience.
Born in South Africa, Krige was preparing for a career in psychology before moving to London in 1975 to pursue an acting career. Five years later, she made her television acting debut in a made-for-TV version of Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, which starred future Star Trek: Deep Space Nine guest actor Chris Sarandon. However, she attracted much more attention the following year when she made a colorful feature film debut in the acclaimed drama Chariots of Fire, which would go on to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. DS9 and Star Trek: Enterprise guest star Dennis Christopher also had a role in the film.
Since then, she has starred in a number of other films, including Ghost Story (1981, with Craig Wasson and Robin Curtis), Barfly (1987), Spies Inc. (1988, with David Warner), Haunted Summer (1988, co-starring Philip Anglim), See You in the Morning (1989, with George Hearn and Theodore Bikel), Sleepwalkers (1992, with Mädchen Amick, Ron Perlman, and Frank Novak), and Twilight of the Ice Nymphs (1997, with Frank Gorshin). In 2006, she was seen in the films Silent Hill and Lonely Hearts.
