My Take
Alice Krige is one of those performers whose unsettling versatility I keep returning to. From Upington in South Africa's Northern Cape to Rhodes University and then the world's screens is already a striking journey, but 1981 is the year I marvel at: the luminous Sybil in Chariots of Fire and the eerie Eva Galli in Ghost Story, in the same breath. Later she carved the Borg Queen into pop culture with chilling allure. Olivier and Saturn Awards aside, what compels me is her gift for occupying purity and menace within a single face. She is an actress built to make your skin prickle.
