Alice Krige is celebrating her 72nd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress-producer Alice Krige (Silent Hill, Star Trek: First Contact, Chariots of Fire, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 72nd birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Krige, a cultural icon

Born Alice Maud Krige in Upington on June 28, 1954, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in South African history. Krige's not just a great actress, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Alice hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Alice Krige as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 72.

Happy Birthday, Alice, you're the best!
