Vicky Krieps (born October 4, 1983) is a Luxembourgish actress. She has starred in a number of American, Luxembourgish, French and German productions. She appeared in films, such as Hanna, Two Lives, A Most Wanted Man, The Chambermaid Lynn, Colonia, and Old. Krieps had a leading role in the Academy Award-winning film Phantom Thread. She has starred in the films, Gutland, The Girl in the Spider's Web and The Last Vermeer. She received a German Television Award for the series Das Boot.

Early life[]

Krieps was born in Luxembourg City, the daughter of a Luxembourgish father, who managed a film distribution company, and of a German mother.[1][2] Her grandfather, Robert Krieps, was a politician and war-time member of the Luxembourg Resistance.[2] Krieps had her first acting experiences at the Lycée de Garçons secondary school in Luxembourg, receiving training at the Conservatoire of Luxembourg City. In 2004, she was far from convinced that her career would be her future. Rather than enrolling in one of the drama schools, she participated in a social project at the primary school of a South African township near Knysna. This confirmed her resolve to study acting, with the goal of performing on theatre stages.[3] She attended Zurich University of the Arts, while gathering acting experience at the playhouse (Schauspielhaus Zürich).

Career[]

Krieps played numerous roles in Luxembourgish productions and Luxembourgish-foreign coproductions before taking on increasingly important roles in foreign productions, such as Hanna, Rommel, Before the Winter Chill and Elly Beinhorn – Alleinflug, a biopic about the German aviation pioneer Elly Beinhorn. She had her first leading English role in Phantom Thread, opposite Daniel Day-Lewis.[4][5] Receiving critical acclaim for her role, Dan Jolin of Empire stated that Krieps "can hold her own opposite a titan like Day-Lewis," while David Edelstein of Vulture wrote that she is "bewitchingly lucent, her face just masklike enough to make our sudden awareness of all her dark thoughts a shock."[6][7] Krieps played the publisher of the fictional Millennium magazine in The Girl in the Spider's Web.[8] She played the morally compromised Alsatian interpreter in the television series Das Boot and subsequently in the second series.[9]

Personal life[]

Krieps lives in Berlin, Germany. She has two children, Elise and Jan-Noah.
