Vicky Krieps (born 4 October 1983) is a Luxembourgish actress who has starred in a number of Luxembourgish, French and predominantly German productions.

Personal information

She was born in Luxembourg City as the daughter of a Luxembourgish father and a German mother.[1] She is the granddaughter of Luxembourg politician and war-time member of the Resistance Robert Krieps. She is in a relationship with German actor Jonas Laux and mother of a daughter. The family lives in Berlin.[2]

Career

Vicky Krieps gathered first acting experience at the Lycée de Garçons secondary school in Luxembourg, also receiving a first actual coaching at the Conservatoire of Luxembourg City. In 2004 she was far from convinced that an acting career would be her future, so, instead of immediately enrolling in one of the drama schools, she participated in a social projet in the primary school of a South African Township near Knysna, confirming her resolve to study acting, with the goal of playing on theatre stages.[3]

She enrolled in the Zurich University of the Arts (Zürcher Hochschule der Künste) while gathering acting experience at the Zurich playhouse (Schauspielhaus Zürich).

She played numerous roles in Luxembourgish productions and Luxembourgish-foreign coproductions before taking on increasingly important roles in exclusively foreign production, such as Hanna (2011), the biopic Rommel (2013), Before the Winter Chill (2013) and eventually the feature film Elly Beinhorn - solo flight, a biopic about the German aviation pioneer Elly Beinhorn.
