Early life

Alice Allegra Englert was born in Sydney on 15 June 1994, the daughter of New Zealand filmmaker Jane Campion and Australian filmmaker Colin Englert. She is the maternal granddaughter of actress Edith Campion and theatre director Richard Campion. She was raised in Sydney and various locations where her parents' work took the family, explaining, "I’ve spent half my life on planes. I have a lot of love for New Zealand, though. That is where the really arty, whimsical side of the family resided." She attended schools in Australia, New Zealand, New York City, Rome, and London, as well as other places in England such as the Sibford School, a Quaker school in Oxfordshire. Her parents divorced when she was seven. She later left high school to become an actress.

Career

Englert made her film debut at the age of eight in a film called Listen, followed by an appearance in her mother's short film The Water Diary at the age of 12. In 2012, she starred in Ginger & Rosa. "Needle and Thread", a song written and performed by Englert, was used in the film's soundtrack. In an interview, she stated that she recorded the song "in the bathroom of the apartment [she] was staying in the Warehouse District of New Orleans". She had a role in 2020's Ratched on Netflix.
