-Marijke Haakman was born Marijke Margaretha Staal on the Indonesian island of Java in what was then the Netherlands East Indies.  Her mother was Nancy Ballangée, who was either widowed or divorced when she married Jacob Evert (Jaap) Haakman, a former Dutch fighter pilot, in 1947.  That same year the couple and their two daughters came to South Africa, where Marijke’s stepfather became the local General Manager of the travel bureau Lissone-Lindeman.

 She attended Redhill School in Johannesburg and in 1955 she made what may have been her first stage appearance.  Entitled ''[[Circus Adventure]]'', it was written by [[James Ambrose Brown]] for the [[Children’s Theatre]].   Initially she was sent to the Netherlands and France to study art, but she switched her interests to the theatre and in 1959 she graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London.  Her first play as a professional actor in South Africa was [[Jean Giraudoux]]’s ''[[Tiger at the Gates]]'', staged by [[Ricky Arden]] for the [[University Players]] in which she played Helen of Troy.  This was followed by productions for [[Kushlick-Gluckman]], the [[Johannesburg Repertory Society]] and the [[National Theatre]].

-In 1962 she returned to England and after a year in repertory she was spotted by Sir Laurence Olivier, for whom she played small roles in ''Saint Joan'' and ''The Workhouse Donkey'' at the Chichester Festival Theatre.  Rather against her will, her agent had persuaded her to change her professional name to '''Marika Mann''' and in 1966-67 she spent some time first at the Sheffield Playhouse and after that at the Belgrade Theatre in Coventry.  At the latter she was in the cast of the British premiere of Arthur Miller’s ''After the Fall'' (1967), together with no fewer than six other South Africans.  In 1966 she had married Lancashire-born actor/producer [[John McKelvey]] (1916-1998), whom she had met when he had acted with her in ''[[The Complaisant Lover]]'' (1960) for [[Taubie Kushlick]].
