Born Annelisa Dora Deborah Weiland in Sea Point, Cape Town, on 15 February 1949, she is the daughter of Ewald Paul Weiland and his wife Stienie Hoogenhout Goosen. Her father came from Bielefeld in Germany at the age of 22 to help install textile machinery, but after initially returning to Germany, he soon came back to South Africa to settle.
Annelisa grew up in Durbanville and in 1966 she matriculated from the Durbanville Hoërskool, where she was head girl and attended drama classes by Babs Laker. She went to the University of Cape Town to study drama, where Janice Honeyman, Paul Slabolepszy, Bill Flynn and Grethe Fox were contemporaries and Robert Mohr was her lecturer.
In 1969 she was cast by Mavis Taylor in the role of the daughter in Strindberg’s The Father. She played in Dieter Reible’s version of Titus Andronicus in 1970 and was Ophelia in Robert Mohr’s production of Hamlet, both for CAPAB.
