Krista Errickson was born in Abington, Pennsylvania. She is the granddaughter of Broadway set designer Jo Mielziner. Errickson is a goddaughter of director, writer, and producer Elia Kazan.

She began acting in 1978 and is a lifetime member of the Actors Studio.

As a teenager, Errickson began appearing in television and film projects. She replaced Donna Wilkes in the role of Diane Alder on the second season of the TV series Hello, Larry and on four episodes of Diff'rent Strokes.

Errickson continued acting until 1994, appearing in movies and guest starring in shows such as Fame, Mr. Belvedere, 21 Jump Street, and Beverly Hills, 90210.

Her journalism career began at RAI's Channel 1 in Rome before becoming a host for RAI International and RAISAT. She became senior producer and journalist reporting on current events and international politics, with a focus on Middle East relations. Some of her more well-known programs were The Yellowcake Uranium Scandal, RAWA’s Meena: The Story of a Revolutionary, and In the Name of God, about Iran’s Islamic fundamentalism.

She was the first female journalist to interview Sheikh Nasrallah (for her documentary, Inside the Hezbollah, which later became the subject of a book she co-authored). For CBS and the Discovery Channel, she was co-executive producer for The Mysterious Man of The Shroud; The Genetic Revolution, a four-part series which in part exposed secret genetic experiments that were conducted by Monsanto Corporation; The Science of Human Cloning, and the program, Inside The Vatican.

In 2007, she was part of a team sent to Pakistan and Afghanistan, successfully negotiating the release of a kidnapped Italian journalist from the Taliban. In 2008, she successfully aided a recently released political prisoner leave Iran and return to the United States.[1]
