Davidtz was born on August 11, 1965, in Lafayette, Indiana, to South African parents John and Jean, while her father was studying chemical engineering at Purdue University.

Davidtz graduated from The Glen High School in Pretoria in 1983 and studied at Rhodes University in Grahamstown.


In 1992, Davidtz played the part of Sheila in Sam Raimi's Army of Darkness alongside Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams.
