Name: Keira Knightley
Height: 5'7"
Birth Date: 26 March, 1985
Birth Place: Teddington, Middlesex, England,
UK
Occupation: Model/Actress
Born to actor/playwright
parents in Teddington, Middlesex, England, Keira
(who is also sometimes credited as Kiera) Knightley
was born on March 22, 1985. At 3 years old,
she asked her mother for an agent, feeling jealous
that she never received the same amount of calls
that her parents did. At age 6, the Knightleys
agreed to let their daughter have an agent,
provided that she'd study every day during summer
holidays.
This was no small feat for young Keira, who
is dyslexic, but she persevered. Although her
parents had envisioned a more secure career
for their daughter, Keira started to get various
acting jobs. Schooling at a nearby comprehensive
establishment remained her focal point, but
acting as a career choice gradually became a
reality.
Thanks to hard work, and a close resemblance
to star Natalie Portman, Knightley was cast
as Portman's handmaiden in Star Wars: Episode
1 - The Phantom Menace. Her small but memorable
performance garnered her attention in Britain
and the U.S. After the release of the film in
1999, Knightley landed a role in an Oliver Twist
TV miniseries, portraying Rose Fleming.
But is was her other project in 2002 that served
as her breakthrough role. Keira Knightley starred
in Bend It Like Beckham, a hugely popular British
comedy whose unexpected success has been likened
to that of My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
The summer of 2003 ushered in the release of
the Hollywood blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean:
The Curse of the Black Pearl, with Knightley
as the romantic lead. The British comedy Love
Actually, with a star-studded cast including
Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and Liam Neeson, was
released in November 2003, while King Arthur
has a summer 2004 release.
In 2005, she can add The Jacket, co-starring
Adrien Brody, and the sequel to Pirates of the
Caribbean to her resume -- which means Knightley
will be stealing the spotlight for some time
to come.
Barely into adulthood, this hot UK export has
already won over fans across the Atlantic. The
many diverse projects she has lined up prove
that she is ready to take the world by storm,
and we're waiting with open arms. For now, she
keeps a level head and lives with her parents
in Richmond, England.
Keira Knightley claims Johnny Depp is a better
kisser than Orlando Bloom.
The stunning actress gets to smooch both of
the heartthrob actors in their new film 'Pirates
of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest' - the sequel
to the first instalment of the swashbuckling
franchise, 'The Curse of the Black Pearl'.
Earlier this week, Orlando praised Keira for
her fantastic kissing technique, saying: "She's
a great kisser and a lovely and very funny person.
She's absolutely gorgeous.".
