Always pretty in a corset, British actress Keira Knightley has been performing since childhood. Her first Hollywood gig was a bit part in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, where she played a decoy to Natalie Portman’s Padme Amidala.
Knightley first garnered international acclaim in the indie soccer comedy Bend It Like Beckham. Since then, Knightley has starred in a slew of films including the blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, King Arthur, Domino, and period pieces like Pride and Prejudice, Atonement and The Duchess.
