KEIRA KNIGHTLEY BIOGRAPHY |
|
|
| |
| When she was only 6 years old, Keira had landed
herself an agent and at the age of 7 she got her first part from
a friend of her parents'. In 1994, when Keira was only 9-years-old,
she played Natasha Jordan in the movie A Village Affair. One
year later, she played the young Celia Graves in the movie
Innocent Lies (aka Halcyon Days.) The role that made her famous
to some degree was that of Sab¨¦ - Queen Amidala's most trusted
handmaiden, decoy, and best friend - in Star Wars: Episode I The
Phantom Menace (released in 1999). When LucasFilm stumbled
across young Keira, she was only 14-years-old. It wasn't until
1998 that Keira Knightley received her "introducing" credit when
she starred in the first (of a four-part) Drama series called
Coming Home. She played the role of young Judith Dunbar. More
and more parts came Keira's way, and in July 2003, at the age of
19, Keira has become an international star with the releases of
Bend It Like Beckham and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of
the Black Pearl. Since then she has completed an impressive
array of films including Hole, The (2001) and has recently
completed filming on a new Richard Curtis comedy, Love Actually
(2003). Though beautiful, young, and famous, Keira still keeps
her head about her. Scripts and job offers keep pouring in for
the young star, but she still says it could all be over tomorrow.
Keira plans to have fun with acting, but is prepared for the
worst. |
