Keira Knightley

Born 26 March 1985, in Teddington, Middlesex

<b>Wise Words:</b> "I don't think I can call myself an actress yet. I just don't think my skill level is that high. I hope that with every job it gets better. But until I'm good, I can say I'm trying to be an actor, but I don't think I've completely made it."nee
