Keira Knightley
Born 26 March 1985, in Teddington, Middlesex
Wise Words: "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."
Name:
Keira Christina Knightley
Keira Knightley has appeared in several Hollywood films and earned an Academy Award nomination for her role as Elizabeth Bennet in Joe Wright's 2005 adaptation of Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice. She has also received critical praise for her newest role as Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire, in ' The Duchess'.
