Knightley was born March 26 1985 in
London England to an award-winning
playwright and an actor she followed in
her parents footsteps when she signed
with an agent at age three and spent her
youth in amateur productions Knightley’s
dyslexia never prevented her from
achieving her goals and she appeared in
several television commercials and minor
roles she made her film debut in 1995
when she starred as the younger version
of the main character in the thriller
innocent lies she slipped under the
radar again when she played Queen
Amidala soil handmaiden and decoy in
Star Wars Episode one The Phantom Menace

voice was also dubbed with hers I come
before you in peace she then managed to
land a starring role as Robin Hood’s
daughter in Disney’s made-for-tv feature

major breakthrough in 2002’s
cross-cultural comedy Bend It Like
Beckham where she played the main
characters tomboyish best friend honey

Knightley to drop out of school to focus

move paid off when she became a
Hollywood sensation in 2003 with the
release of Pirates of the Caribbean the
curse of the Black Pearl starring
alongside Johnny Depp in Orlando Bloom

gone after a starring role in the TV
remake of Doctor Zhivago she was cast in
the romantic comedy Love Actually beside
her childhood idol Emma Thompson
Knightley then took on the challenging
project King Arthur where she played a
warrior version of Lady Guinevere

undertake three months of intense body
building as well as horseback riding
sword fighting and archery lessons she
