Keira Knightley
Born March 26, 1985 - Teddington, Middlesex, England
Born to an actor father and screenwriter mother, it was natural for her to ease into show business, which she did at a very early age (she had an agent at age 3!). Perhaps best known for her work as Queen Amidala's decoy in Star Wars: Episode I, The Phantom Menace (in full makeup, even her mother could not tell her apart from Natalie Portman!). She was also very good in Bend It Like Beckham and Pirates of the Carribean.
Trained in dancing, she had dyslexia as a child and required special glasses to read.
Personal Quote: "The problem for me was that by being in the film the magic was broken. I loved the first Star Wars film and my mum was really into it too, that's why I took the part. But the Force wasn't there when we were filming it, and they didn't have real light sabres, which annoyed me."
