KEIRA KNIGHTLEY

The brief but remarkable career of 21-year-old KEIRA KNIGHTLEY (Elizabeth Swann) has now culminated with 2005 Academy Award® and Golden Globe® nominations as Best Actress for her internationally acclaimed performance as Elizabeth Bennet in Joe Wright’s screen adaptation of “Pride &

Prejudice.” Knightley first made headlines in Gurinder Chadha’s sleeper hit, “Bend It Like Beckham,” as teenage soccer player Jules Paxton opposite Parminder K. Nagra. She was then selected by director Gore Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer to portray Elizabeth Swann opposite Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack

Sparrow, Orlando Bloom’s Will Turner and Geoffrey Rush’s Captain Barbossa in the 2003 worldwide blockbuster “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.” Demonstrating equal amounts of beauty and backbone as an aristocratic young woman swept into a fantastical adventure, Knightley is again portraying Elizabeth in PIIBBEAN: DEAD MAN’S CHEST and the tentatively titled “Pirates of the

Caribbean III,” both films again directed by Verbinski and produced by Bruckheimer. Making her professional acting debut at the age of seven on British television in “Royal Celebration,” some of Knightley’s early credits include the features “A Village Affair,” “Innocent Lies” and “Star Wars: Episode 1—The

Phantom Menace,” as well as performances in the TV series “The Bill,” the television movies “Treasure Seekers,” “Coming Home,” Walt Disney’s “Princess of Thieves” (starring as Robin Hood’s daughter Gwyn) and the miniseries “Oliver Twist” and “Doctor Zhivago,” in which she portrayed

Lara Antipova in the adaptation of Boris Pasternak’s classic novel. Her other feature films have included “The Hole,” “Pure” and “The Jacket,” a thriller in which she starred opposite Adrien Brody. The daughter of playwright Sharman Macdonald and actor Will Knightley, she was born in Teddington, Middlesex,

England on 26 of March in 1985. Knightley currently makes her home in London. First I want to describe Keira’s appearance. She’s tall, slim and well-built, in her early twenties. Keira is brown-eyed and fair-haired, her face is oval and her lips are rather full. Knightley’s nose is rather small and straight. For the rising star

Keira conducted herself not ordinaly. Every young actress wants to make her appearance better. But not Keira. She understands that her body is far from perfect, but she takes herself as she is. So I can say that her appearance is rather attractive. Keira likes to wear very comfortable and beautiful clothes. I think that Keira is rather glamorous and I like the clothes she wears.

Keira’s hobby is her work. Most of all she enjoys eating chocolate, sweets and ice-cream. Acclaimed – провозглашать Tentatively – предварительно Backbone – твердость характера “Pride & Prejudice” – “Гордость и Предубеждение"
