Keira Knightley, was born in March 22, 1985 in a family of actors and writers in Teddington, a suburb of London. For three years, little Keira begged his mother to hire her own agent, who was looking for suitable projects for her participation.
At the age of six Knightley parents agreed to allow their daughter to have her agent, but under the condition that she would work hard every day during her summer vacation. For Keira, who grew up with a slight defect in development - dyslexia (when people cannot pronounce the long words), it was a great gift.
Initially, her main goal has remained diligent study in school, but little by little success on the actor's career began to become reality. Hard work by Keira on the development of her artistic skills soon began to bear fruits. Through its diligence and close resemblance with Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley hit the cast of the film "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" on the role of servant of Queen Amidala, played by Portman. This small but memorable role attracted her attention in Britain, and in the States, and after the movie was released in 1999, Knightley has the role of Rose Fleming in the miniseries "Oliver Twist".
After "Star Wars" and "Oliver Twist" everything went even better in actress biography. In 2001, Knightley starred in the success of British films "Hole", and in 2002 spent three months in Slovakia, filming in "Doctor Zhivago". But the real breakthrough for a great movie she got in 2002 with movie "Bend It like Beckham".
Summer 2003 marked the release of large movie hit - Hollywood blockbuster "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" with Keira Knightley in the main female role. After the release of this epic adventure to the actress came true success, not comparable with the fact that she had received before. Now, many people speak about her. The film opened her way to Hollywood Olympus.
In one of the interviews Keira told about her success and life at all.
"In school I was a nerd. I have always been first raised my hand. My homework was done on time. I never had to stay after school. Now I'm ashamed to even talk about it, because this pattern of behavior is so boring! But then I focused on success in school and was very afraid that I can something fail. Therefore, acting game was for me a kind of salvation from possible failures in school. If the school went something wrong, I could always say: "But I can do it!" But now, when I finished school, I was nowhere to retreat. That is, I can't do something in film, there is no change I will not stay, and it scares me. Now that I have achieved such heights in my career, I'm still surprised how quickly it has come to me. The role in "Pirates of the Caribbean" I've got rather easy. My agent has phoned me and asked: "Would you like to play in this film?" I replied: "Of course!"
"Pirates of the Caribbean" became for me an unforgettable experience. Johnny Depp is simply amazing! He's a great guy and a phenomenally talented actor. The entire film crew was at both the selection is good, and we had a great time during the entire period of filming. In the film, I had to kiss Orlando Bloom himself, and it was just amazing! The film with such stars was so massive that I cannot imagine another larger project".
