A little gem - Keira Knightly


Another wonderful actress. Young and incredibly talented to boot.

At only 22 years of age she has quite a resume already:

First drew notice in 'Bend It Like Beckham';
made swordplay sexy in 'Pirates of the Caribbean';
got an Oscar nod for her saucy turn in 'Pride & Prejudice'

Don't forget her dramatic roles:

Beginning with the devastating WWII-set 'Atonement' (Dec. 25), for which she'll likely get Oscar nomination No. 2, and 2008's 'The Duchess'
Worth Knowing: She made her film debut as Natalie Portman's handmaiden in 'Star Wars: Episode I' (1999).

Her Hollywood Industry Buzz has this to say: "Her range and sassy star quality, tomboy sexiness and outspoken, deliciously foul mouth all mark Knightley as the potential Katharine Hepburn of the 21st Century." -- Bob Strauss, Film Critic, Los Angeles Daily News
