Few actresses enjoy the kind of success Keira Knightley saw in 2003. First, her
major picture starring debut, Pirates Of The Caribbean, entered the all-time Top
20 of box-office hits. Then, due to this success, her earlier low-budget effort,
Bend It Like Beckham, already a cult smash, found its release widened
dramatically, taking it into undreamed of profit. Following these with Love,
Actually, the latest cute rom-com from Richard "Notting Hill" Curtis,
her rise in a few short months would be nothing short of phenomenal. And still
she was only 18.
She was born Kiera Knightley nude on the 22nd of March, 1985, in Teddington,
south-west London. Her name would become Keira as her Hollywood career took off,
the change shamelessly breaking the golden rule of "I before E except after
C" but making the name more easily pronounceable on a worldwide basis. Her
father was stage actor Will Knightley, who'd make the occasional foray into
television, such as starring as Mr Glegg in the BBC's 1997 production of The
Mill On The Floss. Her Ayrshire-born mother, Sharman MacDonald, had also been a
stage and TV actress (she once appeared in Shoestring). Having joined the Drama
Society at Edinburgh University in 1972, then worked as a go-go dancer to pay
her Drama School fees, she'd battled against stage fright for 12 years.
Eventually, pregnant with Keira nude and having borne son Caleb five years
earlier (he'd go on to teach music to underprivileged kids), in 1984 she gave up
acting and concentrated on her family.
