Great Actress Keira Knightley was born on March 22, 1983, in London, England. Her father, Will Knightley, is an actor and her mother, Sharman Macdonald, a writer. She has an older brother, Caleb, born in 1979. At the age of 3, Keira asked her parents for an agent, feeling jealous that she never received the same amount of calls that her parents did. When she was 6 years old, her parents agreed to let their daughter have an agent, provided that she would study every day during the summer holidays (Keira is dyslexic). In 1999, thanks to a close resemblance to star Natalie Portman, Kiera Knightley was cast as Portman's handmaiden in Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace.
