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.
