Keira Knightley

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0461136/

Keira Knightley is an interesting one because she started out as the Natalie Portman decoy in the first Star Wars. She then got her own franchise with the Pirates movies. Until Natalie did "Black Swan", Keira was killing her with the seemingly better resume. "Atonement" won for best picture and "The Duchess" seems to be well-regarded also. Keira has played two characters that I enjoy who are both named Elizabeth. Elizabeth Swann from the Pirates series and Elizabeth Bennet from "Pride and Prejudice" are girls who are awesome in that they are smart and strong in times where girls were not allowed to rise to their potential. Jennifer Ehle will always be Elizabeth Bennet to me though although I did enjoy Keira's take on the character.

Movies I've watched her in: Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace; The Hole; Pirates of the Caribbean 1-3; Pride and Prejudice; Atonement; The Duchess
