She was destined to be an actress as it was in her blood. An actor father and a playwright mother meant that Hollywood was ever eager to absorb the talent of this striking screen goddess.
Keira Christina Knightley was born on 26th March 1985 to actor Will Knightley and actress turned playwright Sharman MacDonald. Growing up in the backyard of such fine creative people meant that she grew up with big aspirations and got all the necessary education on acting at home itself. It is no wonder then that at the tender age of 3 she had asked for her own agent and got it by the time she turned 6.
However, her parents still had a few tricks up their sleeves. As part of the deal, Keira, who is dyslexic, had to study through the school holidays and she was only permitted to work on productions if they didn’t interfere with her education. Her acting skills were regularly honed as she grew up morphing into waif like beauty. The heady mix of beauty with extra-ordinary acting skills was waiting for world’s attention. And soon under thousands flashbulbs she shone radiantly.
