Keira Christina Knightley (born 26 March 1985) is an English film actress.  She began her career as a child and came to international prominence in 2003 after co-starring in the films Bend It Like Beckham and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

Knightley has appeared in several Hollywood films and earned nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actress and Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for her role as Elizabeth Bennet in Joe Wright's 2005 adaptation of Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice.  Two years later she again was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, as well as the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her performance in Atonement.

In 2008, Forbes claimed Knightley to be the second highest paid actress in Hollywood, having reportedly earned $32 million in 2007, making her the only non-American on the list of highest paid actresses.

Knightley was born in Teddington, London, England, the daughter of Sharman MacDonald, an award-winning playwright, and Will Knightley, a theatre and television actor.  She has an English father and a Scottish mother of half Welsh ancestry.  She has an elder brother, Caleb, who was born in 1979.  Knightley lived in Richmond, attending Stanley Junior School, Teddington School and Esher College.  She is dyslexic, but nevertheless was successful in school and was thus permitted to acquire a talent agent and pursue an acting career.  She requested an agent as early as the age of three and got one when she turned six, from her mother as a reward for studying hard.  Knightley has noted that she was "single-minded about acting" during her childhood.  She performed in a number of local amateur productions, including After Juliet (written by her mother) and United States (written by her then drama teacher, Ian McShane, no relation to the Deadwood actor).
