Keira Christina Knightley was born on March 26, 1985, in South London, to the actor Will Knightley and actress turned playwright Sharman Macdonald.
She probably came into the world with the idea of performing, considering she asked for an agent soon after she turned three! Her parents responded by allowing her to work on productions during her holidays. It wasn't enough. At six, Keira got her agent.
At seven, she won her first TV role, playing a little girl in 1993's Royal Celebration.
