Born: March 26, 1985
Location:Teddington, Middlesex, England; United Kingdom
Quote: "Do you know that on all the sets I've been on, nobody has ever made a pass at me?"
Named Answer's Angel: August 13, 2005

Keira Knightley has the honor of being The Answer's 2nd Angel. It's no coincidence that Ms. Knightley also happens to be from England, I seem have a soft spot for English girls I guess. I first saw Keira in Pirates of the Caribbean, and have been a fan of hers ever since. What's great about Keira is she's not the type of actress who will do anything, she's found her own special niche and consistently puts forth amazing performances, even if the film doesn't happen to be as amazing.

Interesting Tidbits:
- Has dyslexia. She had to wear special glasses in adolescence to help her read.

- She's an idol in several forum communities from Heavengames.com, one of the most famous websites about Real Time Strategy computer games. (OKAY!?!?!)

- Voted second sexiest voice, behind Sir Sean Connery, in a poll by the UK's Royal National Institute for the Blind, commissioned to celebrate 70 years of their Talking Books service.

- At age 20, she is the third youngest woman to be nominated for Best Actress in Oscar history.

- Her Hero is her cast mate in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Geoffrey Rush.

Hotness Rating: 10/10
Another beautiful face with a great pouty smile. Again these English girls have it all.

Acting Rating: 10/10
Knightley continues to impress me with her talent and ability, from romance to action and adventure she can truly pull off a nice performance, which is why she was nominated for an Academy Award. So far the only bad acting I have seen from her has been from Domino, which was partly due to a horrible script.
