For most of her career which has only been short so far this young lady spent most of her time being a model for some of the great brand names of magazines and products. Like all models however there comes a time when they need to realize that youthful looks do not last forever and eventually age catches up with you. For these models often acting is a good choice for furthering your career which is exactly what Kiera Knightley got into. At an early age Kiera was asked to be one of the actors in one of the all time favorite movies for young teenage English girls and guys. Kiera Knightley was in the movie Bend it Like Beckham which gave her instant celebrity status as well as award nominations. Who would have known that this model would have been the perfect actress which is a reason why she has been asked to do so many more movies?
Even though Kiera is an English actress she made it in the big times through the use of the Hollywood studios. This is not uncommon for English actors and actresses to get into because there is plenty of money to be made in the American film industry. In 2007 it was said that Keira was one of the highest paid actresses on the big screen which means that the $32 million dollars made that year was something very impressive. The short fall in that comment is that many men made a lot more than Kiera did, some making more than double for that year alone in acting. Some of the most popular movies that Kiera has appeared in are the latest of the Star Wars saga in Episode One, the Phantom Menace as well as the kid’s favorites, Pirates of the Caribbean. She has been lucky to appear in the entire Pirate of the Caribbean movies next to Jonny Depp.
