{{quote| ''I'm a tomboy beanpole? I can't use a computer, so maybe I'm a bit out of the loop. I don't know whether to be flattered or not flattered. The beanpole bit, is that good? Can you be a sexy beanpole?''}}

 

 

Knightley oftentimes stars in [[Period Piece|period pieces]] playing a young woman [[Coming of Age Story|approaching adulthood]], usually the [[Spirited Young Lady]] or [[Rebellious Princess]].

* ''Seeking A Friend for the End of the World'' (2011)

 

* [[Academy Award]]: Nomination for "Best Actress" in 2005

* [[Brown Eyes]]

* [[Celebrity Resemblance]]: [[Natalie Portman]]. At age twelve a then unknown Knightley was cast as Sabé, Queen Amidala's decoy in ''[[The Phantom Menace]]'' (1999), due to the strong resemblance between her and Portman. It was reported that the actresses looked so much alike that even ''their own mothers'' regularly mistook one for the other while filming. Although, in fairness, a lot of those scenes involved [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]] and [[Uncanny Valley Makeup]] (still, [http://natalieportman.com/gallery2/g2data/albums/Movies/TPM/production-stills/decoy01.jpg you be the judge]).

* [[Dawson Casting]]: Inverted in ''[[Bend It Like Beckham]]''.
