Keira Knightley first asked her parents for an agent at the tender age of three, but they refused, not wanting their daughter to follow them onto the stage. Keira Knightley kept at them, and they finally gave in when she was six. However, her parents still had a few tricks up their sleeves. As part of the deal, Keira Knightley, who is dyslexic, had to study through the school holidays, and she was only permitted to work on productions if they didn't interfere with her education.
In 1994, at the age of nine, Keira Knightley completed her first movie, starring as Natasha Jordan in Moira Armstrong's 'A Village Affair'. Following this, she played a number of small roles in other productions.
Her first high profile role came in 1999, when Keira Knightley played the part of Sabe, the decoy queen in Star Wars Episode I. Her part in the film was kept secret in the lead up to the much anticipated release, and Natalie Portman was promoted as having played the roles of both the real and decoy queens so as not to spoil the surprise. A lot of fans still think Portman played both roles.
