Keira Knightley was nominated for an Oscar for her work in Pride and Prejudice, and her two performances in 2008 have won similar praise. First there was The Edge of Love, based on a screenplay by her mom, Sharman Macdonald, and then there was The Duchess, in which she played the Duchess of Devonshire.
Acting aside, Keira Knightley is also a total knockout. She topped the list of 2007 beauty icons by UK chain Superdrug, and she’ll continue her hallucinatory effects on the male libido in the 2009 film Last Night, with Sam Worthington and Eva Mendes.
