In 2003, Keira Knightley took audiences by storm when she brought Jane Austen's independently minded Elizabeth to life in the film adaptation Pride & Prejudice. Proclaiming herself as a series actress, the London born native made a name for herself, earning her first Oscar nomination for the role. In 2007, Knightley would take on the daunting task of portraying history again as she played Cecilia; a woman whose romantic life is sent into a state of chaos when an intentionally misguided accusation puts her one true love behind bars in Joe Wright's Atonement.
