Keira Knightley One of the most talented American actresses of my generation, Keira Knightley, marked everyone thanks to her movies. She is already a legend. I am one of her fans. KEIRA KNIGHTLEY CLAIMS TO FAME Keira Christina Knightley was born on March 26th in 1985 in Teddington, London, England. Her mother was an actress and her father was an actor. She was a star from the beginning. «If I was not an actress, I would be a cashier at Selfridges! »(Keira Knightley) Knightley began acting at only 10 years old on television with a supporting role as Sabé in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999). But her first significant role was in The Hole (2001). HER FIRST IMPORTANT ROLES AND HER FIRST BIG SUCCESSES Two years later, she knew an international fame thanks to her role as Elizabeth Swann in the Pirates of the Caribbean. Before this movie, she had already acted in Bend It Like Beckham. She is the greatest actress ever! Thanks to her part in the Pirates of the Caribbean she became to play in dramatic movies such as Pride & Prejudice (2005), Atonement (2007), A Dangerous Method (2011), and Anna Karenina (2012). Since 2005, she has played in many, many, many films. Furthermore, she had played in all Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s amazing!!! She is really extraordinary. On top of that, Knightley was nominated and won an Academy Award for Best Actress and she won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress thanks to her performance as Elizabeth Bennet in Joe Wright's in 2005. About 7 years agos she won several rewards. She is a rising star. “I do not like seeing myself in the screen but I know that the camera loves me. Feel that an objective is aimed at you with benevolence, it is as to make love.”(Keira Knightley) OTHER ASPECTS OF HER LIFE In 2005, while she was the subject of the song Star of the Silver, she was a model who attracted the attention of Chanel. Then, two years later, she became the muse of Chanel. Before that, she had been elected «the sexiest of all times star» by the readers of the magazine Worsen. No wonder! She is really exceptional! Even though she is very busy, Keira Knightley went to Chad in 2012 to support Unicef and Soccer Aid Project. She mobilized to raise money to increase the vaccination against the poliomyelitis. She is a star with a big heart. I am really impressed by her career and success. Mark my words! She is the greatest, the best actress ever! I think some more surprises are waiting for us. I hope that the story has grabbed you!! .

The 48 Stars That People Like Less Than Anne Hathaway  by Nate Jones
The 48 Stars That People Like Less Than Anne Hathaway By Nate Jones Spend a few minutes reading blog comments, and you might assume that Anne Hathaway’s approval rating falls somewhere between that of Boko Haram and paper cuts — but you'd actually be completely wrong. According to E-Poll likability data we factored into Vulture's Most Valuable Stars list, the braying hordes of Hathaway haters are merely a very vocal minority. The numbers say that most people actually like her. Even more shocking? Who they like her more than. In calculating their E-Score Celebrity rankings, E-Poll asked people how much they like a particular celebrity on a six-point scale, which ranged from "like a lot" to "dislike a lot." The resulting Likability percentage is the number of respondents who indicated they either "like" Anne Hathaway or "like Anne Hathaway a lot." Hathaway's 2014 Likability percentage was 67 percent — up from 66 percent in 2013 — which doesn't quite make her Will Smith (85 percent), Sandra Bullock (83 percent), Jennifer Lawrence (76 percent), or even Liam Neeson (79 percent), but it does put her well above plenty of stars whose appeal has never been so furiously impugned on Twitter. Why? Well, why not? Anne Hathaway is a talented actress and seemingly a nice person. The objections to her boiled down to two main points: She tries too hard, and she's overexposed. But she's been absent from the screen since 2012'sLes Misérables, so it's hard to call her overexposed now. And trying too hard isn't the worst thing in the world, especially when you consider the alternative.

Publication Date: September 4, 2018 Media Contact: Diane Levinson, Publicity [email protected] 212.354.8840 x248 The Endings Photographic Stories of Love, Loss, Heartbreak, and Beginning Again By Caitlin Cronenberg and Jessica Ennis • Foreword by Mary Harron 11 x 8 in, 136pp, Hardcover, Photographs throughout ISBN 978‐1‐4521‐5568‐5, $29.95 Featuring some of today’s most celebrated actresses, including Julianne Moore, Alison Pill, and Imogen Poots, the photographic vignettes in The Endings capture female characters in the throes of emotional transformation. Photographer Caitlin Cronenberg and art director Jessica Ennis created stories of heartbreak, relationship endings, and new beginnings—fictional but often inspired by real life—and set out to convey the raw emotions that are exposed in these most vulnerable states. Cronenberg and Ennis collaborated with each actress to develop a character, build the world she inhabits, and then photograph her as she lived the role before the camera. Patricia Clarkson depicts a woman meeting her younger lover in the campus library—even though they both know the relationship has been over since before it even began. Juno Temple portrays a broken‐hearted woman who engages in reckless and self‐destructive behavior to numb the sadness she feels. Keira Knightley ritualistically cleanses herself and her home after the death of her great love. Also featured are Jennifer Jason Leigh, Danielle Brooks, Tessa Thompson, Noomi Rapace, and many more. These intimate images combine the lush beauty and rich details of fashion photographs with the drama and narrative energy of film stills. Telling stories of sadness, loneliness, anger, relief, rebirth, freedom, and happiness, they are about relationship endings, but they are also about beginnings.

The Hollywood Reporter November 2015
Reese Witherspoon (right) with makeup artist Molly R. Stern Photographed by Miller Mobley on Nov. 5 at Studio 1342 in Los Angeles “ A few years ago, I was like, ‘I don’t like these lines on my face,’ and Molly goes, ‘Um, those are smile lines. Don’t feel bad about that,’ ” says Witherspoon. “She makes me feel better about how I look and how I’m changing and makes me feel like aging is beautiful.” Styling by Carol McColgin On Witherspoon: Dries Van Noten top. On Stern: m.r.s. top. Beauty in the eye of the beholder? No, today, beauty is in the eye of the Internet. This, 2015, was the year that beauty went fully social, when A-listers valued their looks according to their “likes” and one Instagram post could connect with millions of followers. Case in point: the Ali MacGraw-esque look created for Kendall Jenner (THR beauty moment No. 9) by hairstylist Jen Atkin. Jenner, 20, landed an Estee Lauder con- tract based partly on her social-media popularity (40.9 million followers on Instagram, 13.3 million on Twitter) as brands slavishly chase the Snapchat generation. Other social-media slam- dunks? Lupita Nyong’o’s fluffy donut bun at the Cannes Film Festival by hairstylist Vernon Francois (No. 2) garnered its own hashtag (“They're calling it a #fronut,” the actress said on Instagram. “I like that”); THR cover star Taraji P. Henson’s diva dyna- mism on Fox’s Empire (No. 1) spawns thousands of YouTube tutorials on how to look like Cookie Lyon; and Cara Delevingne’s 22.2 million Instagram followers just might have something do with high-end brow products flying off the shelves.

Bend It Like Beckham
Bend It Like Beckham Dir. Gurinder Chadha, UK/Germany 2002, Certificate 12A Introduction Bend It Like Beckham was one of the surprise hits of 2002, making over £11,000,000 at the UK Box Office and hitting a chord with a range of audiences at cinemas. A vibrant and colourful British comedy about a young girl from a Sikh family who desperately wants to play football against the wishes of her traditional parents, the film can be seen to follow the path of other recent British-Asian films such as Bhaji on the Beach, Anita and Me and East Is East in its examination of culture clashes and family traditions. Bend It Like Beckham takes these themes and adds extra ingredients to the dish – football, Shakespearean confusions over identity and sexuality, in-jokes about both British pop culture and the Sikh way of life, and a music soundtrack mixing a range of East/West sounds and musical styles. It is also useful to look at Bend It Like Beckham within a wider context of the British Asian experience in popular culture and media, such as portrayal of Asian culture on television including Ali G, Goodness Gracious Me, families in soaps such as Coronation Street and EastEnders – even the new Walkers Crisps advert has Gary Lineker in a mini-Bollywood musical - and the Asian language, music and fashion that has now flowed into the mainstream. © Film Education 2003 1 Film Synopsis Jesminder (known as Jess) is a Sikh teenager living in Hounslow, who loves to play football. Her parents disapprove, wanting her to settle down, get a job as a lawyer and marry a nice Indian boy.

Bend It Like Beckham (2002)
Bend It Like Beckham Movie Info (2002) An independent-minded young woman discovers the joys of football, much to her family's chagrin, in this upbeat British comedy drama. Jess Bhamra (Parminder Nagra) is an 18-year-old growing up in West London, where her family has taken every effort to stay in touch with its Indian heritage. Jess' father and mother (Anupam Kher and Shaheen Khan) are after their daughter to go to law school, learn to cook a traditional Indian dinner, and settle down with a nice Indian boy -- the latter of which is high on the agenda of her older sister Pinky (Archie Panjabi), who is soon to wed her longtime beau Teetu (Kulvinder Ghir). However, her family is unaware that Jess has a secret passion -- football (or soccer, as it's known in North America). While Jess' enthusiasm for football star David Beckham is obvious, given the fact his photos cover the walls of her room, her parents don't know that in her spare time she likes to play a friendly game in the park with some of the boys in the neighborhood. One day, while Jess and her pals kick the ball around, she meets Jules (Keira Knightley), who is quite impressed with Jess' skills. Jules plays with a local semi-pro women's football British release poster (Wikipedia) team, the Hounslow Harriers, and she thinks Jess has TOMATOMETER what it takes to make the team. Jess knows that her All Critics parents would never approve of their daughter playing football, so she doesn't tell them, and starts spinning an increasingly complex series of lies as she tries to keep 85 up a double life as a student and a footballer.
