Keira knightley’s first role in a Hollywood blockbuster came in 1999, when she was cast as Sabé, Queen Padmé Amidala’s decoy in the highly anticipated blockbuster Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. Knightley scored the role, which was kept a secret during the lead-up to the film’s release, due to her resemblance to American actress Natalie Portman, who played Queen Padmé Amidala.
