Keira Knightly

A stunning and talented actress, Keira Knightly had a bit of a rocky beginning to her acting career. While she started working towards it from a very young age, her major breakthrough wasn’t until 2003, when she got a role in the now-famous movie Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Even though she played in a successful movie just a year prior, Pirates of the Caribbean is the franchise that really got her name on the Hollywood map. Since then she went on to play in many roles in movies and some TV shows as well.

Jennifer Lawrence may be a major movie star today, but before she made her Hollywood breakthrough in 2010 with the movie Winter’s Bone, Jennifer Lawrence went through ups and downs in her acting career. While Winter’s Bone did become a success, Lawrence wasn’t dubbed a major movie star until she starred in The Hunger Games movie trilogy in 2012, even after playing in the X-Men movies. Her acting has always been impressive, and after The Hunger Games was released, Lawrence established her place in Hollywood stardom, going on from there to work on large-scale projects and develop her career.
