Keira Knightley Hits “The Duchess” Set

The movie’s theme is told to be: “A chronicle of the life of 18th century aristocrat Georgiana, duchess of Devonshire, an ancestor of Princess Diana who was alternately celebrated and reviled for her extravagant political and personal lives.”
In the flick, which is adapted from Amanda Foreman’s biography of the duchess, the 22-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean actress plays the lead role of Georgiana Cavendish.
Scheduled for release in 2008, other notable names co-starring with Keira include Ralph Fiennes and Dominic Cooper.

Keira Knightley continued to keep busy filming scenes for her upcoming film, The Duchess, on Thursday in Bath, England.
Working with co-star Dominic Cooper, Keira’s latest movie is based on the life of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, who often stayed in Bath.
Meanwhile, the Pirates of the Caribbean babe recently spoke to press about her desire to be more like her The Edge Of Love co-star, Sienna Miller.
Speaking about intrusive paparazzi, Keira told, “Sienna is far more hounded than I am, and the paparazzi are far more abusive to her. She faces them head on, and isn’t afraid to tell them to f**k off. I haven’t found a way to do that.”
And aggressive behavior isn’t the only thing about Sienna that impresses Keira. The 24-year-old starlet tells, “She has such great personal style. Every bl***y morning she’d turn up at 5.30 am in a little something she had just thrown on. I can’t do that.”
