The actress - who has long been derided over her slender physique - says that the absence of an accurate and wide representation of various female forms in the press partly stems down to lazy photography. But our society is so photographic now, it becomes more difficult to see all of those different varieties of shape. In September, Knightley posed topless for Interview magazine , photographed by Patrick Demarchelier, wearing nothing but a pair of gloves and wide-legged trousers. She had previously complained that her breasts had been digitally enhanced for a King Arthur film poster, as well as in a Chanel fashion advert.
Celebrities do, too. Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas Howard get mistaken for each other all the time. Fans are convinced others share such a resemblance that they must have been separated at birth. The "Modern Family" and "Ted" actresses say they get mistaken for the other all the time. Upon meeting each other in December at a Nylon party, the two decided they'd pretend to be each other in public. Short, long, curly, or straight hair, Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman look strikingly similar no matter how you pair them.
However, what is unknown to theatre-goers is that the drama is based on a real-life, 19th-century scandal in Scotland. Lillian Hellman, the American who wrote the play in the s, was told of the Scottish case by her lover, Dashiell Hammett, author of The Maltese Falcon. Hellman switched the case from Edinburgh's New Town to New England but retained the basic elements of a career ruined by lies and gossip. The play, which opens this week at the Comedy Theatre in London, is about two women, Karen Wright Knightley and Martha Dobie Elisabeth Moss from hit TV series Mad Men , who run a small boarding school and have their careers and reputations ruined after a pupil accuses them of having a lesbian affair. Consequently, Dobie kills herself.
