Jules Paxton
As Jules Paxton in Bend it Like Beckham, Keira Knightley broke out in a great role which was not standard “best friend” fare. She was spunky, athletic and despite not having top billing, was the “Alpha Female” in the flick. We are not sure if anyone from this movie will get inducted into the Hall of Fame, but if one does, we suspect it will Knightley.
