Fair Lady Keira Knightley

Keira Knightley has been confirmed as the lead in 'My Fair Lady'.

After months of speculation, the British actress - who is known for her glowing performances in period blockbusters 'Atonement' and 'Pride and Prejudice' - will definitely play Eliza Doolittle in the movie remake of the 1964 play 'Pygmalion' by George Cukor.

The 24-year-old star will portray the lead character's journey from rags-to-riches in the big-screen adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's book.

The role was originally played by legendary actress Audrey Hepburn, while Julie Andrews appeared in the stage show.

Emma Thompson is writing the script and James Bond actor Daniel Craig is rumoured to be portraying Higgins. The film will be directed by 'Slumdog Millionaire' filmmaker Danny Boyle.

It is believed Keira has been practicing her singing voice for a year in the hope she would secure the role.
