(100% Natalie-Portman.net) - Skrew posted that the girl who played Sabe (the Decoy in TPM) and who looks very similar to Natalie is an actress named Kiera Knightly. According to May 27's London Daily Variety, Robin Gurland states "One of the hardest roles to cast was that of Sabe', the handmaiden that fills in for the Queen when she is in hiding. Originally we were going to use a stand in, but that was before we found a girl by the name of Kiera Knightley. She was only fourteen at the time of principle photography, two years younger than Natalie Portman but nevertheless the resemblance is striking. I wouldn't be surprised if she fools quite a few of the fans."
