‘Keira stayed Knightley in our cottage'
Ben Turner3/ 9/2008
ACTRESS and Hollywood superstar Keira Knightley stayed near the village of Longnor while filming her latest costume drama, it was revealed this week.
The British actress stayed in Hurdlow Grange Cottage during some of the filming of The Duchess – partly set in the Staffordshire countryside – which opens in cinemas on Friday (September 5).
Her happy stay was revealed at the weekend as the 23-year-old star joined fellow cast members including Ralph Fiennes in promoting the costume drama, about 18th century socialite Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire, who has been compared to Princess Diana.
Paul White, who runs Hurdlow Grange Cottage, said: "She was lovely – I won’t have a bad word said about her. She got up really early every day. My wife cooked for her every night, she was on a strict diet of no sugar or caffeine. but she certainly ate a lot!"
