Saturday, April 15, 2006
Keira Knightley makes us sick. Not only is she beautiful and talented, she's also caring too.
The British actress has decided to donate the dress she wore to this years Oscars ceremony to help raise cash for Oxfam.
The gorgeous gown is currently on display in a west London branch of Oxfam before being auctioned on eBay starting on 21 April and ending 30 April.
The cash raised will go towards the East African food crisis appeal.
"This is such an amazing dress and I am really pleased to be able to donate it to Oxfam," the 21-year-old actress says.
"I have seen the TV reports on the horrendous drought in East Africa and I know how desperate things have become, so I am happy to be able to do something to help," she adds.
"We hope the public will get behind this auction so that it is a great success," Oxfam's director for East Africa, Paul Smith-Lomas, says.
Keira was nominated for the Best Actress award at this year's Oscars for her role in the remake of "Pride and Prejudice".
