My My! Umm... maybe because she photographs nicely? At least this reviewer thought so. From an earlier post...

Knightley's 'Duchess' Treat
By John Anderson
Washington Post
Friday, September 26, 2008

"Directed by the virtually unheralded Saul Dibb, "The Duchess" shows that if Dibb knows nothing else, he knows what he's got in star Keira Knightley: Photographed lingeringly, lovingly and in fantastic hats, Knightley seems to get as much close-up time in "The Duchess" as Bette Davis got her entire career. We're not complaining"

"Like something out of the darkest side of Jane Austen, "The Duchess" examines the mores and rituals of a certain stratum and era of British society, and marriage is its motor. It probably needn't be said that Knightley was far more interesting in "Pride and Prejudice" (if for no other large reason than Austen wrote the story), but she is magnetic in "The Duchess." She can also act"

I often wonder whether the director's couch is still prevalent or whether I am so removed from this kind of world that my feeble intellect is simply incapable of embracing this kind of person's true appeal and their more than subtle artistic gifts...
That pout is more than a subtle artistic gift - it is her whole career! Look at the sort of company she keeps - arm-in-arm, no less! Birds of a feather - this one's for you Mooseketeer!

Oh Goodie ! 2 for the price of 1 ! My lucky day.


I have to admit I did not seen "atonement" which was supposed to be very good simply because Knightley was in it , but the reviews were excellent so I wondered whether I could have put up with it and given her a chance.


On the male side I find Orlando Bloom just as appealing. He has the same Thespian gift, displays the same range of emotions , the same gravitas as Ms Knightley.

You and I are obviously impervious to the delights of some of the younger generation of actors. Does it say something about us ?



I have to admit though I do love K Knightley's hairsyle in the Chanel advert. Very classic. Sadly it does not quite make up for her deficiencies in other departments.

I don't really care either. Julia Roberts is the celeb that comes to mind. I don't enjoy her films but I'm obviously in the minority.

P-Diddy...this clown tries to pass himself off as some badass gangster from NYC, when he hails from a upper middle class family. Every time this idiot opens his mouth he's an embarrassment. He actually had the audacity to refer to himself as the Black Sinatra. More like something Sinatra may have stepped in once and wiped on the curb.
