Keira Will Play The Duchess

August 3, 2007

Keira went casual in an adorable green Topshop dress while strolling through London yesterday. A few months back Keira claimed that she may quit acting entirely but if that's the case, it won't happen anytime soon. In addition to the upcoming The Best Time of Our Lives, Keira has just signed on to do another project called The Duchess. In the film, Keira will play Georgiana, the Duchess of Devonshire, who has been compared to Princess Diana. Looks like Keira will have to play dress up in fancy gowns and tight corsets like she did in Pirates of the Caribbean.

It's not because she doesnt have make up on nor a brushing done that she looks dirty. I think none of you girls would look as pretty as she is within your crazy make up!!

her jaw sticks out! ever seen love actually? thats one of the worse parts of the jaw sticking out. i guess she can be very pretty but recently she has done the whole grungy look. her hair doesnt look washed and she looks kinda... hard to say with words i guess. anyway, i think she is a great actress but a bit on the skinny side. i am a fann actually but even a fan can see the flaws!

She can do no wrong in my book. The movies she has done so far are great and I like that she doesn't take things seriously.

I really do not like Keira. I think she's nasty and dirty and not at all attractive. Seems like a bitch too.

wait! is that a smile trying to come out?! oh, no... that was probably a quick thought of something naughty that raised her had like Seabiscuit!

I don't think she looks cute here. She looks like a boy.

I like her dress but she should do something with her hair!

It must be so nice to sit around on your computer in your frumpy pajamas and criticize a girl for leaving the house looking like a *gasp* normal person?? Were you expecting a Vogue magazine photo shoot with hairdressers and spotlights everywhere? Heh. Maybe you’re just kind of dumb? Either way, great job on being shallow and ridiculous!

I'm glad she's earning her way into better roles. Will be on InMdb.com waiting for details on Gorgianna...

LOVE Ms. Knightley. I think she's been in some phonomenally foul films (King Arthur anyone?) and was promoted too early, but if you Netflix 'BBC's Dr. Zhivago' you will see that she is a formidable talent and a great beauty too.

about the breasts thing, depending on what she wears gives her an androgynous look wichs is beautiful too

I'm still not liking the hair but I would agree with others that she is not looking as skinny as she has in the past which is good to see. I know she must get tired of the paps following her around but she always looks scowly when they take her picture. However, I'll take her scowly face and all, over pictures of Britney any day.

Oh I can't wait for this movie. I love period dramas esp ones about royalty. ... lol makes sense since I am a Social Studies Ed major :)

Msmoney23, this flat-chested lady will try not to take too much offense (though as I read your comment, it's expected I'd take at least some... and I do). Seriously folks, enough with the obsession with Kiera's chest size. I've read a number of comments that criticize her for being flat-chested; how bizarre. A C-sized chest is not a prerequisite to beauty.

She doesn't need wear bra. She has no boobs! I don't think she's a greeeat actress, to me she's very normal. I loved Pride & Prejudice but I don't think she deserved be nominated to Golden Globe. Anyway, I really liked her outfit here, though.

so she has a case of b!tchf@ce, big deal [i read about b-face on bella sugar i believe haha]...and i think the whole looking dirty thing is kinda what johnny depp does with wearing "homeless man" clothes...they're both trying to take the focus off how attractive they are. at least that's what i think.

katygirlthing 5 years 42 weeks

how scarily thin is she? she has no boobs, you can clearly tell because shes not even wearing a bra! and she has no shape!! and her hair! okay the bedhead looks is in, but its only a look! not to actually get out of bed and not brush or wash her hair!!
