Last week I watched Anna Karenina and she's had a frightful end.

Today I'm watching The Duchess.

Then there was Atonement...

Don't forget Love Actually where she was secretly in love with her new husband's best friend. Hardly a recipe for success...

Pride and Prejudice?

She wasn't! He got a pity kiss on the cheek!

Oh! Maybe I've misremembered then Blush

Was she married to Orlando Bloom? I didn’t watch the last few films so don’t know if that turned out well.

She gets Mr Darcy!

Well, Will could only visit Elizabeth every ten years. It sounds like the perfect marriage to me Grin

And then Boris wrecked that scene forever!

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 31/07/2021 00:04

I'd rather be her with unhappy marriages than be Sean Bean who generally dies in the most stomach churning ways.

CallMeNutribullet · 31/07/2021 00:09

Wasn't she about 15 in Love Actually? Creepy

BastardMonkfish · 31/07/2021 02:22

I liked Matthew MacFadyen's Darcy more than Colin Firths!

No she wasn't! He was in love with her and she was flattered.

The best acting I ever saw from Keira Knightley was in The Imitation Game, where the unhappy ending was nothing to do with marriage at all and not her unhappy ending.

SmidgenofaPigeon · 31/07/2021 07:05

Don’t forget Everest where her husband dies going up that. She was pregnant at the time as well.

Exactly, it was the better, hotter one!

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 31/07/2021 08:53

She kept her husband in the Edge Of Love.

He was a total nutbag who tried to shoot her bestie but he still hung around.

BrozTito · 31/07/2021 08:54

Her Dr zhivago went well from my pov, i hated lara and yuri

BrozTito · 31/07/2021 08:57

I feel bad about all the years i slagged off her chin acting because she seems fine in interviews.
