I agree. Keira Knightly also played Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, one of many colorful, alcoholic figures in the Devonshire history.

Actually, Knightly’s P&P wasn’t that horrible. I was confusing it with the abominable version of Anna Karenina.

“The Duchess” was also filmed at Chatsworth. That was a pretty good movie, but it made Bess Foster (the third one in the marriage) seem nicer than she sounds if you read the Georgiana biography by Amanda Foreman.
