It's funny you should say that, I was reading an interview with Keira in SKY magazine last year or '03, and she remarked that when she was fully costumed in The Phantom Menace, her mother who was there as her chaperone couldn't differentiate between herself and Natalie Portman such was the similarity.
Anyway, my take on the Keira 'phenomena' is that she's attractive enough, but as soon as I saw her interviewed for the first time, she didn't come across as being the sharpest tool in the box, and her accent didn't help either. That kind of put me off her.
For a rather lush accent, may I suggest Vivienne Kubrick (Stanley's daughter), watch the documentary she made on 'The Shining' DVD, with commentary on.
