As it happens, my wife, who is an extraordinarily lovely woman, is "less ample. More of a Grace Kelly/Audrey Hepburn type than a Maureen O'Hara/Sophia Loren type.
But, boy, does it bug the bejesus out of her, when a Maureen O'Hara (or Jennifer Ehle) type comes on the screen and I start paying attention!
She know I love her, and am ever-faithful, but she still gets just a tiny bit jealous.

I know it's heresy to say this, but I kinda liked Keira Knightley in the part, too. Didn't like the 2005 film as much as the 1995 TV serial, but that's a long way from saying I didn't like it at all.
I preferred Jennifer Ehle, and not just because of her rack. But I liked Keira Knightley, too.
Of course, this is a long way off the topic of why fanfic writers strive to make Darcy and Lizzy better than they are.
