From a 1-6-08 NY Times article about Keira Knightley: "Just listening to her is sometimes an adventure, which may be why the Royal National Institute of Blind People recently deemed her voice the second-sexiest in Britain. (No. 1 was the considerably older Sean Connery.)"
Does anyone know about this kind of rating in the USA?
