Natalie Portman was seriously miscast as Jackie Kennedy, but I can't think of an actress who could have done justice to her character. Portman certainly did not.

Gemma Arterton, her voice is soft. Or Jocelyn Donahue

Hmm. I will go with Katie Holmes IF she could pull it off. I would like to see a screen test/audition first. I wonder WHO did audition for the role.

I like Portman. But I see HER on the screen, not Jackie. If you know what I mean. It is a tough role to play. Her POTUS husband was actually an easier role to cast in movies about him.

I would agree with the Katie Holmes crowd. Not necessarily a fan, but she's the only person I can think of that remotely looks like Jackie. However, she would never get cast in an Oscar bait movie such as this.

After seeing Natalie Portman's portrayal, I thought about this and I'm not up on American actresses, but I thought maybe Juliana Margulies from the Good Wife, she has the stature and looks to pull it off.
