Personally I'm a sucker for an accent. I go to a specific hairdresser because not only is she cute but she is Croatian and has a really sexy accent (not that I normally find east European accents sexy). There used to be a French girl who worked at a shop near me that had an accent to die for. Plus I'm totally in love with Penelope Cruz and her Spanish accent.
I have to say that generally though I tend to like continental European accents rather than anything that comes out of the USA, the UK or Australia, etc. Plus doesn't hurt if the woman with the sexy accent is pretty easy on the eye too! :nod: |

I also strongly resent the fact much of the US feels the Southern accent is evocative of a lack of intelligence. True Southerners have an absolute LOVE of language, and take great pains to communicate with a dramatic flourish for description. I think the movie Steel Magnolias touches on that notion, though Daryl Hannah was the only one to get the Northwest Louisiana/ArkLaTex accent correct. But I digress. :p |
You know, I've never seen Gone With the Wind. People keep mentioning this Scarlet accent, and I have no idea what they mean. :laugh: I'll have to make time for it.
Louie, I agree with you. I think the south is the only place in North America where the flourish with which the English speak is really matched. You've got me wanting to visit some of those areas now, too. Jeesh, there is simply too much of America I need to see! Curse my time and budget constraints. ;) |

That said, I lived in Savannah for 5 years, and I VERY rarely heard anyone speak with a Lowcountry accent. If I did, they were middle aged or older, which leads me to think it's perhaps dying out a bit. There are plenty of people with thick country accents, but it's closer to what I heard living around Atlanta than what I would consider the Scarlett accent. Also, to the people who are saying they don't know what it sounds like: have you ever seen The Golden Girls? It's the way Blanche (played by Rue McLanahan) talks. |

It's also funny to me that Texans are always portrayed to have the cowboy accent. Don't get me wrong, you'll find that in large portions of Texas (it's native to the Plains & desert areas). Here in Austin people are almost accentless... they sound more like Southern Californians. Meanwhile, East Texans definitely have the stereotypical Southern Drawl. |

There's an interesting interview with Rue McLanahan discussing the creation of Blanche's accent. Apparently Rue didn't intend it to be terribly authentic, but rather a sort of over-the-top way of speaking that she though Blanche would adopt as part of the general persona she projects. She also talks about how in the pilot the director told her not to put on an accent and how much she struggled with finding a way to play the character without doing one. I find it all very interesting. Here's the video clip for any interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_DGIgDOg6c |

Personally, I enjoy the good old Oxford British accent on the boys. Spanish or French on girls. |

What accents hasn't Meryl done at this point? :laugh: And look at Abigail Breslin all grown up! I haven't been following her career and didn't know she was still acting professionally. Best of luck to her. |
