[QUOTE="donna723, post: 341797, member: 1883"] That's it, Marg! It was "A Cry in the Dark" ... I'm a little slow today! They would have a hard time pinning down an "American" accent because there are so many regional things, and even not all southern accents are the same. After living in the south for so long, my Missouri cousins sound strangely 'Midwest' to me, although many years ago I probably sounded like that myself. And there's not one standard "southern" accent either. People in Tennessee sound completely different from my sister in law's family in S. Carolina, and those in Texas or Louisana have their own styles too. And I can almost tell just by listening if someone is from the Atlanta, GA area. And after living in the South for so long, I can tell immediately if an actor is trying to 'fake' a southern accent ... except for maybe Meryl Streep and she's the undisputed queen of accents!
