[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 62745, member: 1991"] Now THAT would be an achievement - so few non-Aussies can get the accent right. Meryl Streep got it perfectly in that movie ("Evil Angels", in Australia) because Lindy Chamberlain actually didn't have a pure Aussie accent at the time, she had a trace of Kiwi in it too. And Streep captured it perfectly. That Simpsons episode - missed it by a mile. AND they made our Prime Minister look too handsome. Maybe the reality would have been too unbelievable? Eyebrows like wild rats, thick rimmed glasses, the beginning of a comb-over; but our current Leader of the Opposition looks like the Milky Bar Kid (actually what his political opponents call him - that's about the worst they can do). difficult child 3 was reading aloud to me tonight. He reads dialogue with a US accent, because so much of what he watches (movies, TV) is subtitled, plus he hears the accent as he reads the dialogue. I think I'll have to get him watching more British comedy. Marg [/QUOTE]
