american accents - from the 20s/30s etc
4 Answers
there is a certain type of american accent that some actors adopt when playing someone from that kind of era...particularly women
its hard to describe... the actress playing amelia earhart in 'Night at the museum 2' does it, Phoebe from Friends does it when she meets her boyfirends parents, and Frasier Crane seems to have it a bit too
i 'think' bette davis had it too
what is it? has it a name? is it from a certain town...? if so where has it gone..?
thanks
