[HPFGU-OTChatter] British Accents (WAS: the casting of Emma Thompson as trelawney)

[Mrs.) Lee Storm (God Is The Healing Force]

With all the talk of Americans trying to do the British accent, I have seen
some of the most horrible attempts from British and other UK folk to do
American accents.

Whenever I watch "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman," I have to ask why in the world
did Jane Seymour get the part?  And that's not the first time she's
struggled doing an American accent.

Another who comes to mind is Roma Downey...almost passable, but not really.

So, guess it works both ways...some can do it, some can't...no matter which
side of the pond one is on. <Grin>

Cheers,

Lee :-)
