Lee Remick 1959

[astralagosto]

I love how New Englanders in the old days used to speak with a Mid-Atlantic accent -

a remnant of the British accent Americans used to speak when we were an English colony. It continued all thru the centuries until 1945 when I heard the accent started dying because the new generations didn't speak like that anymore. I've heard World War II had something to do with it.

@astralagosto No. Lloyd Grossman was born, and they were ashamed. Amen

[astralagosto]

@chanctonbury63 Who's Lloyd Grossman?

[chanctonbury63]

@astralagosto Type Lloyd Grossman into the search box at top.

[astralagosto]

@chanctonbury63 I just saw him. He sounds weird. Is he English? I read in some of the comments that he was an American. One comment said that when he says one phrase, it sounds English. The other, American. The third, Australian. He tries too much to sound English and jumbles the process. He should listen to English accents well before starting to imitate them.

[chanctonbury63]

@astralagosto lloyd Grossman is just strange. I think hes from Boston. He seems to have carved out a niche here introducing crappy TV programmes. He also has a range of sauces (yes really!). You can find them in some supermarkets.

@chanctonbury63 He is strange. You're right that he carved out a niche introducing crappy TV programs. Incredible that he has a range of sauces. Sorry about the late reply. I'm busy at work sometimes and can't check Youtube often.

[chanctonbury63]

@astralagosto Anyway, whilst I know that there is no such thing as one American accent, a lot of it sounds a little like the dialects you can still hear in S Central and SW England today. N Ireland too (work that one!!)

[astralagosto]

@chanctonbury63 Hi chanctonbury, it makes sense that the Mid-Atlantic or New England accent would sound like the dialects you hear in South Central and SW England today. The original colonists were of English stock so it makes sense that there accents would remain in New England since colonial times until 1945.

[MsThunderroad]

FBI stooge, like most people of her generation working in Hollywood.

bashing marilyn is how she made herself a name.

[phlashba]

Stunning.

[EasyCompanyAirborne]

I prefer the American ladies to the English ones. I prefer Lee Remick to either Victoria Beckham or Amy Winehouse.

[swanningaround]

What an absolute beauty. How we miss real ladies like this now.

[KateCful]

She's not your grandma cali7texas! Believe me I know ;)

[cali7texas]

thats my grandma :)

[calalilygirl]

You had a beautiful one.

[calalilygirl]

WOW! You're lucky. Lee Remick was ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL, but i thought especially stunning in ANATOMY of A MURDER and the way she looked in this clip here. Regards, calalilygirl

[calalilygirl]

Apparently not

[CarpoolKathleen]

I absolutely love her! Her voice sounds higher than I would imagine it being in real life...but she was young, and maybe nervous.

[buck5134]

She was a gift we had for all to short a time, but we did have her for a little while didn't we?

[teden20]

I think Lee Remick is the most lovely woman I've ever seen. She appears so very, very appealling. She's different and unequaled.

[pdoll96]

I loved Lee Remick. She was beautiful and refined and such a fine actress. Sad to lose her as early as we did.

[stevensm100]

GOD BLESS LEE

[143AC]

She was a wonderful and natural talent..it was a sad

loss when she passed away years ago.

[takharov]

An absolute goddess in all ways. A sad loss.

[gqjohnny]

For a girl from New England, she played a lot of southern gals in her career. What a talented and beautiful woman she was. Yes, sadly missed.

[gregorvonkallahann]

If anyone thinks she's trying to sound British here, please keep in mind that Lee was from Qunicy, MA, and had a New England accent. She sounds more like NEW England than Olde England in this clip.

[calalilygirl]

she seems to be trying to sound British here

[carolineorchange21]

Remick was from New England - Massachusetts - I expect being in the UK would bring out her natural speaking patterns a bit more than were she being interviewed in the US by an American reporter. Just a thought.

[calalilygirl]

I'm from New England and our accent is nothing like the British accent. She was from Quincy Mass. The Mass accent really doesn't sound British at all.

[calalilygirl]

I've listened to this a couple times more and i think i'm hearing a bit of New England--sounds something like John F. Kennedy.

[calalilygirl]

The more i listen i hear that too at times

[gregorvonkallahann]

The New England accent DOES have more in common w/ standard Brit. pronunciation than many other American speech patterns. The pronunciation of "aunt" is but one example. I think if I were to spend time over there my own speech would start to blend. In any event Lee's speech here seems more natural say, than Madonna's recent affectations.

[violetta223]

So beautiful and a fantastic actress.

Sadly missed.
