@SpockBoy - When "talkies" began, the studios hired voice coaches and taught movie actors enunciation - they all talked that way, even through the 1940's. Some silent screen stars didn't make the switch to talkies. The "accent" isn't quite British, nor is it American... somewhere in between... Its called "Mid-Atlantic."

@drewqq Ahhh I stand corrected.:) Very posh American though. Reminds of those 1930's movies where the New York actresses would over enunciate certain words to sound sophisticated. I honestly don't think Valerie has it. I'm a voice actor myself and she doesn't have the depth (which is no easy feat)

@SpockBoy It's not an English accent--Bankhead was American. It was just an affected manner of speaking that Bankhead adopted, and if you listen to Bankhead's voice, Harper nailed it pretty well here.

@SpockBoy "though"

Terrible English accent. Liked her on TV thought.

NAILED!

@SpaceCowboy641 She actually nailed her,her phonetics and this was based on a lost tape of a voice over. Tallulah really was a bit "tipsy" and she did say all of those things. Oh I adore Tallulah,but this was in the late 60s ? Valarie Harper did a wonderful job.

One of the worst plays I ever saw at the Pasadena Playhouse, and if you've ever seen a lot of plays there, you know that's saying something...I dont know what they did to it before it went to Broadway, but it had to be a major overhaul...brrrrrr
