HAHAHA imagine if she was alive today all the cool shit she'd do.
-
I don't think her accent's so bad. It's actually kind of charming!
-
@archer1949 She would have been GREAT in screwball comedies. I would have loved to have seen what guys like Ernst Lubitsch, Howard Hawks and Billy Wilder could have done for her.

You can KINDA hear her accent peek out here and there ("Mah Faddah eva did...") but it's not bad at all. Certainly NOT Lina Lamont! Her voice is actually quite husky and versatile. With a little training and practice she could have become big.
From what I read, Paramount really scuttled her career. They thought her personal problems a liability and fed her to the wolves.
Such a shame.

@TinaTwice It was also due to the fact that she was uneducated. If you read interviews with her, it's a lot of improper grammar and whatnot. Of course, I think most people (including myself) thought it added to her charm. It was almost like a foreign accent which most of us find very peculiar in a brilliant manner. The tonal quality of her voice was so unique and rich...She was so beautiful and inspiring to people like me (and obviously yourself) who appreciate such raw talent.

What a spirit! And she had a lovely voice. I don't hear her Brooklyn accent. She sounds east-coast though, with a bit of a high-toned lilt:)
-
Just show the entire gay bar scene in this movie.
-
Love her hair in this - and I don't hear any Brooklyn accent either.
-
Those eyes !!
-
She has a standard American accent....nothing Brooklyn-esse about it.

It wasn't the audiences or the studio that didn't like her voice - it was Clara. The fact that she didn't try to gloss over her Brooklyn heritage had already made her a social pariah among the Hollywood elite, and she was terrified that her audience would turn against her too if they heard her voice. She had a full-blown phobia of the microphone that eventually culminated in a nervous breakdown.
