The women playing the four main characters in Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood at the older and younger ages managed to get eight different accents, not one of which sounded right.
No kidding. I found it interesting that the one who came closest was Fionulla Flanagan, who's Irish.
Sandra Bullock's wasn't awful, but it was Texanish which is more NW Louisiana.
Steel Magnolias had a similar problem. I love watching Olympia Dukakis, but her accent really didn't work.

Yeah, but with her you could at least argue that it had been tempered/mangled by all her years in New York. The others didn't really have an excuse.

The very worst one, though, was Dylan McDermott. I still cringe every time he whines, "C'mon, Shelby, say you'll marry me."
Ok, y'all I need some hivemind advice. I conked my head around 2pm today (slammed my forehead into the freeze door handle as I was standing up from cleaning the fridge), have a good 2 inch mark on my forehead and now I have a fever of 100.6. What is a worrisome temp for an adult? I'm afraid to google.
At least Steel Magnolias was set in Natchitoches. That's more of a general southern than south Louisiana that always gets mangled.
100 sounds a little high to me, but my temp runs a little low.
Is the mark a cut? That could be an infection.
Mostly just a mark. There was a bit of blood at first, but it isn't a gash or anything. Just sore as hell. Crying hurts. Never realized how much you use your forehead when you cry.
