Does she have an English accent?

I just got around to looking up all the Richardson girls to see if they're related (apparently, Miranda Richardson wasn't one of them). I notice both she and her sister Natasha were born in England, and it seems like everything I've seen Natasha in, she had an accent. But I've never seen Joely with an accent.

So, has Joely just never taken a role where she used her accent? Does she have one and is covering it up?

What about Natasha? Did Natasha fake the English accent I always remember her having?

Both ladies were born and raised in England. English accents......

Best thing to do is listen to interviews:

So Joely Richardson...

Her Grandfather - Michael Redgrave (Actor)
Her Grandmother - Rachael Kempson (Actress)
Her Mother (Michael and Rachael's Daughter)- Vanessa Redgrave (Actor)
Her Father - Tony Richardson (Director)

The above are some of the Best of British Cinema and Theatre. In fact, they have been named 'British Theatrical Royalty'.

And it goes on ..

Her Aunt - Lynn Redgrave (Actor)
Her Uncle - Corin Redgrave (Actor)
Her Sister - Natasha Richardson (Actor)

Sadly these great actors died.
If you don't think you know any of the names above copy and paste them into the search bar. You probably have seen them before or at least have heard of the film.
Vanessa Redgrave's autobiography is a good read and can be bought on ebay pretty cheap.

Hope thats cleared it all up!
