Bridget Fonda with a British accent
I live in the UK and had wondered why on earth they would cast an American as Mandy Rice-Davies in Scandal. That is, until I watched the film on dvd the other day. I'd have to say Bridget hits the tone and accent perfectly. I have always liked her, but she still surprised me in this one and I am really, really impressed. Not many American actors who have tried to speak with a British accent came across very convincingly. One of the few other people who pulled it off has been Renee Zellweger(sp?) as Bridget Jones. She was fine, too, but it was such a posh accent and she almost overdid it. I was more convinced by Bridget Fonda. That woman is good!
