Jennifer Jason Leigh's Accent


Jennifer Jason Leigh's accent performance should be used in acting classes. She did a fantastic job. Being from Alabama, I am often annoyed by terrible Southern accents in movies. She killed it, though. She could have used some running classes. Her first scene running around the track was a little cringe-worthy.

She kills someone in a new film? Or she'll kill the film with a terrible performance?

She was absolutely amazing in H8tful. She really has perfected the southern accent. Best performance I've seen in years.

Funny you say that, my brother made fun of her doing a bad accent. He hasn't even been to the south!

She had that accent in The Hitcher (1986) too.

I'm from SE Texas, and her accent wasn't that great, but it was a helluva lot better than Julia Roberts ridiculous accent in "Charlie Wilson's War." She did the exact, same one in "Steel Magnolias" like she was in GWTW!

I agree on that

Yeah, she does run funny.
