Jennifer Beals' Chicago accent


Is HORRIBLE! I watched all episodes of "The L Word" so I'm very familiar with her natural dialect. In Chicago Code I could tell she was trying to talk with a different dialect but it sure wasn't any Chicago dialect I've ever heard! (I'm a Chicago senior native).

It sounded like East coast NYC area accent. Very strange.

Her accent may have been wonky but her overall performance was terrific. That final scene with her picking up that young salesman from Pittsburgh was touching and a great closing note.
