Doesn’t it just jar your preserves when Hollywood thinks we all sound like Scarlett O’Hara? I’d also like to let them know we’ve had air-conditioning for about seven decades (what was with all those sweaty indoor scenes of Matthew McConaughey in “A Time to Kill?), we don’t live on plantations, and, with the possible exception of a few re-enactors, none of us refer to it as “the War of Northern Aggression.”

Sometimes, even actors born in the South do exaggerated, unrealistic accents in movies (ie: Georgia native Julia Roberts in “Steel Magnolias”), probably because they “unlearned” our melodic accents, much to their detriment.

Below is my list of the 15 worst accents in movie history. Which ones would you add? Email kkazek@al.com .
