Does anyone really sound like scarlett o'hara?

Question

does anyone actually have southern accents like the in the movies? or is that just pretend?

the southern people i know don't sound like that.

Answer 1

I have a cousin who is in her 60's and she does.  She lives on the North Carolina Virginia boarder (Warren County).  I don't know how to prove it to you other than giving you her telephone number and obviously I'm not going to do that!! :)

Most of the women who talk like that are dying off and the younger generations have lost/are losing that accent because too often when people hear a southern accent they immediately think 'redneck'.

My cousin doesn't say 'fiddle dee dee' but she does say 'I declare' with that Scarlett lilt.

Answer 2

I believe that was a fake Georgia accent.
