[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Years ago I read an article or biography that stated her breathy "little girl voice" was an affectation and her real speaking voice was much different. I'm sure anything we could find in a documentary or on YouTube would have the affectation. The distinctive Kennedy accent is theirs alone. The pure Boston accent is much different, as is the upperclass Brahmin. As a wealthy daughter of a high-profile politician, Rose would have been taught elocution to mask anything that would make her sound "common." Katharine Hepburn's is also atypical of what we would hear in Connecticut. [/quote] Agree with all of this. I did hear a recording once of Jackie O's voice when she was speaking more naturally, and it did sound quite different. The accent was similar, but it lost that "breathy" quality. [/quote]
