Why Old Hollywood Actors Talked Funny
If you’ve ever watched an old movie from the ‘30s or ‘40s, you’ve likely noticed actors like Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn speaking with an unusual accent. It sounds very deliberate and almost, but not quite, British. This “trans-Atlantic accent” wasn’t the norm: It was a silver screen phenomenon. So where did it come from? At the time actors were not used to speaking on camera, and some struggled with it. Realizing they needed help, many turned to elocution lessons to build their confidence and screen presence. Hollywood loved the accent because it was neutral and crossed class lines, allowing both rich and poor viewers to relate to the characters. The trans- Atlantic accent eventually became a part of film language, but audiences then — unlike now — understood it was an act. WHY DID OLD MOVIE ACTORS TALK LIKE THAT? UNDERSTANDING THE TRANS-ATLANTIC ACCENT
If you want to experience the speaking style, turn to classic movies like “Bringing Up Baby” and “Holiday.”
