A local weathergirl here in DC still uses the Mid-Atlantic accent. WMAL.

I’ve heard it called “Locust Valley Lockjaw” or “Larchmont Lockjaw”.
I’ve never heard of a “Mid-Atlantic Accent”.

In Washington, D.C., natives, black and white, spoke this way for many decades. A hint more Southern than the Hollywood accent.

Best of EnemiesI watched this last night. Is that what WFB's accent would be described as?

LOVE Cooper's accent, especially in North by Northwest.
How would one describe the Millennials' blather today? Dirty snowflake?

Cary Grant is a pretty poor example. He spoke with a near Cockney accent. Katherine Hepburn, indeed, spoke with the famed mid-Atlantic accent which means between England and America, not the region of NY/NJ/Delaware, etc.

I have noticed that some people from Virginia and Washington D.C. area say “woik” instead of “work”.

Katharine Hepburn or close facsimile.

Totally phony accent which is most often heard in period epics and need to give the Elite a voice distinct from the plebes.
Served to mask horrendous regional accents as well. Poster child for this is this gentlemen:
New York born Jay Robinson, the Emperor Caligula in The Robe.
I'd also throw Lauren Bacall of the Bronx in there as well as East Harlem's Burt "I Was Never A Nice Guy" Lancaster.

I have long wondered about what I call “The 1930s Hollywood Accent”!

But how about all those TV folks and East Coast elites who now have affected the British POSH accent?
