I wish they would use more real Southerners' accents to get a good Southern accent right. Aside from demonizing the South, most Hollywood actors couldn't conjure up a real Southern accent if their lives depended on it.

Paul Newman did a great southern accent. Ever see "Cool Hand Luke?" Also Strother Martin in the same movie had a very convincing southern accent. Both of those actors were originally from Ohio (although southern accents are common in the south part of that state.)

His wife, Joanne Woodward is a southerner.
