An interview with Bronx-born filmmaker Heather Quinlan, who is working on a documentary about the gradual disappearance of the classic New Yawk accent. Fascinating.
My accent is pretty thick, and even though I think it makes me feel dumb at times, I hope I never lose it.
Looking forward to seeing the film.
Heard an interview with Darren Aronofsky on NPR the other day and was strangely happy to note that traces of his New York accent have survived both his Harvard years and his subsequent directorial success/acclaim.
I grew up in New Jersey and have lived in Colorado for 13 years. Anytime I’m back in NYC, oh my… do I hear that accent all the more! :)
This will be an interesting documentary for sure.
