49th Anniversary of JFK Assassination

If JFK could regenerate who would be playing him now?

Barack Obama.

I don't think Obama could get the accent down. Mark Wahlberg does the Boston thing pretty good.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Yes but Obama's wife has all the Jackie styles down very well.

 

[Tora Ziyal]

Eh. Michelle is attractive and well-dressed, but she's no Jackie.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I don't think Obama could get the accent down. Mark Wahlberg does the Boston thing pretty good.

The upper-class New England accent that the Kennedys spoke is VERY difficult to imitate. In that Twilight Zone I linked to, Lane Smith (God rest his soul ) and Andrew Robinson absolutely nailed it. But not too many actors could do that.

Need to find an actress who can nail the "lockjaw" accent Jackie had. Kate Mulgrew seems like she could do it, but I'm afraid the years have moved her pass the Jackie part.
