    Hard to believe that she's 52 years old.

    You know the saying about a rich guy being born on third base and thinking he hit a triple? Woody was born on third base, stole second, and thinks he hit a home run.

    He's still a bald asshole. Watch him come home with an affected British accent when his stint is over. That would be cause for a punch to the face. Send his glasses flying at the very least.

    I take it a real British accent is ok, or do I risk being punched in the face?

    Real British accents are wonderful. In fact, I love them; but I'll give you an example of what I mean. Remember that no talent Madonna? After she married Guy Ritchie, I recall seeing her on some news segment about how happy she was, blah blah. Fake British accent. I'm talkin' really fake. It was awful. She later claimed that she went to a diction coach to improve her pronunciation or some shit. Yeah, well, you can go to every diction coach in the world, lady. That shit ain't never goin' away and it only makes you sound like a pretentious asshole. Brits are generally absolute craftsmen at subjugating British accents in acting (Hugh Laurie is a great example). Americans trying to subjugate a NY accent is like burying a body on your own front lawn in broad daylight thinking no-one will see you.

    Naturally you pick up what's around you after a while. It's just the forced nature of it that irks me. Haha, my childhood friend is from the Bronx and has been living in GA for years. I laugh like hell when she visits because it takes a week or two for the southern to wear off and she reverts to cursing like a sailor in Bronxese.
