Anybody Else Put Off By Her Voice?


I like a lot of her films (and love a few, too), but I do struggle at times with her voice, especially as she got older.

To me, her voice, especially if her character was trying to be deceptive, goes into a kind of sing-song, almost child-like sound, kind of high, but not really musical or melodious. I don't know if that makes any sense.

Anybody else get what I mean?

That affected voice in MR. SKEFFINGTON DID grate on my nerves!

Even larks and katydids are, supposed by some, to dream
