Dubbed Over
Maybe those of you who have the DVD with the commentary can tell me. I recently caught this one on TV, and my husband and I both think that Andie MacDowell's voice was dubbed. Is this true?
shareLook at the trivia section. It says her voice were dubbed over by Glenn Closes voice.
shareI read somewhere a few years ago that Andie's southern accent was so strong they had her voice dubbed.

The whole thing with Andie McDowell and GREYSTOKE is one of those "what were they thinking when they hired her" scenarios (other than the possible casting couch element). McDowell had been primarily a model up to that point and surely they had her read before casting her - she certainly wasn't trained enough to mask her South Carolina drawl to do a convincing British accent. I always believed that they planned to dub her all along, and just cast her for her looks, but heaven knows there were good-looking British actresses who could be cast.share
McDowell is no great actress but I do give her credit for overcoming this and establishing some kind of career. One of her roles after GREYSTOKE was in the Brat Pack movie ST. ELMO'S FIRE, and she's one of the few good performances in that film, albeit in a small role.
