May 2, 2008 · Yes, she did not have a Southern accent . . . that's because her character didn't come from The South. She came from the Ozarks. When last I checked, Arkansas, Missouri, and parts of Oklahoma are not The South. And as far as a Hillbilly accent goes, Monroe's as Cheri was impeccable.

Monroe disappears into her role, with her signature blonde hair dyed a darker shade, her famous low, breathy voice exchanged for a high-pitched Ozark accent, her skin tone made chalky with makeup (Chérie works nights and hardly sees the sun), her singing warbl...

It's disturbing to watch her give in to Beau's advances because he's asked for the first time if he can kiss her, and because he's the first person to accept her history with other men (apparently, it "averages out" because he has never had a girlfriend).
