#looks of southern midwestern or eastern accents that really don't exist anymore

Watching the bloopers from 1930s-1940s Hollywood movies make me laugh so hard. The way all the actors automatically drop the fake-ass transatlantic accent and go back to their natural American accent when they mess-up is simply so funny.
I find myself really loving the idea of Alfred using the transatlantic accent throughout the 40s. Until one day he shows up to Europe in like the mid-50s and half the European nations- many of whom really didn't "know him" pre-1940s- are shocked to find out that he was faking his accent the entire time they have known him
