Marc Malkin
Summary
Netflix's upcoming drama series "Kennedy" covers the political dynasty from 1931 to 1944, but stars Nick Robinson and Laura Donnelly have made the deliberate choice to avoid using the family's signature Boston accent. Robinson explains the accent has evolved over time from a mid-Atlantic upper-class sound, and the actors opted for a more subtle approach rather than a heavy dialect performance.
