Betty Lynn's character in Cheaper By The Dozen is a sweetie. A shame she ruined it with a fake Southern accent. Very rare to find an actor that can actually produce a real sounding Southern accent. Joanna Moore's accent is real, Betty's is not. Lynn's movie character is a darling but her talk grates on a true Southerner's spine. However, I do give her credit for trying. She sweet talks Clifton Webb into dancing with her and makes him blush with her fake fawning (you know the routine, young lady sweet talks old man).
Side note - Frances Bavier's accent in the second episode, The Manhunt, is an abomination making the entire CSA roll over in their graves.
