I don't know much about Texas and Texans
but after watching the E! True Hollywood
Story about Facts of Life, I didn't
detect any accent from Lisa Whelchel.
Don't "some" Texans have an accent?

Note: This probably should have been
under the post of E! Hollywood Story,
but we needed a new post, at least I
think so!

Lisa actually took dramatic speech lessons when she was first in Hollywood to help tone down her accent. But there is a slight twang in her voice.
