THey talk just like Jackie O did. That accent is very much alive.

They didn't talk anything l ike Jackie O. They both sounded more like Edith Bunker.

It's like an old upper-crust New York accent. If you've seen The Age of Innocence movie, the actress who plays Mrs. Mingott speaks with a similar accent.
