I've heard they were horrendous, but I dont' really know how they're SUPPOSED to sound!

I'm no Texan, but I am a native Noo Yawker who's been adopted by Texas
-- Larry Hagman's a native of Weatherford (his momma's the late Broadway actress Mary Martin), and so is a gen-u-wine Texan by birth. Victoria Principal was born in Japan; don't recall where she grew up at.
Some other famous Texans in film, music and TV:
Sissy Spacek - Quitman (her cousin is Elmer Rual Torn, Jr. - better known as actor Rip Torn, from Temple)
Sandy Duncan - Henderson
Angie Harmon - Highland Park
Morgan Fairchild - Highland Park (birth name: Patsy McClenny)
Farrah Fawcett - Beaumont (?)
Janis Joplin - Port Arthur
