Sofía Vergara Recalls Hiring a Dialect Coach to Get Rid of Her ‘Beautiful Accent’: ‘It Was a F—ing Waste’

“It’s hard because this accent is beautiful, but it’s like, I cannot be a scientist, I cannot be an astronaut,” Vergara

While discussing the roles she’s been offered since her days on Modern Family, the Griselda star, 51, revealed that she didn’t want to be her character “Gloria [Pritchett] again” in another comedy series, but “I cannot take this accent away no matter what.”
