"I feel like I'm imitating an American accent, but it really is mine, Monica Barbaro jokes. The actor has spent the morning rehearsing in an English accent for her stage debut in the National Theatre's revival of Les Liaisons Dangereuses."
"Speaking aloud in a theatre for this big of an audience is new for me, she says, apprehensively. For A Complete Unknown, Barbaro, 35, spent months studying Baez's voice and music, learning guitar and wearing prosthetic teeth to capture the singer's distinctive look."
"Of all Dylan's relationships, it is his partnership with Baez that has lingered most in the public imagination. Their relationship was shaped as much by their creative symbiosis as by its personal intensity."
