In response to A.APPLEYARD, I thought I would point out that, in
America at least, only some parts of the Southern dialect region, as
well as eastern New England, speak non-rhotic dialects of English.
Most American speakers _do_ pronounce their /r/s. On the other hand,
most of England and Wales, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa
are also non-rhotic. I don't know the native dialect of the
actor(s)/actress(es) in question, but I imagine it was _not_ a
minority dialect (assuming they *were* American).
For contrast, South-western England, Scotland, Ireland, Canada, and
most of the United States are rhotic, and, there are groups or rhotic
speakers in areas which are generally non-rhotic.
Just thought I would fill in some of the blank spaces {{{:>
