Parker Posey on Her Kooky ‘White Lotus’ Accent and Getting to Know Blackpink’s Lisa: ‘She’s Such a Beauty’

Marc Malkin Senior Editor, Culture and Events Parker Posey is explaining how she came up with the already much-talked-about southern drawl she uses as Violet Ratliff in the third season of “The White Lotus.” Violet is the pill-popping matriarch of a wealthy North Carolina family vacationing at the posh resort’s Thailand location with her husband (Jason Isaac) and three children (Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sam Nivola and Sarah Catherine Hook). Posey says her exaggerated accent was inspired by her own southern roots – she grew up in Mississippi — as well as “The Official Preppy Handbook.” “Do you know who James Spader is, the snob? I wanted to bring like a snotty affect,” Posey told me at the series’ Season 3 premiere in Los Angeles, adding, “I’ve met some really wealthy people and southerners that are almost affected so that’s what I did.” She continued, “It was so fun to play. It’s the theatricality of Southerners.
