Friel determined daughter will drop American accent

Anna Friel is bringing her daughter back to Britain - in a bid to rid Gracie of the American accent she has picked up Stateside.

The 'Pushing Daisies' star has lived in the US for two years and her three-year-old daughter with 'Harry Potter' actor David Thewlis has picked up a strong accent - even using American words instead of their British equivalents.
