Moorehead was born in Clinton, Massachusetts of English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh ancestry, the only child of a Presbyterian minister. She later shaved six years off her age by claiming to have been born in 1906. She grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, and was graduated from Central High School in 1918.
Moorehead earned a bachelor's degree, with a major in biology, from Muskingum College in New Concord, Ohio in 1923. (She later received an honorary doctorate in literature from Muskingum, and served for a year on its board of trustees.) "When her family moved to Reedsburg, Wisconsin, she taught public school for five years in Soldiers Grove, Wisconsin, while earning a master's degree in English and public speaking at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. She then pursued post-graduate studies at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, from which she was graduated with honors in 1929."
That said, I'd say her accent is primarily a combination of Massachusetts with a bit of Missouri thrown in.

Agnes Morehead, who played Endora, was British, so it was a British accent.

I think that it's a British Accent.

I never thought she had an accent. I guess I will have to try and catch some reruns.

It just sounded fake-snooty to me.
