ONE CLASSY Actress

Deborah Kerr, one classy actress

Remembering Deborah Kerr

September 30, 1921 — October 16, 2007 (86)

Nominated six times for Best Actress Oscar but never took one home — most ever without a win 

The Scottish born actress had a remarkable career in the theater — from London’s West End to Broadway — and scores of movies and TV roles.

Every role she excelled in, from a shy spinster in Separate Tables with David Niven, to a tough Aussie in The Sundowners with Robert Mitchum, to a sexy mistress in From Here to Eternity with Burt Lancaster.

The stage was always her main love, she said, even though it scared her to death.

“It’s an unbelievable terror, a kind of masochistic madness. The older you get, the easier it should be but it isn’t.”

ONE OF HER BEST ROLES

From Here to Eternity (1953)
