Bummer!
I have an old, old Japanese movie magazine from the 60's that includes an article on her and her 2 little girls. She was already divorced then.
Off topic thought sorry
OMFG that would be so rad. Like those ass hats that carry around a beeper to inform them about sports scores or high speed chases. Now all FAD forum members get free beeper to vibrate when their favorite celeb kicks the bucket.Originally Posted by ComputerGuy

Deborah Kerr died at the age of 86 on Tuesday in Suffolk, England. Deborah suffered from Parkinson's disease.
Since I'm gay, I of course know her from "The King & I." She was also in "From Here To Eternity" and "An Affair To Remember."
A class act! See ya later Deborah!

Condolences to her family and many fans. She was a classy woman!!!
My mother has Parkinsons Disease. It is NOT fun to sit around and watch a person suffer from this disease. she can't speak without mumbling, she can't walk, all her muscles are shuttin down. She is now confined to a wheelchair. UGH......

A terrible loss. One of the greats.

Thank you for the link. That's sad. I just loved her in An Affair to Remember and From Here to Eternity.
A great loss. I really enjoyed her performances and her beauty. She was great in all of the Powell & Pressburger films which the obits have overlooked. Sad.
Can this thread topic please be retitled with the Actresses name?
The films she made with Powell & Pressburger are considered among the crown jewels of cinema, yet the bits failed to mention them. Her performance in Black Narcissus is one of the most memorable of any actress.
Oh, i'm watching 'An Affair To Remember' tonight.
I looked her up on IMDB with regards A Woman Of Substance the other day. Spooky.
I heard Debra Kerr died. I loved her in an Affair to remember and King and I.
I actually started a new post the search did not show this one. She died Tuesday I guess. I got the mail from the death beeper someone said to subscribe to
I always liked her...calm, very pretty, with an unforgettable voice. She had some great roles. I have to admit, she was getting to the age where you wonder if she's still around when she's still around.
An Affair to Remember, now that was a great movie!
I just heard about this. Then I read that Joey Bishop had died too. Wonder who the third will be?
I really liked Deborah Kerr too. I'm hoping to catch her turn as Dorothy Killgalen in that movie with Gregory Peck on TCM soon. I've never seen it. My favorite with her is King Solomon's Mines.
So, guess those that were doing the death pool didn't win...Kerr and Bishop...wonder who will be next?

Deborah Kerr Was Also In "eye Of The Devil" She Played David Nivens' Wife. Sharon Tate Played A Devil Worshipping Young Witch Who Tormented Deborah's Character Along With Her Brother [David Hemmings] Donald Pleasance [best Known As Dr.loomis In The Halloween Movies] Was Also In This Film.
what a shame that she died.
i have subscribed to that celebrity death beeper.....didnt know anything like that was about
So sad another from the Golden Era..my mom really liked her!
Wasn't she the woman in From Here To Eternity's famous kissing in the surf scene?
I think so. According to IMDB she was in FHTE. I've never seen the movie, though.
The King and I is how I always relate to her
That was her in the surf with Burt Lancaster in FHTE - a classic movie moment and a classy lady.
I loved the King and I! very classy lady!! She suffered from Parkinson's.
" From here to Eternity "......now that was a love scene......classy lady
Deborah Kerr died on Tuesday.

I just saw the obit in the paper. What a wonderful actress she was. From Here to Eternity was a wonderful movie.
The survival of everyone on board depends on just one thing: finding someone on board who can not only fly this plane, but who didn't have fish for dinner.
I quite innocently predicted her death in another thread - 'sad last days of..' - I'm normally up on these things but missed Deborah's passing, mainly cos I've been v.busy at work in Paris, France. Please, if anyone has over looked The Innocents (1961) have a look at it soon, my own fav Kerr film.
Kerr, Bishop and Teresa Brewer a singer from the 40's and 50's all died on the same day, so that's 3. I still have a record of ms. Brewer's that was left to me from my Mom's collection. All of them going on the same day was overwhelming to me, Kerr being such a classy actress, Bishop being the last of the Rat Pack and Brewer being one of my Mom's favorite singers. So sad that these entertainers are gone.I just heard about this. Then I read that Joey Bishop had died too. Wonder who the third will be?
I really liked Deborah Kerr too. I'm hoping to catch her turn as Dorothy Killgalen in that movie with Gregory Peck on TCM soon. I've never seen it. My favorite with her is King Solomon's Mines.
Two of my favorite movies with her, "Heaven Knows Mr. Allison" with Robert Mitchum. She's a nun and he's a marine on an island occupied by the Japanese during WWII. The scene where shes sick and he's undressing her, you know he wants to jump her. Also 1958's "Separate Tables" one of my all time favorite movies. She's the repressed daughter Sybil, prone to hysterical fits. Great cast including Burt Lancaster, Rita Hayworth, Wendy Hiller in a rare screen appearance and David Niven getting arrested doing a Pee-Wee Herman. love those 50's Brit movies.
I am shocked by the lack of coverage on her death. She was one of the finest actresses of her time. I looked for anything on the news about her death, but no one even mentioned it! Is anyone else as shocked as I am?

[SIZE=6]S[/SIZE][SIZE=2]ince DEBORAH KERR hadn't been in anything in 20 odd years, it would appear most apparent that the media cares less about providing her with any space for a decently sized obituary; I say care less compared to say some actor who is is currently on a telelvision series, and had one other credit under his/her belt were to die. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=5]E[/SIZE]ach year during the [SIZE=4]A[/SIZE]cademy [SIZE=4]A[/SIZE]ward(s) ceremony when they run that
'In Memoriam' segment, it astounds me how the audience's applause is thunderous for say when (a) RIVER PHOENIX' photograph is flashed, but when someone who really had a long career but hasn't been in a film in years has died and they show his or her photograph, say MARY ASTOR' that there is barely an audible amount of approval (through clapping).
I was lucky enough to see an absolutely gorgeous print of The King and I earlier this week. And I was blown away by how beautiful Deborah Kerr was.
Truly a stunner.
I'm glad that at least a couple of other people know who she is.
Renowned Death Hag
anybody see her on What's My Line? last night? wonderful show.
How true, in fact Black Narcissus is one of the greatest films ever made. Still gives me goosebumps watching it--awesome, awesome movie.
Marni Nixon dubbed her singing voice in "The King and I." Of course, she dubbed Natalie Wood's voice in "West Side Story" and Audrey Hepburn's voice in "My Fair Lady."
And I've always felt that the King & I and Affair to Remember showed her true class and beauty -- both inside and out.
Of course, you would have to be the bomb diggety to dance in a dress like that......
I'm almost ashamed to say that my only exposure to Deborah has been the 1967 version of "Casino Royale"... but she was really great in that!
