We are deeply saddened to hear of the recent passing of Deborah Kerr, the award-winning actress who was the epitome of onscreen elegance and British charm.Beloved star of some of the most romantic movies ever filmed (From Here to Eternity, The King and I, An Affair to Remember), the red-headed, luminous beauty also starred in such classics as Black Narcissus; King Solomon's Mines; Quo Vadis; Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison; Separate Tables; The Sundowners and Tea and Sympathy, a role she originated on Broadway.
Kerr, who was nominated for the Academy Award six times, received an Honorary Oscar in 1994. Upon accepting the honor, the shy actress known as "The English Rose" said, "I have never been so terrified in my life, but I feel better now because I know that I am among friends. Thank you for giving me a happy life." And thank you, Deborah Kerr, for sharing it with us.
