Line 1: {{creator}} {{cleanup\|The roles this actor has portrayed need to be added to the actorroles section.}} [[File:DeborahKerr.jpg\|frame\|"I came over [[Hollywood\|here]] to act, but it turned out all I had to do was to be high-minded, long-suffering, white-gloved, and decorative.?]] '''Deborah Kerr''' ([[It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY"\|rhymes with "star"]], but this doesn't stop people in [[~~Useful Notes/Britain\|~~Britain]] saying it so it rhymes with the "err" sound in "ferry") was a Scottish-born actress who specialized in playing [[English Rose\|high-souled ladies of quality]] and one of Hollywood's favorite redheads from the 1940s through the 1960s. She's best known for ''[[From Here to Eternity]]'' (where she had [implied] sex on the beach with Burt Lancaster); ''[[An Affair to Remember]]'' (where she fell in love with Cary Grant); and ''[[The King and I]]''. Her first leading role was the triple one of the three women loved by the title character of Michael Powell and Emmeric Pressburger's ''The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp'', but really [[Star-Making Role\|shot to stardom]] in Powell and Pressburger's ''Black Narcissus'', about nuns who struggle with, er, "carnal desires" in a former harem in India. I am not kidding. Kerr was the queen of [[Award Snub\|Oscar snubs]], as she was nominated six times and never won. She was a precursor to [[Meryl Streep]], as she never gave a bad performance. One of Hollywood's most underrated stars. ~~----~~ ~~'''Some Films in Which Deborah Kerr Appeared Include''''~~ {{actorroles}} * [[George Bernard Shaw]]'s ''Major Barbara'' (1941) * ''Love on the Dole'' (1941)
