I don't think she is affected by Parkinson's or is drunk. I think Miss Kerr - who was a very shy person - would have found this presentation an ordeal - to start with,

anyway. PS She was far too professional a person to get drunk knowing she had to present an award.

I remember watching this as a kid when it first aired. I didn't know who Deborah Kerr was then, but since, have become a huge fan. I read that she was always very nervous initially in front of live audiences and I think that was the reason for the lovely nervous giggle. Hey, she may have been just a tad tipsy as well. We will never know. Thanks for posting this.

@MyLalinea If you mean the man who introduced Deborah, it is Dick Van Dyke, the host for the ceremony.

I first saw Deborah Kerr in The Sundowners, and fell in love with her. She was one of the most beautiful, graceful, elegant, talented actresses i have ever seen on the screen. It's my sincere hope that people will continue to discover what a tremendous presence she was, and that she will not be forgotten.

I just discovered her from watching the film The Night of the Iguana and she was fantastic. Terrific actress.

She did not have Parkinson's at this time. She was 57, looked beautiful and was absolutely wonderful and funny. Why would you think she was ill?

kerrloy 1 year ago 3

@kerrloy She definitely doesn't seem ill. Maybe a little drunk, but not ill. Sad that she had deteriorated so badly within just six years when she received the Oscar in 1994.

@dannybex Thanks for your comments, but, having looked at the Wikipedia page, which has a picture of her in a stage play, looking prim and proper, looks pretty good to me and not as if she were 60. Re "deterioration" at the Oscars, it was not 6 years later but 15 years later. Although she was halting at moments and wasn't as lively as when she was younger it was more due to nerves than anything else. Once she got going she was poised and in full control.

@kerrloy If she was only 57 in this clip, she looks okay, because it's so blurred. The picture of her on her wikipedia page, taken when she was just 52, well...take a look at it yourself...she looks like she's at least 60.

If I was Stockard Channing, I would probably say to Miss Kerr, " I don't even want this award I'm just ridiculously pleased to get to meet you!!" Well deserved award and lucky girl; got to meet Miss Deborah Kerr!!!!! thanks for posting!!!

She got such a warm reception at this ceremony, yet when she died current Hollywood hardly noticed. That blurb-if you blinked you missed it- on E.T. was disgraceful. But then I find that Hollywood these days is hellbent on being flushed down the toilet.

If you look at some of the obits I posted showing the coverage she received around the world and on some networks in this country you will see she did have a lot more respect than one thought, though she did not make the front page in most papers. Yet at the end of the year, when discussing hundreds of entertainers who died, she was always mentioned in the prime group of 10 or 15. NBC's tribute dissolved thru 3 of her scenes plus dialogue, while most got 1 picture & some were shown in pairs.

kerrloy 3 years ago

I will look. Thanks. I still think, judging from the television I saw here, that there wasn't nearly enough attention given the news of her death. I remember being appalled. Thanks again for making me aware of what you've posted.

This was so nice and thank you Dick Van Dyke for that lovely and gracious introduction.
