Deborah Kerr was actually SCOTTISH - NOT ENGLISH BUT SCOTTISH!!! For some reason, the outsiders were always picked to play English Roses in Hollywood. Greer Garson was IRISH!! But both their beauties are preserved FOREVER on celluloid. Ask some English people to pronounce Deborah Kerr and they say ... Debwa Kaw!!! Debbo-rah Kerr is how to pronounce this SCOTTISH BEAUTY'S name. Oh, and Gwee Gawson!!
@squirell1952 Many of these tags and nick-names were dreamed up by the Hollywood publicity machine. Names like 'Sweater Girl' and 'Sarong Girl' were hated by the likes of Lana Turner and Dorothy Lamour. Greer Garson was actually born in Manor Park, Essex (now Greater London) in 1904 but spent much of her childhood at her grandfather's residence in Ireland.
This was lovely basil. The music, the beautiful photos. A wonderful tribute to a very lovely lady. At 2:29 what is this movie with her in the bathtub and Cary Grant looking down at her. Also, I love the picture at 6:01. Absolutely lovely and a little bit Audrey Hepburnish. Great stuff basil. I always look forward to your videos.
@shahidaly1 Ava Gardner said the same thing about Miss Kerr in her autobiography, in different words of course. I don't know, I was somewhat offended by what she said. Ava said something about how she was always the same. This was after making Night of the Iguana together. Can't remember exactly. But obviously, you both have a right to your opinion. I see her differently. In The Innocents, she was extremely different, and very convincing. I love her acting.
@SoCalGal52 my father loved kerr - she made series of excellent films unlike ava , who doesn't have one outstanding flick to her name! but i do feel ava was more beautiful than even liz taylor. pity she was so careless about her career. she even refused to be photographed when she looked her best in her in her 30s, semi-abandoned her career and sat in Spain. Kerr and Liz took their careers seriously,worked hard and have a real body of work-which endures,unlike a tabloid beauty queen, Ava
when i had watched her in " the king and i ", i was only 13 years. at that time i had not seen such a beautiful ,above all, a remarcable elegant western woman ever. it gave me a shock greatly. and i thougt it must be said seconadary defeat for japan. than you for uploading.
You are of course correct. Hollywood regarded her as 'English' even though she was born in Edinburgh. They also regarded Greer Garson as 'Irish' although she was born in London.
I really like the way you arranged the photos-from pretty but awkward young girl to a sophisticated and beautiful woman. You could feel the love emanating from her!
She was an angel in Broadway. Tea and Sympathy was one of her finest works. It is simply astonishing that she never won an Oscar for her competitive work. She will be remembered as a great talent and a blessing to the world.
Great! Thanks for the help. It's really frustrating when you try to nail down missing information. I am planning another Greer Garson tribute in the future, so keep a look-out!
Thank you. The music is titled 'Sunrise'. I captured this track from a website a long time ago. Unfortunately the piece is incomplete and the artist unknown, so if anyone knows it, please let me know. If you are also interested in Greer Garson, check out MOVIE LEGENDS - GREER GARSON. Hope you like it!
A very fitting tribute (so many portraits not known to me before) for the contributions of a performer that we regarded and still regard so highly. Congratulations.
ho visto quasi tutti i film della kerr,almeni quelli giunti in italia uno piu' bello dell'altro.e' morto un'asltro mito.resterai sempre nel cuore di chi ti ha amato.bellissima e bravissima un delle attrici piu' grande dei suoi tempi. ciao deborah.alessandro.
Wonderful tribute to a naturally beautiful English rose. Deborah had such a magnificant classical beauty and a classy character. She was, and will always be, one of my favorite screen actors. Thanks so much for posting!
Not forever. Deborah Kerr had remarked that all the reruns of her films shown on TV had "...Kept me alive" in people's memories, and it helps secure new admirers as well. So by posting this, you are doing good! You are helping to keep her alive! Thank you!
09/30/1921-10/16/2007 Rest in peace Ms. Kerr. Thank you for the wonderful legacy of films you left behind to keep you in our hearts. You will never be forgotten.
One final note> Baz where do you go to get this music?...you must have a pass port to Heaven it self* all of your videos are embellished by great harmonizing music.
She totally looks like Maureen O`Hara at 5:02!

with rich gracious and lovely works of Art.
