Deborah Kerr Rhymes with Star!
New Filmsuck episode! We're celebrating Scottish-born actor Deborah Kerr ("...rhymes with star!") whose stardom in 1940s England got her a Hollywood studio contract and a "ladylike" star image she had to fight in order to get better roles. She ought to be better known for her unusual air of compassion and worldly wisdom and her many great performances in such films as THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP, BLACK NARCISSUS, FROM HERE TO ETERNITY, TEA AND SYMPATHY, HEAVEN KNOWS MR. ALLISON, AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER, THE KING AND I, BONJOUR TRISTESSE, SEPARATE TABLES, and THE INNOCENTS.
