Deborah Kerr (pronounced Car) was born in Scotland. She lived in Switzerland, Spain and Britain. Married twice, she has two daughters and one stepdaughter.

Ms. Kerr was nominated six times as Best Actress. If you're a fan of classic movies, you might want to search for:

1949 - Edward, My Son
1953 - From Here to Eternity
1956 - The King and I
1957 - Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison
1958 - Separate Tables
1960 - The Sundowners

In 1993, Deborah was awarded an Honorary Oscar for her "perfection, discipline, and elegance" in her screen work.

On screen, her training in ballet gave her a graceful carriage. If the role called for it, you could tell you were looking at a lady. She surprised her audience in the 1950's with a long-remembered sensual beach scene. It was probably nothing by today's standards. However, it was pace-setting in the 1950's. Only a lady would have been able to carry it off at that time.
