A lot of people today probably don't understand what a luminous talent she was. The camera loved this woman and so did the audience. She was the real deal.

Her opening quips when she received an honorary Oscar and here are just brilliant. Amazing that she seems honestly overwhelmed by the tributes she received. Think about it. She knew she was getting this award. She knows how outstanding her career was. And yet she seems shocked at the respect and admiration her peers are showing her. What a shame she is no longer with us. One of the classiest actors in the history of cinema. Her closing line was perfect.

Of all the actresses from the film industry‘s so-called “golden age“, Deborah Kerr was, in my opinion, the most gifted and certainly one of the most beautiful. I admire her so much. Her talent was once in a generation. She was very lovely though what mesmerized me about her was her ability to bring her roles to life with such effortlessness. One of my favorite Kerr films is the Sundowners. Her performance 🎭 in that film 🎞 took my breath away, she and Robert Mitchum made film magic! Just magnificent.

It beggars belief that when you see who gets awarded titles these days that Deborah Kerr was not made a Dame. They still show Black Narcissus to acclaim over 70 years after it was made and that is just one of the many classics in which she shone. It's rather sad to see her so frail here, yet heartening to know that she actually lived on for many more years.

@@garypatterson2055 A number of things are possible. There was a general rule in the 70s and 80s that tax exiles would not be knighted. She may have turned down lesser honours or a knighthood. The honours committee never comments.

@garypatterson2055 2 жыл бұрын

@@peterd788 Why'd she accept a CBE but refuse the title of DBE. I can't type she was/wasn't a tax exile, though when she died, she was residing in Suffolk. Sir Sean Connery Sir Rod Stewart and Dame Elizabeth Taylor were all knighted and they were tax exiled.

@peterd788 2 жыл бұрын

@@garypatterson2055 I didn't say this happened but in the 70s and 80s there was an unwritten rule that tax exiles didn't get knighted. Some people quietly turn down knighthoods. The point is that the Honours Committee never comments. From the 90s onwards the only requirement was that the recipient hadn't renounced their UK citizenship. Hence Angela Lansbury and Julie Andrews. Kerr was very ill in her later years and may not have wanted the fuss.

This section was under-rehearsed and a dog’s dinner. Sir John got very muddled and there was a false start when Miss Kerr was unsure if he’d introduced her onto the stage.
