TCM will be paying tribute to Deborah Kerr on Sunday, October 28th, who passed away on Friday, October 19th at the age of 86. Deborah was a six time Oscar nominee. At 8 p.m., she stars as a lonely military wife who seeks happiness through an illicit affair in From Here to Eternity (1953), co-starring Burt Lancaster, Frank Sinatra and Donna Reed. And at 10:15 p.m., she plays a spinster who is completely dominated by her mother while staying at an English seaside resort in Separate Tables (1958), with Lancaster and Oscar winners David Niven and Wendy Hiller.
“Deborah Kerr was one of the great jewels of the movie industry,” said TCM host Robert Osborne. “Not only was she an immensely gifted and versatile actress, but also someone who made every film she touched better.” [Source krul8.com]
My absolute favorite film with Deborah Kerr is “From Here To Eternity.” There never has been, nor ever will be, a kissing scene like the one between her and Burt Lancaster in this film. Didn’t you just feel the love? Deborah has gone from here on to eternity… Gone but never forgotten.
