      Not all of the following were great movies, but I thought Deborah Kerr was excellent in them: The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, I See a Dark Stranger, Black Narcissus, The Hucksters, From Here to Eternity, The End of the Affair, The King and I, Separate Tables, The Sundowners, The Innocents, and Night of the Iguana.

    A man who is willing to work in a lumber yard so he'd be able to buy an engagement ring 💍 for his future bride is okey in my book. Cavett married a year after I was born on June of '64' and is still kicking. I always liked his demeanor and soft spoken voice. 🤩🥳🤗

    it is very common for stage performers and actors to get nervous before going on stage...Laurence Olivier was notorious for it....Monroe was terrified to get in front of a camera....Phil Silvers suffered panic attacks and occasionally couldnt get on stage...the list is endless....and it is very easy to understand why...

      @michaelcullen5308 Před 2 lety +2

      Although born in Scotland, she was educated in England at a time when actors were expected to speak RP. So they wouldn't have ever heard the "Scottish" pronunciation. And in this interview she clearly says "car".

      @@michaelcullen5308 but isn't she saying Car in the interview because that's how she was "marketed"? I like Car better. Also what is RP? Didn't she have a very Scottish accent early on? Just curious about all of this thanks to my dad. I only learned what I said above through an American doco so don't know how accurate.

    She had to be charming didn't she? She was brilliant, and her slightly nervy quality mixed with the calm exterior was what made her so great. I don't think she liked being interviewed though. Around this time however, when she toured with play she spoke of, she was just staring to show signs of being unwell. Very sad.

      @jochenstossberg5427 Před 11 měsíci

      Yes it is, I agree. She was very nervous I thought, and as I mentioned above, around this time she was just starting to become 'forgetful.' So she was possibly tense because of it. When she toured with the play she mentioned, which I saw, the cast was very concerned about her, because it appeared that she couldn't remember her lines and as the season went on it got worse. They were surprised that such a distinguished actress would. Of course nobody knew what lay ahead. Very sad. She was great though.

Anyway she was enchanting and one of those rare stars totally without ego.
