She was also in "The Innocents" which personally I think is the scariest film ever made.

Deborah Kerr, the British ballet dancer turned Hollywood star, has died at the age of 86.

Nominated six times for an Oscar, Kerr never won the best actress award despite starring in several memorable roles, opposite the likes of Robert Mitchum and Cary Grant.

In From Here to Eternity, she played Karen Holmes, the sexy adulterous wife living on an Army base in Hawaii. Her scene with Burt Lancaster on the beach with the waves washing over their bodies was considered on the verge of scandalous in its time.

All join in now.....and sleep well to a great lady. :)

I first saw that film on television when I was a little girl and was completely fascinated by the dresses....I always said I would get married in a dress like the one she dances in.....happy childhood memories. :D

Wasn't that a daring scene back then ? there's worse scenes in afternoon soap operas now.

Indeed, although I think part of the shock was that it was Deborah Kerr doing it, as she had such a prim image up to then.

I blame all the excitement on this forum today that probably contributed to her demise.

Get my coat, shall I..

Years from now people will still be able to recall where they were when Deborah Kerr died.

NO! she didn't really do it, not her, she would NEVER do a thing like that, not even in real life :rant::D

A great actress, if only todays celebrities had the style and bearing of the older stars

BBC will probably show The King and I which is always good news

RIP Miss Kerr

A great actress, such poise, such elegance...

sad, but I suppose she had a very good innings, at the age of 86...

"Heaven knows, Mr Allison" was one of my favourites, along with 'The King and I'.

I've only seen it once but 'The Night of the Iguana' was a goodie as well.
