DISQUS

newcritics: Deborah Kerr

  • Kathleen Maher · 2 years ago
    While unfamiliar with her, I have the impression her movie career inspired a generation of mothers to name their daughters "Deborah;" much more than, say, "Ingrid," "Greer," or even "Marlene/Marlena."

    I'd never thought about it before, but Grace Kelly was a sort of Americanized Deborah Kerr: the aristocratic blonde angel with an obvious emotional strength, including least a hint of raw sexuality, under all that hauteur. Like Sharon Stone, only under control. Okay, that's not fair, I actually like Sharon Stone, but restraint carried its own power, and it seems to be lost.

    Well that's a bit short for such a long and brilliant careers. Her early Hollywood films were not her best. It's by the 1950s and 1960s that her talent as actress (more than movie star) became obvious though movies like The Innocents or Night of the Iguana.

    Come on, can't you do her greater justice?

    Deborah will be sorely missed. Almost the same impact on me like Heath Ledger.
