Deborah Kerr was one of the most famous English actresses of her time. She was born in Scotland and considered to be a real English beauty with impeccable grace and elegance, a ramrod posture honed during her training as a ballet dancer, and flame colored tresses that set her apart from other actresses. She was also called ‘The English Rose’ by her admirers. She won one ‘Golden Globe Award’, three ‘New York Film Critics Awards’, one ‘BAFTA Fellowship Award’, six Oscar nominations, three ‘Golden Globe’ nominations, four ‘BAFTA Award’ nominations and a ‘CBE’ for her work during an acting career spread over more than 45 years. She became famous especially for her roles in ‘From Here to Eternity’ and ‘The King and I’. She was admired in the industry for her acting talent and the professional way in which she handled her roles. She was able to excel in any role from a nun to a slave with equal ease for the stage or the screen. She started as a ballet dancer but decided to become an actress instead as her five foot seven inches frame was a little too tall for a ballet dancer. She acted for the stage, the big screen and for the television.
