unforgettable
moments . . . . . . .
At opening-night party for THE DAY AFTER THE FAIR, play's star, Deborah Kerr, was welcomed back warmly by Hollywood celebs.
Exploding in public twice in recent years, the shy and charming English actress suddenly changed roles - and then husbands.
In my opinion, Deborah Kerr may be paying too high a price for love. After hearing a first hand report of Deborah's recent loving reunion with her two daughters in London, both wards of the British crown, I wonder if marriage to Peter Viertel can make up for this loss? In the long run, that is? I eat my words, gladly, because I was wrong on both of the facts mentioned above . Certainly one of the longest marriages in this industry of entertainment ! And yes . . . she is still the loving mother of Melanie and Francesca - and the grandest grandmother to Melanie's boys.
DEBORAH KERR FACED DEATH - ALONE
It was a sunny day in London in 1944 when Deborah Kerr got out of a cab on Regent Street, and headed for Selfridge's department store.
Suddenly the air raid alert sounded. Frantically she looked around for a "Shelter" sign, but couldn't find any. And then she heard it - the putt-putt of the dreaded V-1. It sounded like a malfunctioning model A engine as it droned closer and closer. She knew she was safe as long as she heard the noise. As soon as the motor cut out, it would be just moments till it hit - and no one knew where. She raced across the street toward a big office building. Out of an impulse she threw herself into the entrance of a store, her face pressed on the ground, her hands automatically covering ner neck. And then she waited.
It seemed like an eternity. Deborah was thinking of her family, her friends. How awful, she thought, to die here, all alone. The happiest moments of her life flashed by and the saddest. And both were worth remembering, worth continuing. If only she could share them now, with anyone who cared. If only . . .
And then the buzz stopped and she knew it would be just a matter of seconds . . . . Yet it took an eternity before she heard the splintering crash. Tensely she waited, then got up, brushed the dirt off her clothes, and stepped out into the sunlight. Moments later she heard the fire engine and looked in the direction of the smoke. She briefly glanced back to where she'd been - in a doorway surrounded by plate glass ! If the bomb had hit any closer, she might have been killed, or at least badly cut by flying glass.
And then she noticed other people with the same look in their eyes, people who seconds before must have been as lonely as she had been, but who were swallowed up in the crowds again as she would be, to continue their lives as if nothing had happened.
The Myles Diaries
Joan Crawford had been set to play Karen Holmes but left either because od a costume dispute or because she wanted her part to be expanded. Zinnemann, Taradash and Adler came up with the idea of casting Deborah Kerr. They felt a sexy actress would make the part too predictable and ladylike Kerr does play Karen with a hunger Crawford couldn't have mastered. Perhaps her new-found sensuality was the result of an affair with her co-star, as Lancaster confessed to a few afterwards. Deborah said of her memorable love scenes with him, "There is a chemistry that happened between us, I was not conscious of it, and neither was he. But he had such a good and forceful attitude towards his part, and I towards mine." The romance takes up relatively little screen time but plays a dominant part in the story.
At first, they kiss on the beach standing up, and it was Lancaster's ide for the love scene to be played horizontally in the surf. Their embrace was filmed on Holcona Cove in the eastern end of Oahu and the location became a highlight of island tours for many years. The clinch has been endlessly parodied since its appearance. The MPAA banned photos of the kiss with surf washing over Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr as too erotic. Many prints had shortened versions of the scene because projectionists would cut out frames as souvenirs.
Frank Sinatra: " May you live to be 100, and may the last voice you hear be mine. "
Kirk Douglas: " Being a star doesn't really change you. If you become a star, you don't change - everybody else does. "
Deborah Kerr: " I adore not being me. I'm not very good at being me. That's why I adore acting so much. "
