Thank you Irene .Yes I agree. Deborah had a lovely modulated tone to her voice and perfect diction .As you know she was born in Helensburgh Which is only 5 miles from Balloch where I was brought up!!
Practically neighbours! :) Too bad, she left the area when very young. I must have been in your neighbourhood too, a long time ago, when I visited Edinburgh and I went on a cruise on Loch Lomond.
Audrey black i agree with you that she has perfect diction. As English is not my mother tongue, i have no problem hearing her as she was very clear in her pronunciation. Such an excellent actress. I always thought she would be a great English teacher or headmistress as well.
I find myself literally crying at hear her voice, a good cry, by the way, thank you so much for this! Recently I discovered Deborah and just WOW! what a lady!
Fräulein Ann absolutely agreed with you. I also recently discovered her old movie "an affair to remember". Her act is timeless. I wish I could have lived in her time. RIP
Now it's the perfect time for a re-watch: Valentine's day, plus it's the year of the 60th anniversary of the movie. Nothing like sobbing once more on this classic (like I did a couple of days ago) ;)
Very true, and she was genuinely that way, without any artifice for publicity reasons. Also true about her voice, it's one of my favourite "musics" to listen to.
I may be completely wrong. But for some reason I get the impression that this lady was well grounded in who she truly was as a person. She didn't lose her true identity in this Hollywood stuff. She seems precocious, down to earth, inquisitive, shy and bashful. I imagine her being right at home and comfortable, say, an almost hidden figure while attending a glamerous celebrity party. But when the cameras flock to and surround her, yeah she will smile, and pose- but deep inside her heart she is like "Please hurry up and get this over with so I can go back and shrink into the background where I prefer." Deborah Kerr was one gorgeous woman. But the inner beauty of a woman shines more brilliantly than her physical features. So for me, as far as I am aware- this epitomizes Deborah.
Hi Irene, just wanted to let you know that your channel is absolutely marvelous!!! I'm a huge DK fan too, these interviews are my favorites. Keep 'em coming :-)
She must have been a very good dancer to even be ' back row of the swans' as she calls it And Sadler's Wells no less. What a wonderful interesting person to get to know. And so lovely in every way.
Quite lovely, as the lady herself. A thousand thanks!
One of the most beautiful women, inside and out!

A gracious lady, in the best sense of the word, and a superlative actress, one of the greatest of her day. Ave, atque, vale.

my goodness! I know, an affair to remember, one of those movies that you come back from time to time and it is always a pleasure

I hope you're fine Irene :) lots of love
Thanks a lot, same to you! I'm ok (taking my time to relax, offline mostly) ;)

Loch Lomond is beautiful Good that you visited Scotland.... Helensburgh is quite a pretty little seaside town on the shores of the river Clyde
Yes, Scotland is very beautiful and I'm glad I had the chance to see even the tiniest part of it.
I want to be just like her!
