I loved her so much. I was lucky to have had a special relationship with her. We corresponded for many years until her death. We shared many delightful stories with each other. She was a true lady and friend. Her daughter was so kind to give me a copy of her eulogy.

I HAVE ADORED MS. KERR SINCE I SAW HER IN TEA AND SYMPATHY IN CHICAGO AT THE SCHUBERT. IT WAS MY GREATEST MOMENT. HER FILMS STOOD OUT AS THE ACTRESS HAD ROLES THAT WERE FASCINATING. BLACK NARCISSIS A FAVORITE AS WELL AS FROM HERE TO ETERNITY. SHE IS MISSED

TRIVIA "Beloved Infidel" Tale of the fate - tossed romance between F. Scott Fitzgerald and Sheilah Graha.. Beautifully acted. Has strong appeal. DIRECTION: Fine. PHOTOGRAPHY: Impressive. "The Journey" Brilliantly-made and superbly acted drama. Moves with ticking excitement against background of Hungarian revolt. Outstanding box office picture. Strangely enough, it's not been seen on the small tube. . . . DIRECTION: Excellent. PHOTOGRAPHY: Excellent. "The Sundowners" Adventure drama with comic touches set in Australia. Puperb cast. Has entire-family appeal DIRECTION: Able. PHOTOGRAPHY: Very Good. "Prudence and the Pill" Adult comedy of charm and glitter. Fine cast. Good viewing. DIRECTION: Able. PHOTOGRAPHY: Inventive. You don't have to be in the film business to know that Deborah Kerr is frequently described with what is often now an ill-treated word. . . ."nice." This reputation has survived such smoldering films as "FROM HERE TO ETERNITY" and "THE NIGHT OF THE IGUANA."

Deborah Kerr was made a Commander of the Order of the British Umpire (CBE) in 1998, but was unable to accept the honour in person due to ill health. She was also honoured in Hollywood where, for her contributions to the motion picture industry, she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, at 1709 VINE STREET. Althou she never won a BAFTA, Oscar or Cannes Film Festival award in competitive category, all three academies gave her honorary awards.

Here is a thought - just a reminder, of my own, recently I saw one of my all time bestes (favorite Deborah Kerr films) back from 1943 or 1945 - this one had the original title of "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp." Renamed, when it was brought to the United States as "COLONEL BLIMP." The New York Times, March 30th, 1945, had (in part) this review by Mr. Thomas M. Pryor. . . . Roger Livesey (Clive Candy) Anton Walbrook(Theo Kretschmar-Schuldorrr) Deborah Kerr (Edith Hunter / Barbara Wynne / Johnny Cannon) Roger Livesey was an ideal choice for the leading role, Clive Candy. Anton Walbrook gives a completely winning performance as the Prussian officer. Through this motion picture Deborah Kerr, a lovely and talented actress, plays three different ladies in the life of the general Clive Candy with remarkable dexterity. There is an English governess, Edith Hunter, the daughter of a wealthy Yorkshire mill-owner, Barbara Wynne, and Johnny Cannon a girl in the Mechanised Transport Corps. Deborah Kerr plays the three roles with versatility and distinction in her three-part role.

I've made it a rule to speek the name Deborah Kerr once every day and let my life go on from there. . .the memories from the night "seascape" opened in New York will remind me of our meeting after the program. YOU, certainly, are a charmer! There is still another reminder that September 30th is a day to remember. . .

For Deborah...
If one looked up "class"
in the dictionary, your
face would be there.
This...is for you.
WEEP NOT FOR ME
Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.
Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.
I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.
Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.
Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.
Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

I too enjoyed watching Deborah Kerr on the big screen.
At John 5:28, 29, Jesus said: “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” This means that all dead loved ones will come back to life.
We want to express our Condolence for your loss !

I am only young myself. But have a great passion for the classic movies. Deborah was simply perfect. A well loved and missed star she showed true 'holly-wood acting'. Gracious in all her roles. She is a role model and someone I highly admire.
Thankyou for what you did for the film industry, actresses alike today would do well to take a leap out of your book.
rip.

One of my favorite actresses. She was believable in all her roles. My favorite was Heaven Knows Mr. Allison. Young actresses today should take lessons from her. Ms. Kerr stood out with her talent.

Sincerest condolences to her loved-ones. My father, an amateur photographer in the 1950's, somehow got backstage before a performance of Tea & Sympathy at the Nixon theatre in Pittsburgh. He very nervously approached her and asked if he might take a picture. She graciously consented and stood not just for one, but for several photos, sans make-up. Some days later, I discovered these black & white prints hanging to dry in dad's dark-room. Here was this beautiful, freckled lady standing, almost shyly, in front of her dressing room door. I've been a fan
ever since.

Ms. Kerr will truly be missed. She was from the Greatest Generation and had those most beloved attributes of dignity, compassion and manners that is bygone today. I liked her too in the Prudence and the Pill - how truly funny - A truly regal actress she will be missed.

It is not so much that she was the best.
She was the only, and there is no other time when the phrase is more appropriate to say that now - We shall never see the likes of her again.
We shall never know again her brilliance, her insight, and especially her generosity . . . She was real and she brought us down to earth - gently, generously, and with brilliant humor.
She will live forever . . . .
We loved you and your ways, we loved your family - good memories always - thank you for those.
Know this, you will be missed.
All the memories of you on film will remain a treasure from now to "Eternity."
Good-bye dear, dear friend
Rest in Peace.
How so very fitting to go with your name - an "artist of impeccable grace and beauty, a dedicated actress whose motion picture career has always stood for perfection, discipline and elegance."
Thank goodness for her Honorary Oscar given her in 1994.

Dear Mr. Viertel and Family, My deepest condolences on the loss of such a lovely and talented lady . It's weird ...just the other day I was vacuumming and thinking of our new neighbors whom we have started to do things with . I started singing " Getting to know you ..." picturing "Anna" from "The King and I " which is one of my favourite musicals . Suddenly I noticed I was feeling quite weepy and nostalgic for no apparent reason .I was picturing Ms. Kerr surrounded by lovely children . Well ,days later , I have come to learn that this wonderful lady has passed (on that same day that I was having a walk down memory lane ) So , it gave me chills and I wanted to let you know that she was a great role model and actress . A very special woman .My thoughts and prayers are with you , God Bless...

Even though Deborah Kerr has been out of the limelight and ill for some time, the world is suddenly a bit lonelier than it was a few days ago. A fabulous actress who never received as many awards as she deserved, a kind individual who was generous to fans and autograph seekers, Deborah Kerr will now bring even more tears to viewers' eyes when they watch her touching and heartwarming performances---because we will be crying for our own loss. Condolences to her family. Hopefully, all of her fans will introduce her through film to their children and grandchildren so that she truly remains a legend. I suspect that somewhere she is still protesting that she would just like to be known as a "good old broad" rather than a classy lady!
