Not all of the following were great movies, but I thought Deborah Kerr was excellent in them: The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, I See a Dark Stranger, Black Narcissus, The Hucksters, From Here to Eternity, The End of the Affair, The King and I, Separate Tables, The Sundowners, The Innocents, and Night of the Iguana.
You have no idea how much a adore this lady. Terrific interview-as always. Cavett’s interviews are very sincere. They’re always real conversations and it’s wonderful to see and listen to: awkward pauses and all. I find that terribly refreshing.
Lots of footage around, and more than one terrific one on the making of 'The Innocents' film. Most of her films are all available either on DVD or Bluray. She didn't like interviews though.
wonderful performances in The Innocents, Bonjour Tristesse, the Chalk Garden and The Night of the Iguana in addition to the six roles for which she was a Best Actress nominee!
A man who is willing to work in a lumber yard so he'd be able to buy an engagement ring 💍 for his future bride is okey in my book. Cavett married a year after I was born on June of '64' and is still kicking. I always liked his demeanor and soft spoken voice. 🤩🥳🤗
Countless directors and costars had quite the obsession for her, over the years, and seeing just how honest and straightforward she seems that fact speaks rather highly of the gents concerned.
@@jadezee6316 Go look for it yourself if you're that interested..this is the UA-cam comment section jungle buddy, no rules round here! I've just seen this lady for the first time..a beautiful, and if what I've read is to be believed, a fantastic actor also.
it is very common for stage performers and actors to get nervous before going on stage...Laurence Olivier was notorious for it....Monroe was terrified to get in front of a camera....Phil Silvers suffered panic attacks and occasionally couldnt get on stage...the list is endless....and it is very easy to understand why...
I'm 44 years old and I may have heard Deborah Kerr's name but I had no idea what she looked like this will happen to the stars of today they will be forgotten which is kinda of sad.
Alexander Cohen must have been tripping. On Broadway, West Side Story (1957) and Bye Bye Birdie (1960) were never in competition at the same time for a Tony Award. Guess everyone was too polite to correct him.
I just wish I could’ve met this woman…. So I could say….. HOW I LOVE HER‼️😻 WONDERFUL MS KERR⭐️✨⭐️✨ My favorite Movie: The Innocents… 👻 She was magical ❣️
My dad always corrected me that her name was pronounced car.. not Kerr … but in fact it is actually Kerr rhyming with “her”. American casting agents couldn’t understand the Scottish pronunciation.
Although born in Scotland, she was educated in England at a time when actors were expected to speak RP. So they wouldn't have ever heard the "Scottish" pronunciation. And in this interview she clearly says "car".
@@michaelcullen5308 but isn't she saying Car in the interview because that's how she was "marketed"? I like Car better. Also what is RP? Didn't she have a very Scottish accent early on? Just curious about all of this thanks to my dad. I only learned what I said above through an American doco so don't know how accurate.
I have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Art Carney or Jackie Gleason? I don’t have Decades.
She had to be charming didn't she? She was brilliant, and her slightly nervy quality mixed with the calm exterior was what made her so great. I don't think she liked being interviewed though. Around this time however, when she toured with play she spoke of, she was just staring to show signs of being unwell. Very sad.
Rather good breath control for a comedian . . . . She was a tall lady, taller than the 5'7" she was credited as . . . . She was not too comfortable, but seemed to be a nice lady.
Yes it is, I agree. She was very nervous I thought, and as I mentioned above, around this time she was just starting to become 'forgetful.' So she was possibly tense because of it. When she toured with the play she mentioned, which I saw, the cast was very concerned about her, because it appeared that she couldn't remember her lines and as the season went on it got worse. They were surprised that such a distinguished actress would. Of course nobody knew what lay ahead. Very sad. She was great though.
@@jochenstossberg5427 I knew she had Parkinson’s late in life but I had never heard cognitive decline had set in this early (she was still working well into the 1980s and even won an Emmy for her work in ‘A Woman of Substance, although of course there’s no pressure to remember lines in TV work). Anyway she was enchanting and one of those rare stars totally without ego. I read Christopher Isherwoods diaries and he and his partner Don absolutely adored her, joining her for a family Christmas in Klosters in the early 70s)

What's your favourite Deborah Kerr movie from the list Dick Cavett read out?
Not all of the following were great movies, but I thought Deborah Kerr was excellent in them: The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, I See a Dark Stranger, Black Narcissus, The Hucksters, From Here to Eternity, The End of the Affair, The King and I, Separate Tables, The Sundowners, The Innocents, and Night of the Iguana.
Tea and Sympathy and, of course, The King and I.
Heaven Knows Mr. Allison, among many others.
Heaven knows mr Allison too!
The Innocents
You have no idea how much a adore this lady. Terrific interview-as always. Cavett’s interviews are very sincere. They’re always real conversations and it’s wonderful to see and listen to: awkward pauses and all. I find that terribly refreshing.
Love her voice ❤️ she was incredible- adore her!
Absolutely love her! One of my favorite actresses from the golden era!
Ms Kerr is one of my favorite actors of all time; amazing and very classy woman who is greatly missed.
Loved Deborah Kerr. Such an amazingly talented and beautiful actress. 💕
One word: CLASS. My personal favorite Kerr movie:.Black Narcissus.
The fact that’s it’s so hard finding any footage from Deborah makes me appreciate this video even more. Thank you !!
Lots of footage around, and more than one terrific one on the making of 'The Innocents' film. Most of her films are all available either on DVD or Bluray. She didn't like interviews though.
Deborah Kerr is extremely underrated.
wonderful performances in The Innocents, Bonjour Tristesse, the Chalk Garden and The Night of the Iguana in addition to the six roles for which she was a Best Actress nominee!
That's a cliché, but in her case it's actually the truth.
what a hackneyed comment. I wish you dopes would stop leaving it all over youtube when it's so laughably false
She looks terrific here
Underrated? She was one of the most iconic actresses of her generation.
A man who is willing to work in a lumber yard so he'd be able to buy an engagement ring 💍 for his future bride is okey in my book. Cavett married a year after I was born on June of '64' and is still kicking. I always liked his demeanor and soft spoken voice. 🤩🥳🤗
So great to see this show back on You Tube, it is a fine show, after a hard day's work I sit and unwind to this show and the excellent guests.
Please post more of Deborah Kerr!!!
How fabulous is this! Thank you for uploading! Massive DK fan here!
She looks fantastic here, i think (not the outfit 😒)
Countless directors and costars had quite the obsession for her, over the years, and seeing just how honest and straightforward she seems that fact speaks rather highly of the gents concerned.
countless?
lol.....name a few of each and reference them....

A Excellent actor does get nervous that is healthy
Poor Dick. All he could get was Henry Fonda and Deborah Kerr as guests--LOL. Unbelievable. Thank you for the upload.
She is a absolute Star.
Superb, beautiful actress and wonderful voice.
So classy, I miss women who conducted themselves like her❤️
Even with the awful looking styles of the early 70s DEBORAH KERR manages to look like a million bucks in an elegant black velvet pantsuit.
So true! She looks fantastic - very classy.
Do you think she’s as elegant as cardi -b though ?
@@surfrescue3232 Wag!
A truly great actress, so talented , elegant , and very beautiful ❤
Please show more ROBERT SHAW interviews.
Black Narcissus is a 10/10
She would have been 100 years old in 2021.
it is very common for stage performers and actors to get nervous before going on stage...Laurence Olivier was notorious for it....Monroe was terrified to get in front of a camera....Phil Silvers suffered panic attacks and occasionally couldnt get on stage...the list is endless....and it is very easy to understand why...
Gorgeous outfit of Mrs. Kerr 😍
elegant!
Good interview 😊
Classy people….something you don’t see much of nowadays IMO.
Deborah Kerr is so beautiful and projects peerless class . Just stunning.
I'm 44 years old and I may have heard Deborah Kerr's name but I had no idea what she looked like this will happen to the stars of today they will be forgotten which is kinda of sad.
Debroah kerr💖💖💖💖
I always adored her.
A shame she never got an Oscar.. what did the Academy have against her?
I believe she was awarded an Oscar for her career work.
she won an honorary Oscar in '94
Alexander Cohen must have been tripping. On Broadway, West Side Story (1957) and Bye Bye Birdie (1960) were never in competition at the same time for a Tony Award. Guess everyone was too polite to correct him.
Regarding "West Side Story" and the Tonys, it was actually "The Music Man" that bested WSS for Best Musical at the 12th annual Tony Awards.

I think it's pronounced the way she herself pronounces it, which you can hear quite clearly in this clip is "carr"
@@surfrescue3232 RP = received pronunciation
Interesting. I’m Scottish; I have cousins whose surname is Kerr, and they pronounce it as it appears, rhyming with the ‘terr’ in terrace.
Deborah Kerr was Oscar nominated 6 times for Best Actress between 1950 and 1961
Miss kerr born in glasgow scotland
The best actress ever to come out of Scotland IMO. It's pronounced Kerr and not Carr.
Who was the other lady who never opened her mouth?
from here to eternity and separate tables
I have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Art Carney or Jackie Gleason? I don’t have Decades.
I think she is the most attractive women ever,she is lovely.
Cohen is incorrect - WEST SIDE STORY lost the Tony to THE MUSIC MAN, not BYE BYE BIRDIE
She buried in my local cemetery
She had to be charming didn't she? She was brilliant, and her slightly nervy quality mixed with the calm exterior was what made her so great. I don't think she liked being interviewed though. Around this time however, when she toured with play she spoke of, she was just staring to show signs of being unwell. Very sad.
Cavette seems a but nervous in the beginning, at least!
Rather good breath control for a comedian . . . . She was a tall lady, taller than the 5'7" she was credited as . . . . She was not too comfortable, but seemed to be a nice lady.
All that brown and orange.
Is this the original gender assignment 🤔 maybe who knows but I guess it takes awhile for us to catch on lol
An incredibly stilted interview with painful silences Excruciating
Yes it is, I agree. She was very nervous I thought, and as I mentioned above, around this time she was just starting to become 'forgetful.' So she was possibly tense because of it.

What a boring interview by Cavett and a missed opportunity.
