I'll Remember
I just saw this headline:
Deborah Kerr, Actress Known for Genteel Grace and a Sexy Beach Kiss, Dies at 86
Deborah Kerr. What a wonderful actress.....
Yes she is infamous for that kiss on the beach in From Here to Eternity. As she should be, that was one HOT scene.
But my favorite of her roles were in The King and I and....yes, An Affair to Remember. THAT is one of my all time favorite movies. Ever. Period.
Old Hollywood is slipping away. Those Stars of Old who KNEW they were entertainers....not political analysts or experts in War and Peace. Back in the day.....it was about the image. And folks really worked at that image. It was ENTERTAINMENT.

To have starred with Burt Lancaster, Yul Brynner and Cary Grant...she was an excellent actress and one lucky lady.

I miss old Hollywood.
Girl, when I was 10 years-old, I cannot tell you how I cried when I found out Cary Grant died the day before my 11th birthday...November 30, 1986. Devastated.
I was always weird that way, with the old movies...never watched the stuff from today. It always hadda be black and white, unless it was something like Gone With The Wind, or Rear Window.
Same thing, and just as bad, when Gene Kelly, Jimmy Stewart, Donald O'Connor, and Katharine Hepburn died.
I shed some serious tears, because all these old-timey peeps were my heroes and role models. Now we have Sean Penn and Kevin Spacey.
Oy.
Girl, we are S-C-R-E-W-E-D.
