Recently Dead

Scottish-born actress Deborah Kerr, whose kiss with Burt Lancaster in 1953's From Here to Eternity ranks as one of Hollywood's most passionate, died Tuesday from Parkinson's disease in Suffolk, England. She was 86. Kerr was nominated for an Oscar six times, but received only an honorary statuette in 1994 for being an "artist of impeccable grace and beauty, a dedicated actress whose motion picture career has always stood for perfection, discipline and elegance." Among her other films are The King and I, An Affair to Remember, The Innocents, The Night of the Iquana, Tea and Sympathy, King Solomon's Mines, and Black Narcissus.
