Fade to Black - Deborah Kerr

Somebody forgot to tell me.

Deborah Kerr died on October 16th. She'd been suffering from Parkinson's Disease, and according to one family member, she "just slipped away" shortly after her 86th birthday.

A Shot for the Ages: Kerr and
Lancaster in
From Here to Eternity


How the stars fade. I surf the net regularly, and had no clue that one of Hollywood's greatest First Ladies had passed on.

Kerr will be remembered best for her charm and manner, but I especially liked her role in From Here to Eternity. That is one of my must-see Fade to Black films this week. The Sundowners and An Affair to Remember are two others.

RIP, Deborah Kerr.
