Deborah Kerr: Una gran dama (1974)

By Basilea • Mar 2nd, 2009 • Category: Articles, Español / Spanish, Interview, Theatre

Entrevista con Deborah en Londres en 1974 cuando estrenaba una obra. Según el autor, “La Dama de Dervis” pero este artículo tiene tantas incorrecciones que la obra en cuestión puede ser cualquiera. Por la fecha imagino que se refieres a “Seascape”. Curioso también el detalle del periodista que insiste en que Deborah ¡debe retirarse! Además de mal informado, bastante impertinente.

By Basilea • Mar 2nd, 2009 • Category: Articles, Interview, Theatre, Translation

Translation of an interview for Spanish magazine ONDAS in February 1974. Deborah is a real Lady with a quite impertinent reporter who keeps reminding her of how old she is and how surprising he finds that she is still capable of performing. A real dumbass, if I may say so.
