After Deborah’s passing, many were the writers that touched by her film and personal legacy, wrote a piece in memoriam. I received this beautiful one by mail from the author and I felt I had to share. Thank you so much Alexandra/Penny!

Spanish film director Jose Luis Garci interviews Deborah in her Marbellan home in 1995 for a special number of his magazine Nickelodeon dedicated to the actress. The interview is +30 pages long so I will translate it little by little.

She has a rare spiritual beauty. But Deborah Kerr prefers to be known as the screen’s most versatile actress, not just t a “face”.

Unknown writter – 1940s

Si como gran dama no la igualó nadie, como actriz llegó a la altura de las mejores, y cuando se hizo con un buen papel demostró que podía alcanzar las más altas cimas de la emotividad. Nos deleitaba con un exquisito tacto para la comedia, y sorprendió al mundo convirtiéndose en heroína pasional. Fue, en resumen, una de las últimas estrellas que se permitieron el lujo de saber actuar.

Incomparable playing the great lady, and capable of the most delicated emotions. One of the last stars who could also allow herself to be a good actress.
