{"product_id":"9780786458820","title":"Deborah Kerr","description":"Blessed with a natural beauty that faded but little over the years, Scotland-born actress Deborah Kerr (1921-2007) provided the cinema with memorable studies of English gentility. A star in British pictures before she was 21 and a Hollywood fixture from 1946, she projected a cool reserve and stoic nobility, often hinting at a passion and insecurity beneath the surface. Frequently portraying selfless, sympathetic women, she was brilliant in such roles as Anna Leonowens in The King and I (1956). And in a fascinating departure from her normal range, Kerr's portrayal of the sexually frustrated Army wife in From Here to Eternity (1953) resulted in the screen's most famous \"\"clinch\"\"--the beach scene with Burt Lancaster. Though she never won an Academy Award despite six nominations, Deborah Kerr received an honorary Oscar in 1994.","brand":"Michelangelo Capua","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45852024013118,"sku":"9780786458820","price":882.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780786458820_1a484b06-5e3c-47bc-9744-b26f63cca024.jpg?v=1707324862","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780786458820","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
