Known as "The English Rose," lovely, red-haired Deborah Kerr – "It Rhymes with Star!" as MGM memorably proclaimed in her introduction to American audiences – was the distinguished Scotland native who perfectly embodied the attributes of genteel grace and beauty for generations of moviegoers. We honor her on what would have been her 100th birthday with a day of her films including BLACK NARCISSUS at 6pm ET. | Turner Classic Movies: TCM

Born in Helensburgh, Scotland, in 1921, Deborah Kerr began as a ballet dancer before shifting to acting in the late 1930s. Rising from London stages to Hollywood by the 1940s, she earned six Academy Award nominations for films like From Here to Eternity (1953) and The King and I (1956). Kerr passed away in 2007, weeks before her husband, Peter Viertel, leaving behind a luminous cinematic legacy. #fblifestyle | Founding Lens
