Deborah Kerr


The King and I.
It was Yul Brynner who pushed for Deborah Kerr to be cast as Anna in "The King and I”(1956). He had seen some of her stage work, was highly impressed with her and was convinced that she was the one for the role. Deborah Kerr was also on the short slate of A List actresses that could open a movie at that point to begin with, so it didn't make Yul Brynner's decision that hard.
Baking under the hot lights on-set, Deborah Kerr lost over 12 pounds, and would often refer to herself as "The melting Miss Kerr". In addition, during the filming of "Shall We Dance" sequence, Kerr suffered continual bruising from the hoops in her skirts.
