As a U.S. Marine stranded with a nun (Deborah Kerr) on an island surrounded by hostile Japanese soldiers, Mitchum showed a tenderness that surprised his critics, although some of them could still be snide even in their praise.

When Kerr wrote about homemaking, childrearing, and writing (and that sometimes thorny point in the Venn diagram where all three intersect), she always sounded like a smart, funny woman who was enjoying herself enormously.
Kerr acknowledged the frustrations of life among the preschool set: "I'm sick of talking about milk," she crabbed ruefully in a passage on her vain attempts to make conversation at the family dinner table.

Deborah Kerr was born on 30 September 1921 in Helensburgh, Scotland, the daughter of Captain Arthur Kerr-Trimmer.
Deborah Kerr is the actress with the distinction of being the actress with the most Oscar nominations (six) without ever winning, but that was made up for in 1994, when she was given a special Oscar for her screen achievments.
Although her dominant screen "image" is that of an elegant, refined and possibly reserved British woman, Kerr played a wide variety of roles, and went decidedly against type as the American adulteress in From Here to Eternity (1953), in which she shared a famous smooch in the surf with Burt Lancaster.
