Deborah Kerr, a versatile actress who long projected the quintessential image of the proper, tea-sipping Englishwoman but who was also indelible in one of the most sexually provocative scenes of the 1950’s, with Burt Lancaster in “From Here to Eternity,” died on Tuesday in Suffolk, England. She was 86.

Well, she certainly wouldn't have practiced that in her home town - the beach there is very pebbly - ouch!
Ummm... I am part of GenX (30-somethings) and I know who she is by the movie "Sleepless In Seattle." That was my motivation to watch "An Affair To Remember."
