202 The Innocents ( 1961 )

Here  we  cross  over  with  one  of  my  other  blogs  so  you  can  read  my  summary  of  the  film  and  all  about  one  of  the  actresses  here

Deborah  Kerr  ( as  Miss  Giddens  )

Sex : Nothing  overt  but  there's  a  sexual  subtext  running  throughout  the  film  culminating  in  the  famous  "infant  kiss"  scene

Death : Survives


Deborah  was  one  of  Britain's most  celebrated  actresses  of  the  fifties and  sixties, She  received  the  most  Oscar  nominations -six - without actually  winning  one. Probably  her  best  known  role  was Anna in  The King  And  I  but  she  also  starred in  From  Here To  Eternity, Separate  Tables  and  Black  Narcissus. Later  in  her  career  she  unfortunately appeared  in  the  trashy  A  Woman  of  Substance  but  her  reputation  was  secure  enough. She  died in  2007  from  Parkinson's  Disease  aged  86.

Pamela  Franklin  ( as  Flora )

Sex : n/a

Death : Survives
