Kerr was born in Scotland on Sept. 30, 1921. When she was a child, her family moved to England, where she studied ballet - her first stage appearance, at 17, was as a ballet dancer. But at 5 feet 6 inches, she was on the tall side for a dancer, and when she realized she didn't quite have the talent to become a prima ballerina, she switched to acting and began appearing in small roles on the London stage.

The postwar personification of the British gentlewoman, Kerr was born in Scotland and began her film career in England in 1940. She had been in 10 films before coming to Hollywood to co-star with Clark Gable in the 1947 MGM film "The Hucksters."
