British screen legend Deborah Kerr has died at age 86. The seemingly urbane redhead embodied the proper femme later portrayed by Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and Julie Andrews. Sexy without trying to be so.

Like Greer Garson, who preceded her in stardom, Kerr embodied an essence on screen that's not only difficult to find today but one that's barely even understood. She had refinement and delicacy of manner without seeming prissy. She was vulnerable without being weak, sensual without being lewd and beautiful without being anyone's toy.
