Deborah Kerr: FMC airs tribute

The Fox Movie Channel (FMC) will also honor the late Deborah Kerr.

The cable channel announced Friday it will air two of the actresses’ best-known movies on Sunday.

At 4 p.m., “The King and I” (1956) in which Kerr played Mrs. Anna, the British schoolteacher brought to Siam to educate the king’s (Yul Brynner) extensive brood, airs at 4 p.m. Kerr doesn’t sing such classics as "Getting to Know You," her voice is dubbed by the ubiquitous Marni Nixon.

That’s followed at 6 by “The Innocents” (1961) in which Kerr plays a governess haunted by spectres that may or may not be real. Truman Capote co-wrote this movie, which was adapted from Henry James’ “Turn of the Screw.”

As previously blogged, Turner Classic Movies will also honor Kerr Sunday by airing “From Here to Eternity” (8 p.m.) and “Separate Tables” (10:15 p.m.).
