Deborah Kerr vs Joan Crawford


Crawford was assigned the role but thankfully Deborah Kerr replaced Joan and got the role of Karen. Everyone knows Crawford would have slept with Lancaster and any other Man, Kerr was more subtle.

Not to mention Crawford would have been terrible in the part, she would have ruined the film.

Deborah Kerr was wonderful as Karen Holmes.

And Burt Lancaster was too. Incredible actor, magnetic, charismatic, there's no actor like him today.

I've seen this film many times, never tire of it. Once a year on December 7th.
