* NonSingingVoice: [[invoked]] In ''The King and I'', dubbed by Marni Nixon. This was actually when such a thing went public. Although Marni Nixon's contract stated that she couldn't say anything, Deborah went to the papers and mentioned her by name.

[[note]] Oddly enough, Deborah's own singing in real life was, in her own words "solidly competent". It was more a question of range than quality, although she was perfectly happy for Marni to sing for her. [[/note]]

Deborah Jane Kerr[[note]](Rhymes with "star", but this doesn't stop people in UsefulNotes/{{Britain}} saying it so it rhymes with the "err" sound in "ferry". On top of that, current [[UsefulNotes/NationalBasketballAssociation NBA]] coach UsefulNotes/SteveKerr pronounces ''his'' last name to rhyme with "sir".)[[/note]] [[UsefulNotes/KnightFever CBE]] (30 September 1921 -- 16 October 2007) was a Scottish-born actor who was one of Hollywood's favorite redheads from the 1940s through the 1960s. Her success was pretty quick out of the gate, with well-received supporting roles in ''Major Barbara'' and ''Love on the Dole'' in her native UK. Teaming up with Michael Powell turned out well for her, with ''Film/TheLifeAndDeathOfColonelBlimp'' and ''Film/BlackNarcissus'' helping get her the attention of Hollywood.

Kerr's mother was English (from Gloucestershire), so this doesn't really work, as she isn't a "fake" in this regard.


* FakeBrit: [[invoked]] Technically. She was Scottish but her IAmVeryBritish way of speaking led to her playing English characters.
