Scottish-born actress Deborah Kerr, best known for acting alongside Burt Lancaster in the 1953 film "From Here to Eternity", has died aged 86, her agent said on Thursday.
"She died on Tuesday," agent Anne Hutton said.
"Her family was with her at the time. She had suffered from Parkinson's disease for some time and had just had her 86th birthday and so was an elderly lady. She just slipped away."
Kerr was nominated for a best actress Oscar six times, including for her performances in "From Here to Eternity" and "The King and I", in which she appeared with Yul Brynner.
She finally won an honorary Academy Award in the early 1990s "in appreciation for a full career's worth of elegant and beautifully crafted performances".
