Good choice of clips. I loved her in "The King and I". When I was a kid I'd watch that movie when ever it was on TV. Must be I have the teacher gene. Either that or I'm a sucker of bare chested bald guys.*jkg*
Actually, I found the "Eternity" clip after following a tribute link to Kerr.
I remember my folks having that soundtrack and we had a friend -Oscar S. - who would come out, get drunk, and sing-along to my folk's musical soundtrack records. He was a huge guy, prob. over 300 lbs. (and I always winced when he got on my mini-bike)
Watching/listening to him sing "Getting to Know You" was surreal.
He was funny until he got to doing "Annie, Get Your Gun". THAT was scary.
