Leading Lady continued...   Kerr was the standout attraction in Otto Preminger's Bonjour Tristesse, which co-starred David Niven and Jean Seberg. This film, although somewhat cold, is worth a look for the lush color photography and Kerr's wardrobe by Givenchy.    With Jean Seberg in Bonjour Tristesse Terence Rattigan's play Separate Tables brought Kerr her fifth Academy Award nomination as a repressed spinster whose life is governed by her overbearing mother (played by Gladys Cooper). The all star cast also included David Niven, Wendy Hiller and Rita Hayworth, who gave an effective dramatic performance as a lonely divorcee.   With Gladys Cooper in Separate Tables One of her finest films came at the end of the decade when she made The Sundowners with director Fred Zinnemann. Her role as a sheep farmer's wife was performed without makeup and her natural beauty was both affecting and illuminating. She received her final Academy Award nomination and the film is considered one of her finest achievements.   With Robert Mitchum in The Sundowners

Deborah and Anthony had separated in 1958 and they were divorced in 1959. The demands of their schedules and the increasing time spent apart had taken its toll on their marriage and they parted amiably. Kerr's career continued on an even track at the beginning of the 1960's when she made an excellent adaptation of Henry James' The Turn of the Screw. Titled The Innocents, it was a quality production filmed in England and directed by Jack Clayton. The striking black and white cinematography contributed greatly to the eerie story of a governess who is charged with two young children who seem to be possessed by ghosts. On July 23, 1960, Deborah married Peter Viertel, the son of Austrian poet Berthold Viertel and screenwriter Salka Viertel. Their wedding was held in Klosters, Switzerland where they made their home. Following the completion of The Innocents, Deborah took a much needed break to devote more time to Peter and their new home. In 1962, she made her first film for television. It was called "Three Roads To Rome" and it gave her the opportunity to play three different characters in three separate vignettes. Leading Lady continues...
