RE: Deborah Kerr
Kerr did play an ancient provincial Lydian slave in Quo Vadis. She was also Portia in the Mankiewicz version of Julius Caesar. In both cases, she was believably cast as a person of the approximate race and age. In 1960, she would have been a stretch as a Jewish slave in her twenties. I guess she could have done it. No one seems bothered by Haya Harareet's accent, so I don't know. Doesn't matter. Haya was good as Esther. I wouldn't change her.
