There are few actresses who have caused such a stir in the movie making field as Grace Kelly. Her beauty and elegance helped drive her acting career, but her personality did most of the work.
She is my favorite actress of Hollywood history, followed closely by Audrey Hepburn and Donna Reed. No actress today, in my opinion, can match or even come close to her in elegance and beauty. While actresses today win audiences by showing skin and flaunting their sex appeal, Grace used her stylish beauty and charming personality to win praises, all while remaining fully dressed in a classy yet sexy way. 
Movies she appeared in include: "High Noon" 1952 "Mogambo" 1953 "Dial M for Murder" 1954 "Rear Window" 1954 "The Bridges at Toko-Ri" 1954 "To Catch a Thief" 1955 "High Society" 1956 And her last movie, though it was never released because of her untimely death: "Rearranged" 1982 
Some famous leading men she was in movies with include: Jimmy Stewart Cary Grant Clark Gable Bing Crosby 
She married Prince Rainier III of Monaco on April 18, 1956 and had three kids. Grace Kelly died too early and unexpectedly on September 13, 1982 while driving her car. She suffered a stroke which caused her to drive down a mountainside. She later died at the Monaco hospital. 
To quote Jimmy Stewart: "You know, I just love Grace Kelly. Not because she was a princess, not because she was an actress, not because she was my friend, but because she was just about the nicest lady I ever met. Grace brought into my life as she brought into yours, a soft, warm light every time I saw her, and every time I saw her was a holiday of its own. No question, I'll miss her, we'll all miss her, God bless you, Princess Grace." Rear Window Kiss Rest In Peace |
