Grace Kelly - ©Theda Bara

The name I present to you in this post is that of one of the most stunning blondes in cinema, the American and Princess of Monaco Grace Kelly, one of the highest-grossing Hollywood stars of the 1950s. Between late 1951 and early 1956, the actress starred in ten films, 36 live TV shows and two Broadway plays. Grace fell in love several times during this period, but none of the relationships worked out. She didn’t want to stop working, she didn’t want to give up having a family, but she didn’t think it was possible to have it all.

As the favorite actress of British filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980), Grace Kelly starred in five Hollywood films in 1954: “Rear Window”, playing the role of “Lisa Carol Freemont”; “The Bridges of Toko-Ri”, playing the role of “Nancy Brubaker”; “The Country Girl” (which won her the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1955), playing the role of “Georgie Elgin”; “To Catch a Thief”, playing the role of “Frances Stevens”; and “Dial M for Murder”, playing the role of “Margot Mary Wendice”.

Grace Kelly has a star on the Los Angeles Walk of Fame at 6329 Hollywood Boulevard in the motion picture category.

Grace Patricia Grimaldi was born on November 12, 1929, at Hahnemann University Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, and died on September 14, 1982, at Princess Grace Hospital, Monaco-Ville, Monaco, an independent state on the Mediterranean coast of France, at the age of 52.

As an actress, she won an Oscar and 3 Golden Globes: Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama (1955), for “The Country Girl”; Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture (1954), for “Mogambo”, playing the role of “Linda Nordley” and Henrietta Lifetime Achievement Award (1956). As a woman, Grace won the heart of the most coveted prince of her time. Considered a fashion icon and the most beautiful princess in history, Grace Kelly has several biographies published about her life.

Grace Kelly, who, after starring in several important films in the early 1950s, became Princess of Monaco when she married Prince Rainier III (1923-2005), leaving him a widower due to a car accident on (September 14, 1982), a marriage that lasted 26 years, from 1956 to 1982. The couple had 3 children, Princess Caroline Louise Marguerite (1957-), the current Sovereign Prince Albert Alexandre Louis Pierre Grimald - Albert II (1958-), and the youngest Stéphanie Marie Elisabeth Grimaldi - Princess Stéphanie of Monaco (1965-).
