In 1956, after starring in eleven films, she retired from acting to marry Prince Rainer of Monaco. As Princess consort of Monaco, she fulfilled duties of her Royal position and set up a Foundation to promote the arts and help disadvantaged children. She died on 14 September 1982, aged 52 from a car crash. Early Life Grace Kelly Grace Kelly was born in Philadelphia, US, 12 November 1929. Her father, Jack Kelly was a self-made millionaire, and also three times Olympic gold medallist in sculling. Her father Jack made a fortune from ownership of a successful east coast construction company. Grace had two sisters Margaret (Peggy), Elizabeth and a brother John. John followed in the athletic footsteps of his father competing in the 1948, 1952 and 1956 Olympics. He won a bronze medal in rowing 1956. Despite the sporting prowess of her family, Grace was never really interested in sport being more interested in acting and modelling. Although she did not fit seamlessly into her family, she later expressed gratitude to her parents for their open-mindedness and inspiration to aim for perfection. âMy parents, despite their serious attitude toward life in general, and that of their children in particular, were very broadminded people. There was no such thing as a bad profession for them. As I was their daughter, they knew that, whatever profession I chose, I would do it well. That was enough for them.â Grace attended Ravenhill Academy, a Catholic girlâs school, and later Stevens School in the North West of Philadelphia. They were both socially elite private schools. Grace was not academically gifted and failed to gain admission to Bennington College in 1947 due to failings in Maths. One teacher at Stevens academy noted: âShe really wasnât interested in scholastic achievement â she gave priority to drama and boys.â However, after this rejection, she was motivated to try and pursue a career in acting. Her father was initially disappointed, believing acting to be a poor second choice for his daughter. Though ironically, Jack Kelly had two brothers â Walter and George Kelly (Graceâs uncles) who made an impact in cinema and drama. George Kelly won the Pulitzer Prize for drama for his comedy-drama The Show Off (1924-25), however, he became estranged from his family due to his homosexuality. In 1947, Kelly gained admission to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York (helped through the influence of her uncle George). grace kellyIn October 1947, she began her acting studies, diligently practising in her room at night; she would frequently use a tape recorder to practise her voice. She stayed at a local womenâs hostel in Manhattan, and gaining little financial support from her parents, supplemented her income through taking on modelling jobs with the John Robert Powers modelling agency. She had begun part-time modelling since she was 12, and was frequently in demand for her photogenic good looks, poise and blonde hair. She was reported to be one of the highest paid models in New York at the time. Acting Career She made her Broadway debut aged 19, in The Father, by Strindberg. Her stage productions attracted the attention of TV producers, who were beginning to branch out in the post-war golden era of TV drama. Delbert Mann chose Kelly to play Bethel Merriday, a drama adaption of a Sinclair Lewis novel. Kelly exposure on TV and the stage led to offers of roles in films. Her first film role was a minor part in Fourteen Hours (1951). The film gained Kelly little critical interest, however, the famous actor Gary Cooper was taken with the young and charming actress, stating that he felt she had something special that other actresses didnât. With Cooperâs recommendation, she gained her first big role co-starring in High Noon (1952), with Gary Cooper himself. In 1952, she was given a seven-year contract with Director John Ford. Her first film under Ford was Mogambo (1953), shot under location in Kenya. This won Kelly a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress and her first Academy nomination. She starred opposite Clark Cable and the success of the film helped cement her growing reputation. In 1954, she starred in Alfred Hitchcockâs classic Dial M for Murder. Hitchcock and Kelly became close and developed a mutual admiration. Kelly said of Hitchcock: âMr. Hitchcock taught me everything about cinema. It was thanks to him that I understood that murder scenes should be shot like love scenes and love scenes like murder scenes.â Hitchcock revealed that he saw in Kelly a person of intriguing character, once describing her as: âGrace Kellyâs apparent frigidity was like a mountain covered with snow, but that mountain was a volcano.â Michael Johns (2004) Moment of Grace: The American City in the 1950s. p.24 Encouraged by Hitchcockâs enthusiasm for the project, she accepted a role in his film Rear Window (1954) with James Stewart. GK-Rearwindow_trailer_2 Her role as a rich socialite (Lisa Fremont), slowly warming to L.B. âJeffâ Jefferies (James Stewart) is considered one of her finest roles. The film was a commercial and critical success, becoming one of the highest ranked films of all times. Another landmark film in her career was The Country Girl (1954), where she played the role of a Bing Crosbyâs wife. Her performance led to her receiving the Academy Award for Best Actress, narrowly beating Judy Garland. Her prolific run of successful films continued with her last Hitchcock film â To Catch a Thief (1955), starring with Cary Grant, who later paid tribute to the enjoyment of working with Kelly. Marriage to Prince Rainer III In 1955, she met the Prince of Monaco â Prince Rainer III whilst visiting the principality as part of the Cannes Film Festival. Later in December 1955, Prince Rainer visited America and again met with Grace Kelly. After meeting her family and spending just three days with Grace Kelly, he proposed marriage â which Kelly accepted. The marriage would effectively end Grace Kellyâs film career because marrying into European Royalty, she would undertake many new Royal duties, which precluded being a film star. Kelly had mixed emotions about retiring as an actor. Part of her disliked the Hollywood treadmill, (she had turned down some lucrative film options). She was also critical of many aspects of Hollywood, stating: Dear patriotic American, While liberals are going bananas over police videos⦠Theyâre praying you donât see [this humiliating Biden videoâ¦]( Because Calamity Joe has now put far more American lives at risk. [This video clip]( potentially links Biden to a direct US military confrontation with Russia. âOther women looked on me as a rival. And it pained me a great deal.â and âI hated Hollywood. Itâs a town without pity. Only success counts. I know of no other place in the world where so many people suffer from nervous breakdowns, where there are so many alcoholics, neurotics and so much unhappiness.â But, she also had put a lot of time and effort into training to be an actress. Hitchcock, who eyed Kelly as starring in his future films was particularly disappointed as he loved working with Kelly. Princess Grace of Monaco The wedding took place on April 19, 1956, and was dubbed the âWedding of the Centuryâ generating intense media interest and speculation. Kellyâs family had to provide $2 million as a dowry to marry Prince Rainer. The marriage gave Kelly 142 titles (counterparts of her husbands). Titles which were read out in the ceremony. The title most used was Princess Grace of Monaco; she also received the title ââHer Serene Highness The Princess of Monacoâ. The wedding ceremony was attended by many of greatest celebrities of the day and was watched by record viewing figures on TV. 20,000 people lined the streets of Monaco to see the couple. Her final film âHigh Societyâ (1956) was released that year â filmed during her engagement. The couple had three children â Caroline, Princess of Hanover; Albert, (current ruler of the Principality of Monaco) and Princess Stephanie. Grace_Kelly-prince-albert_1972 Prince Albert and Grace Kelly 1972 After her marriage, she founded AMADE Mondiale, a Monaco based non-governmental organisation. UNESCO describes AMADE as promoting the spiritual well-being of children throughout the world. She also was active in promoting the arts institutions of Monaco and founded the Princess Grace Foundation to support local artists. Grace Kelly played an important role in revitalising Monaco as a centre for culture and the arts. Although moving to Monaco was a big upheaval after her life in Hollywood, Kelly grew into her new role. âBefore my marriage, I didnât think about all the obligations that were awaiting me. My experience has proved useful and I think that I have a natural propensity to feel compassion for people and their problems.â The Princess Grace foundation also aimed to help those with special needs but who were neglected by ordinary social services. Despite her new Royal duties, film directors tried to tempt Kelly out of retirement. In 1962, Hitchcock tried to get Kelly to play the lead role in his film Marnie. It appears Kelly was keen to resume her acting role but was discouraged by public opinion in Monaco and her husband. She never returned to the screen. On 13 September 1982, Grace Kelly was involved in a serious road accident, after having a stroke whilst driving. Losing control of the car, she crashed down a mountainside. She never recovered consciousness and died the following day. Her daughter Stephanie, who was in the car, was injured but survived. She was buried in the Grimaldi family vault on 18 September 1982. 400 international guests attended the funeral, which included representatives from foreign governments and the Hollywood community. At her funeral, James Stewart read a eulogy. âYou 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, Iâll miss her, weâll all miss her, God bless you, Princess Grace.â In 2014, a new film about Kelly entitled âGrace of Monacoâ was released at the Cannes film festival in 2014. Directed by Olivier Dahan it is a controversial biopic of her time as Princess of Monaco.

But she often found the trappings of fame difficult to deal with. âWhen youâre famous you kind of run into human nature in a raw kind of way. It stirs up envy, fame does. People you run into feel that, well, who does she think she is, Marilyn Monroe? They feel fame gives them some kind of privilege to walk up to you and say anything to you, of any kind of nature â and it wonât hurt your feelings â like itâs happening to your clothes not you.â â Marilyn Monroe (A Life of the Actress, 1993) Matt Insley,

[See his full warning here.]( n 1954, she married baseball star Joe DiMaggio, a friend of over two years. Monroe was now one of the biggest box-office draws of Hollywood, but her contract, negotiated in 1950, left her paid less than other stars. Also, Monroe didnât wish to be typecast as a âblonde bombshellâ â just playing simple roles in comedies and musicals. In a dispute over pay and choice of acting, she was temporarily suspended by 20th Century Fox, but eventually, they acceded to some of Monroeâs demands and gave her higher pay. In September 1954, she starred in The Seven Year Itch, which was released to widespread media interest â after a successful media stunt on Lexington Avenue, New York. Monroe-marilyn-In 1955, she sought greater independence from Fox, and began her own movie production and began studying method acting. Despite the media often being dismissive of Monroeâs potential, her efforts to improve acting paid off, and later films received critical acclaim for her wider scope of acting. She was nominated for Golden Globe Best Actress Award for Bus Stop (1956). In 1959, she won a Golden Globe for her role in âSome Like It Hotâ. Her relationship with Joe DiMaggio was quickly strained, due to his jealous and controlling nature. Monroe soon filed for divorce, though the couple retained a friendship despite the divorce. Monroe began dating playwright Arthur Miller and in 1956 married. To get married, Monroe converted to Judaism. The marriage received significant media interest for the combination of Miller the left-wing intellectual and Monroe, the perceived âdumb blondeâ. The marriage was sometimes referred to, rather unkindly, as âEgghead Weds Hourglassâ. To complicate matters, Miller was under investigation for his alleged âCommunist sympathiesâ, and media bosses encouraged Monroe to end the relationship, but Monroe was unmoved. The FBI opened a file on her, worried about the political views of her husband. In the late 1950s, and early 1960, her health began to deteriorate. She suffered from a Barbiturate addiction and experienced periods of depression. Her marriage to Miller broke down, and she had affairs with Yves Montand, Frank Sinatra and others. During the 1960s, her ill health made shooting films challenging, and production was often delayed. She was still in great demand and often appeared on the front cover of glossy magazines. In 1962, she was invited to the White House to sing for J.F. Kennedyâs birthday. Death and legacy Tragically, she died early from an overdose of barbiturates in 1962 aged just 36. Although Monroe cultivated an image of the âdumb blondeâ â in fact, her image and persona was something she took care to cultivate and develop â through the media and the strength of her acting. Although many were dismissive at the time, she took on the powerful Hollywood studio system and, against expectations, developed her acting career with her own intentions. However, behind her confident public persona, she struggled with relationships and resorted to a heavy drug use, which had a damaging impact on both her mental and physical health. In one sense, Monroe lived the American dream â rising from anonymity to become a famous actress, but it was a dream tinged with sadness for fame did not bring peace of mind or happiness.
