Grace Kelly

Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco was an American actress who became Princess of Monaco after she married Prince Rainier III in 1956. Princess Grace Kelly is remembered as a style icon and one of the most glamorous women of her time; to this day, she still serves as a fashion inspiration for many young ladies around the globe.

Kelly appeared in 11 films between 1950 and 1956, including three with famed director Alfred Hitchcock. She starred in several notable films, including Mogambo (1953), Dial M for Murder (1954), Rear Window (1954), and High Society (1956). She won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in The Country Girl (1954); also, her performance in the film "High Noon" earned her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress.

After marrying Prince Rainier, Kelly largely retired from acting and became a full-time royal. In April 1962, Kelly attracted worldwide attention after her 17-year-old daughter, Princess Caroline, was born. Since then, the couple had had three children together: Caroline, Albert, and Stephanie.

Kelly died in 1982 at the age of 52 after suffering a stroke while driving. Her daughter Princess Stephanie was in the car with her at the time and was badly injured in the accident.
