Grace Kelly was born in Philadelphia into a remarkable family of Irish Catholics from the wrong side of the tracks. Her grandfather was an immigrant bricklayer, her father a successful house-builder (and also, like her brother, a gold-medal winning Olympic oarsman). Her uncle George Kelly was a successful playwright, while her cousin John Lehman Jr. became a US Secretary of the Navy.
In 1947, after high school graduation, Grace went to New York and became a model. She made her debut on Broadway in 1949 and began to get work in television. She next moved to Los Angeles, in
More 1951 appearing in her first film. Her movie career was crowned with an Oscar for Best Actress for The Country Girl (1954). High Society (1956) turned out to be Grace's last appearance as an actress, as she had met and married Prince Rainier III of Monaco, a tiny Mediterranean principality famous chiefly as an international gambling centre. For the rest of her life, she was in the spotlight in her new role as Princess Grace. On September 14, 1982, she was killed in an accident on a cliff road in Monaco. She left behind three children, Caroline, Stephanie, and Albert, one of whom (Stephanie) had survived the fatal road accident. Grace Kelly's final resting place is in St Nicholas's Cathedral, Monte Carlo, where she lies under an inscription in Latin.

    She was absolutely perfect! hide show

    Grace Kelly was one of the most amazing human being ever existed on earth.. I just think she was perfect.. First of all I love all of her movies, and I think that she was very talented.. she was a goddess on the screen; after she married Prince Ranieri she had to give-up her career to became a Princess. She's always been so kind and gentle with all the people, and that's may be one of the reason of why she is still remembered from a lot of people.. Her death, 25 years ago, shocked the world.. That day we lost one of the greatest people ever..

    Grace Kelly was an amazing actress and a beautiful woman. hide show

    I have seen many of Grace's films, and I loved all of them. She always gave her films a touch of class and glamour while still amazing audiences with her incredible acting ability. Grace Kelly lived a wonderful life. She made it into Hollywood, and became one of the all time great actresses, and then found love with her husband, Prince Rainer of Monacco, and then had family with him, adding more happiness to her life. Grace has been terribly missed since her death in the eighties, but her talent will live on in Hollywood and all around the world.
