(Princess) Grace Kelly

[GerryT]

Definitely she was one of the most beautiful women ever filmed and dominated film in the early to mid 50s. Of course, she retired after marrying Prince Rainier in 1956. Even up to her death at age 52, her elegant beauty was evident.

She left a wonderful film legacy behind, and the films she made for Hitchco*k (Rear Window, Dial M for Murder and To Catch a Thief) defined the cool blonde heroine. Hitchco*k became obsessed with her image, and his later leading ladies were also blondes (Doris Day, Kim Novak, Eva Marie Saint, etc.).

Hitchco*k tried to convince Grace to make Vertigo and Marnie for him, but she was already Her Serene Highness and retired from films. She kept her promise to Rainier and declined.

One of my all time favorite actresses! When I was blonde and younger people used to say I looked like her-quite the compliment All class too

One of my favorites! So beautiful and a wonderful screen presence. Check out High Society (remake of Philadelphia STory).

I recently saw High Society again. Lot of fun.

180 turn from the first film she did with Bing Crosby called The Country Girl. He had alcohl problems and she was his wife. Great performance for which she won an Oscar.
