She was a successful model and actress before becoming a princess.
Early Life
Born in Philadelphia on November 12, 1929 to parents Jack and Margaret Kelly.
She was the third of four children.
After the war, her parents supported her move to New York to study at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.
Modeling and Acting Career
Discovered by the modeling industry at a young age, known for her "face that could sell anything."
At just 24, she won the Best Actress Oscar in 1954 for her role in *The Country Girl*.
"The thrill of this moment keeps me from saying what I really feel. I can only say “Thank you” with all my heart to all who made this possible for me. Thank you."
Other notable films:
*Fourteen Hours* (1951)
*High Noon* (1952)
*Rear Window* (1954)

Transition to Royalty
In 1955, while filming *To Catch a Thief* in France, she met Prince Rainier of Monaco.
They married in 1956, making her a princess.
The wedding was a major event with 1,600 journalists and 1,100 guests.
Alfred Hitchcock: "I am very happy that Grace has found herself such a good part."
Legacy
Despite her fairy tale life, she remained humble and grounded.
"I don’t see this, though I achieved enough in my career to stand up more than many other people. I was very lucky in my career and I loved it and ... But I don’t think I was accomplished enough as an actor to be remembered for that particularly. I would like to be remembered as trying to do my job well, of being understanding and kind. You know, I’d like to be remembered as a decent human being."
She died tragically in a car accident in 1982.
Grace Kelly remains an enduring icon of beauty, talent, and grace.
