There are names of Hollywood actresses inscribed in golden letters in the history of cinema. That is exactly Grace Kelly. Her acting career was quite short-lived - only six years old, and yet an amazingly talented woman received important awards for her services: Golden Globes and Oscars. She quickly became popular internationally, played roles in famous films, well-praised by the public. And in 1956 she became the wife of the prince.
Amazing fate
Creativity was an element of Grace Kelly. She played in 40 dramatic productions. Grace has become a symbol of the Golden Age of Television. She happened to work with some key male stars of her era. Her partners on the set were Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and James Stewart. She passed away 25 years ago, but her legacy and her memory are still alive. The tale of the incredible actress does not lose its brilliance, although over time rumors leaked that the celebrity’s marriage was not as successful as it seemed to contemporaries.
Story context
Perhaps Grace would not have become a princess, if not for her family. Her parents are immigrants from Germany, for whom education and family values came first. The mother of the future princess was a teacher of physical education and became the first woman to train the women's athletic team of the university. In the 24th, she refused to work in order to concentrate on her family. She had four children. Grace was third. She happened to study at a prestigious Catholic school especially for girls. Mom hoped that her daughter would get a better education, but the girl had poor math scores, so she could not go to the college that her parents dreamed about. Grace's father worked for a firm that made money on a construction boom. Thanks to its stable financial situation, children have gained access to the best clubs and schools. A smart businessman, he was also a passionate athlete and won medals three times in the Olympics for rowing. He became the first in his direction and today remains one of the most famous athletes in the world. In many ways, Grace followed in her father's footsteps, putting all her strength into her passion, but to the movies.

About love
In the 55th, Grace was invited to work on Hitchcock's painting “Catch a Thief”. It was then that she first met Rainier the Third, Prince of Monaco. The film was shot on the French Riviera. The eminent person fell in love with the actress from the first moment. Kelly understood that she could become a princess, but was not interested in this opportunity and did not greatly encourage Rainier's courtship. He began to correspond with the star. Kelly was rich, her titles did not attract her, so courtship was not easy for the prince in love. However, less than a year of correspondence passed, and the prince appeared in Philadelphia with a proposal to marry. He was accompanied by a priest and a doctor. Father Grace gave his consent. Kelly needed to be examined first - only after that she could become the wife of a titled person. Rainier needed to know that she could give birth to children. If after the marriage the couple did not have heirs, the Principality of Monaco would pass under the power of France. Doctors soon discovered that Grace could have children, so the prince handed her a wedding ring with a 12-carat diamond.

What wedding!

Incredibly beautiful by nature, she chose an outfit that was breathtaking. 30 seamstresses worked on the manufacture of the dress. It took six weeks in the studio. An outfit with a high collar, lace sleeves, a large skirt and a huge veil was complemented by a prayer book with pearls and a bouquet of lilies of the valley. Shoes for the bride came up with David Evins. He hid a penny in his right heel - for good luck. For a private ceremony, the bride put on a beautiful plain Helen Rose skirt.
Everyone who wanted to see the event could not fit in the church, so the ceremony was broadcast on TV. The wedding was already called the most extravagant of all time.
