Grace Patricia Kelly or ostentatiously known as Grace Kelly was a former American actress known for her roles in Mogambo, The Country Girl, High Noon, Rear Window, Dial M For Murder, High Society, and To Catch A Thief, among many others. Kelly was crowned as the Princess of Monaco after tying the knot with Prince Rainier III of Monaco. Kelly has also been nominated for a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award nomination. The decade of the 50s saw Kelly feature in over 40 episodes of stage plays.

Kelly comes from a family of cognoscenti, and was born to parents, John B. Kelly, and Margaret Katherine Majer, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Kelly’s father was a three-time Olympic Gold medalist in Sculling, and her mother was the first female at the University of Pennsylvania to coach the women’s athletics team.

In 1962, Kelly was offered a lead female role in the Alfred Hitchcock-directed Marnie, but she turned it down following an outcry in Monaco among the masses. A few years later, Kelly served as the narrator for the ABC Network-produced television film, The Poppy Is Also A Flower.

 Unfortunately in 1982, Kelly met with a fatal accident after having suffered a stroke while driving. September 14th, 1982 marked Kelly’s funeral at the Saint Nicholas Cathedral in Monaco.
