Year of Birth: 1929
Grace Patricia Kelly, also known as Grace de Monaco, was born on November 12, 1929, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was the daughter of a wealthy industrialist and a former model, which sparked her interest in acting and the arts from a young age.
After studying at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Grace began her career in acting on stage and in television. Her breakthrough came when she starred in the film "Mogambo" in 1953, which earned her critical acclaim and established her as a leading lady in Hollywood.
In 1956, Grace met Prince Rainier III of Monaco at the Cannes Film Festival and they fell in love. The two were married in a lavish ceremony the following year, and she became Princess Grace of Monaco.
During her time as a princess, Grace focused on philanthropy and charity work, becoming a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and working to improve the lives of children around the world. She was also known for her impeccable style and grace, becoming a fashion icon in her own right.
Tragically, Grace de Monaco passed away on September 14, 1982, after suffering a stroke while driving. Her legacy as a beloved actress and princess lives on, as she continues to be remembered for her talent, beauty, and grace.
Grace de Monaco will always be remembered as a true Hollywood icon and a beloved princess who brought elegance and sophistication to the world stage.
