She was more than an actress; Grace Kelly took beauty and fame to a whole other level when she became the Princess of Monaco. And she became the embodiment of her own name.

But she was more than just a pretty face.

Grace Kelly… more than just a Classic Movie Actress

At Grace Kelly’s funeral, a touching eulogy was read by actor James Stewart, who said ‘You know, I just love Grace Kelly. Not because she was a princess, not because she was an actress, not because she was my friend, but because she was just about the nicest lady I ever met’.

Above and beyond the perfect Princess hostess, she was a talented actress. Hitchcock loved her for a reason.

“It was thanks to Alfred Hitchcock that I understood that murder scenes should be shot like love scenes and love scenes like murder scenes.”
― Grace Kelly
