Grace Kelly – American Royalty

January 10, 2019 @ 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM

Grace Kelly had a very short, luminous and wonderful career as a movie star. In her 11 films, she starred alngside some of the most famous leading men of her time, including Gary Cooper, (High Noon) WIlliam Holden, (The Country Girl, for which she won the Oscar) Cary Grant (To Catch a Thief) Jimmy Stewart (Rear Window) Clark Gable,, (Mogambo) and Frank Sinatra (High Scoiety). Her work on screen speaks for itself. Behind the scenes, her love life was tumultuous. She had affairs with Gable, Cooper, Crosby, Holden and others – to the point where the studio had to quash “homewrecker” stories.

To the public, Grace Kelly was referred to as “Hollywood Royalty. She had the carriage, poise and looks of a  princess/ And then, perhaps ordianed by fate, the glamorous movie queen became a real life princess!

The wedding of Grace Kelly to handsome and dashing Prince Ranier of Monaco  was one
of the biggest media events of the twentieth century. The spectacular marriage ceremony was followed by a new career – as an American who had become royalty. 

She had a difficult marriage and suffered from giving up her career. But Princess Grace Kelly was adored by the people of Monaco as she devoted herself to charitable work and the duties as a royal princess and loving mother. Her tragic death shocked the world. The people of Monaco still mourn her, as do classic film fans around the world.

Don’t miss this extraordinary life story!
