Grace Patricia Kelly was born on the 12th of
November 1929 in Pennsylvania, USA. And unfortunately died on the 14th
of September 1982 in Monaco, caused by a stroke and resulting car crash, RIP. As
famous as she was a Hollywood actor, Kelly is also renowned for being the
Princess of Monaco and being married to Prince Rainier 3rd. However the audience was captivated during her
short time as an actress due to her gorgeous looks, feminine charm and general
Femme Fatale traits. She won a Golden Globe and Academy award in only around 6
years of filming as at 26 she retired from being an actress to focus on her
roles as a Princess. She had both American and Monegasque citizenships, and was
also in 1999 The American Film Institute awarded her as the 13th
best female actress of all time.
