Grace Kelly… When you look at photographs from her days working with director Alfred Hitchcock or her wedding to Prince Rainier III, you fully understand what the phrase “dazzling beauty” means. Grace truly dazzles: refined, perfect, and incredibly aristocratic. That’s exactly how real princesses should look. But by birth, Grace Kelly wasn’t an aristocrat. And yet she married a prince and ascended the throne of the small but real principality of Monaco. Everything is just like in a real fairy tale. But fairy tales usually have a happy ending, while in Grace’s life melodrama there were many dramas—and the fairy tale ended tragically.
The reasons for Kelly’s death are still not fully revealed: the government of Monaco did everything to deflect suspicion from her younger daughter, Princess Stéphanie… But the Grace melodrama continues to this day: her children—Caroline, Albert, and Stéphanie—are favorite figures of the yellow press, and biographers find more and more facts from the life of Grace Kelly—one of the most famous beauties of the 20th century, a woman who seemed like a magical creature.
