Interview with exhibition curator
Frédéric Mitterrand
1- This is the first time Grace Kelly's story is being told through such a major exhibition embracing all the facets of her life. How are you addressing this experience? What is the paramount idea guiding your "narration"?
F Mitterrand: I am addressing this experience with the greatest candour. I think we all have an idea of what a wonderful person Princess Grace was but at the same time that idea has been frozen for 25 years and is limited to a few powerful, beautiful, moving images that perhaps do not sufficiently express her diverse and complex personality.
The paramount idea behind this exhibition is to illustrate the best known facets of her life but also to show all the parts of it we no longer think about but that make her even more engaging and human.
We also want to incite the realisation that Princess Grace indeed generously personified an era of happiness and glamorously embodied a time of elegance, but she was also concerned by the sufferings of her times and the schisms in the milieus she had experienced.
Princess Grace has become one of the loveliest icons of the 20th century; this exhibition should make us understand why.
2- What do you feel are the strong points of this unique exhibition?
F Mitterrand: There is a considerable number of very interesting items to exhibit, including a fabulous wardrobe that has been carefully conserved and a portfolio of photographs far more varied than the same old ones that have always been published since her death; Princess Grace was photographed by the greatest photographers of her day yet those pictures seem to have been drowned in the ocean of press photos.
We shall also be displaying a vast and diverse range of items that illustrate the particular art of living she inspired: decorative objects, personal belongings, jewellery, lingerie etc, not to mention her famous paintings of flowers, of course.
One of the big surprises of this exhibition will undoubtedly be the innumerable magnificent letters she exchanged with all sorts of remarkable people; the very carefully conceived exhibition design means everyone will now be able to read them.
3- How have the exhibits been chosen and why was it decided to use predominantly audiovisual display aids?
F Mitterrand: Film is of course a major feature, the Hollywood movies she made and all the other film relating to her career (screen tests, advertising, interviews, news reels) but also all the photo journals and the cinema press that followed her until the end.
But we may also show, for the first time, a selection of home movies that Princess Grace herself filmed; these clearly communicate the royal family's loving family life.
We shall also be showing amateur films shot by Monegasques; these help emphasise the importance of the work Princess Grace consistently devoted to the Principality.
We shall be installing numerous screens throughout the exhibition to show all this film.
4- How do you hope visitors will feel when they leave The Grace Kelly Years?
F Mitterrand: I would like visitors to understand even more deeply and consistently to how great an extent Princess Grace was what we call "a good person, an example for her time but also for the generations to come".
I would also like them to realise how successfully she managed to reconcile several different lives in one: that of a loving and loved wife, of a mother extremely attached and attentive to her children, of a movie star and artist, of a princess accustomed to frequenting the great and good of this world and devoted to Monaco, and of a sensitive and sometimes fragile woman striving to realise an ideal.
To create this portrait of a remarkable woman my team and I are blessed with one outstanding asset: the unwavering support of HSH Prince Albert and the Princesses Caroline and Stéphanie, who have opened wide the doors of the Palace and of its treasure trove of archives never previously displayed to the public.

This charity was set up by Princess Grace in 1964 to support two activities that are still flourishing today.
The Académie de Danse Classique trains gifted young dancers in the great tradition of Russian classical ballet and ensures they also receive a good school education.
The two Boutiques du Rocher promote quality local handicrafts.
These attractively designed shops in Monte-Carlo (1 Avenue de la Madone) and Monaco-Ville (11 Rue Emile de Loth and 36 Rue Comte Félix Gastaldi) take handcrafted items on deposit from local craftspeople, thereby enabling them to earn a regular income. The shops sell the work of around 30 craftspeople to a clientele composed of both visitors and residents.
Seven years ago HRH the Princess of Hanover set up a personalised embroidery service based on the remarkable model of the Pénélope association in Paris.
This new service is provided by staff attached to the Foundation, using sophisticated equipment.
Prince Rainier III wished to continue and complement his wife's work so in 1984 he established the Princess Grace Irish Library to promote Irish culture, which had been very dear to Princess Grace's heart.
Later HRH the Princess of Hanover added two further activities to the Foundation's remit.
Humanitarian aid for children
Support for children hospitalised in 40 French hospitals; renovation of and equipment for paediatric units in France and abroad; financial support for four research laboratories specialising in children's diseases.
Culture
Grants for young dancers attending the Académie de Danse Classique and young musicians attending the Académie de Musique Rainier III; a financial contribution to the Fondation Prince Pierre's Contemporary Art Prize; subsidies for young dancers invited to the Monaco Dance Forum.

Hermes.com
In the 1930s, Robert Dumas designed a handbag for women the strap-closure system of which was inspired by that of a saddle carrying bag from the late nineteenth century. This model was rapidly adopted by Hermès clients.
In 1958, Grace Kelly, young Princess of Monaco, appeared on the cover of an American magazine carrying this bag, which she owned in several sizes and different colours. Since then the success of the Kelly bag has been unfailing.
It takes a qualified craftsman approximately eighteen hours to produce a classic model.
Over the years, exceptional versions have been created for the display windows of Hermès stores: Kellys in wood, organdy, plexiglass, embroidered by Lesage, and a giant one measuring 1.70 metres high by 1.60 metres wide. Many of these versions will be on display in the exhibition.
In the year 2000, the year of the Hermès theme “The First Steps into the New Century”, the Kellydoll, a Kelly bag with a sense of humour complete with a cheerful smile, arms and legs, was created.
In 2004, Hermès revisited the Kelly and introduced the Mini Kelly clutch bag at the presentation of the first women’s ready-to-wear collection by Jean Paul Gaultier (autumn-winter 2004).
Very recently, for the spring-summer 2007 women’s ready-to-wear runway show, Hermès played with this great classic once again, creating the Kelly Flat: a Kelly reinvented in a totally unstructured saddle-stitched version, soft, rolled and tied with a belt that replaces the straps.

Hotel de Paris
THE SOCIETE DES BAINS DE MER (SBM)
Since its creation more than 100 years ago, the Société des Bains de Mer has remained loyal to its desire for plurality and innovation, and aims for excellence in all the domains in which it is active; leisure and business tourism, gastronomy and prestigious hotels, culture, casinos, wellness and top level sports. Its heritage - unique in the world, its international influence, its immense savoir-faire, its unique style blending glamour and fashion, and its legendary courtesy win the admiration of its clients, from wherever they come.
Talent scout and unfailing supporter of artistic creation (the Opera, Monte-Carlo Ballets, Philharmonic Orchestra, Spring Arts Festival, Monte-Carlo Dance Forum, Monte-Carlo Jazz Festival...), the Société des Bains de Mer has, over many years, built up world references in all art disciplines by supporting prestigious cultural events. So, as one would expect, the S.B.M. has forged a partnership with the Grimaldi Forum for the Summer 2007 exhibition — “The Grace Kelly Years” — an exclusive international event and a fabulously well-documented tribute to the unforgettable Princess of Monaco.
On 15 April 1956, Miss Grace Patricia Kelly married HSH Prince Rainier III in Monaco. This event covered by all the world's media opened a new and most brilliant chapter in the history of the Principality. The happiness of this couple, one of the 20th century's most famous, laid the foundations for Monaco's extraordinary metamorphosis in just a few decades. Alongside Prince Rainier III, Monaco's Builder Prince, Princess Grace devoted herself body and soul to the country that love had made hers, with the natural distinction, spontaneous gaiety, wonderful generosity and strength of character that none have forgotten.
Among other things this dazzling woman revived Monaco's great balls and through her unfailing presence and unforgettable smile transfigured all the great festive and cultural events masterminded by the Société des Bains de Mer. Under her presidency both the Red Cross Gala and the Rose Ball that traditionally opens the Monte-Carlo season immediately took on a new lustre and their charitable vocation was emphasised even more.
On 31 May 1959 Princess Grace inaugurated the Hôtel de Paris's Le Grill restaurant, the first to serve sublime gourmet cuisine poised between heaven and earth on the legendary luxury hotel's top eighth floor. The alchemy of prestige and creativeness that has forged the Société des Bains de Mer's identity since its founding won the Princess over; from then on she never failed to honour with her radiant presence the prestigious events that took place in the establishments run by this company with a heritage unique in the whole world.
One of these was the magnificent Empire Ball that in May 1966 metamorphosed the Casino terraces and Salle Garnier in a splendorous celebration of the Centenary of Monte-Carlo. Another was the memorable Scorpio Ball (15 November 1969) held to celebrate Princess Grace's 40th birthday, in a Hermitage Bar flamboyantly decorated for the occasion where the radiant Princess was surrounded by her many famous friends, including Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor; for this fabulous evening the legendary Cleopatra wore her very latest gift from Burton, one of the world's largest diamonds.
Another celebration was held in a more unusual place when for her 20th wedding anniversary in April 1976 Princess Grace chose the exceptional setting of the Hôtel de Paris's wine cellars (still available today). A superb dinner was served to a handful of very special guests enthralled by the hundreds of thousands of bottles forming the decor for their succulent banquet.
Princess Grace liked to take up her summer quarters at the Beach Club, the absolutely heavenly prestige establishment that the Société des Bains de Mer had created in the 1930s and which still conserves all its natural charm and luxury having adapted perfectly to modern demands. Its sea sports, beach, immense swimming pool and delicious food provide the ultimate in summer pleasures. The royal family come here regularly.
A short distance away, the Société des Bains de Mer instigated the construction in the 1970s of an outstanding complex on the site of the Sporting Club, that delightful venue much frequented in the 1950s. A titanic construction programme that included wresting a few hectares from the sea resulted in an extraordinarily elegant and futuristic ensemble, a combination of cutting-edge design and the very latest technology standing on a dream peninsula. At its centre, an extraordinary auditorium with a ceiling that opens up to the star-studded sky where all the greatest stars on the international circuit dream of performing, a casino, wonderful restaurants and a discotheque that has become a jet-set must: the famed Jimmy’z. So the Sporting Monte-Carlo was born, inaugurated in 1974 by HSH Prince Rainier III and Princess Grace. Its opening heralded a new era for Monaco's summer season, increasingly renowned for the exceptional, high-quality entertainments it offers.

With the summer season being the right time to welcome many visitors from all over the world, either staying or day tripping in the Principality, the Department of Tourism and Conferences has developed a trail through the city retracing the aspects most representative of Princess Grace’s activities. This trail supports “The Grace Kelly Years, Princess of Monaco" exhibition which takes place at the Grimaldi Forum Monaco between the 12th July and 23rd September 2007.
The itinerary is made up of 25 stages with commentary in five languages (French, English, Italian, German and Japanese) and has been designed to cover this extraordinary reflective journey all over Monaco, from east to west and should not be missed for any reason!
The trail aims to allow the Principality to be discovered from an unusual angle, while paying respectful tribute to things that have made Monaco an international destination known as much for its way of life as for its actions for humanitarian causes. In particular, Princess Grace was behind the creation of AMADE (The World Association for Children’s Friends), she was also the initiative for organisations relating to the world of Culture and Arts such as the Princess Grace Academy for Classical Dance, supported by the Foundation of the same name or even the Garden Club.
This stroll also presents the opportunity to visit many tourist sites in Monaco, such as museums, gardens, the sculpture trail and to enjoy gourmet stops in one of our multiple restaurants, “starred” or not. The places for well-being and spas are never too far away for a well deserved relaxing break to recover from the inevitable shopping trip. Finally, there is nothing to stop you extending your stay by spending the night in one of our welcoming and modern hotels! An original and exceptional opportunity to discover or rediscover Monaco from June 2007 to March 2008, swept along by an elegant walk for a meeting with Princess Grace, a surprising and mythical figure in the modern history of this Sovereign State.

Thanks for that set kochie and taking the time to scans all those pictures you've been posting throughout the thread. Grace always did wear very interesting hats although I can't say I'm a fan of that white hat she's wearing. 
scriptgirl, thanks for the pictures of Grace's clothes, jewellery etc. Everything looks so beautiful.

Quotes from and about Grace
"I was never happy in Hollywood. There, everything is distorted by the importance people give to money."
"She never distanced herself from others. Even so, as soon as she came on set, everyone fell silent." - Cary Grant
"I came to success very quickly. Perhaps too quickly to value its importance."
"Grace would have loved to run off and be married in a simple little chapel in the mountains. This unrealistic idea really enchanted me." - Prince Rainier
"Up to now, Grace has progressed with the ease of a trapezist. What I don't know is if the platform on which she has landed is not too narrow for her." - Alfred Hitchcock
"The publicity created around my brand image, made exemplary above others, sometimes annoyed me enormously. It's tiresome to be always cited as an example."
"There are many little ways to enlarge your child's world. Love of books is the best of all."
"The freedom of the press is such that it deprives individuals of their own."
"As an unmarried woman, I was thought to be a danger. Other women looked at me as a rival. And it pained me a great deal. But I avoided confiding in anyone and talking about my plans. One shouldn't talk about the future, it's the best way to mess it up."
"Of course, I think about marriage, but my career is still the most important thing for me. If I interrupt it now to get married, because I don't believe in a part-time family life, I would risk passing the rest of my existence wondering whether or not I would have been able to become a great actress."
"The studios are tenacious. When they want someone or something, they always get it in the end. I ended up signing a contract with MGM. I signed because they offered me the chance of shooting in Africa, but I signed it at the desk of the airport, when the engines of the plane were already turning."
"I hated Hollywood. It's a town without pity. Only success counts. I know of no other place in the world where so many people suffer from nervous breakdowns, where there are so many alcoholics, neurotics, and so much unhappiness."
"I've been accused of being cold, snobbish, distant. Those who know me well know that I'm nothing of the sort. If anything, the opposite is true. But is it too much to ask to want to protect your private life, your inner feelings? Lots of things touch me and I don't want to be indiscreet."
"My real difficulty was to become a normal person again, after having been a movie actress for so long. For me, at the time I was living in New York and Hollywood, a normal person was someone who made movies."
"Fairy tales tell imaginary stories. Me, I'm a living person. I exist. If the story of my life as a real woman were to be told one day, people would at last discover the real being that I am."
"As an actress, I'd always thought I wanted to play a wide assortment of parts, but in life, once I agreed to be a princess, I was typecast."

"I hated Hollywood. It's a town without pity. Only success counts. I know of no other place in the world where so many people suffer from nervous breakdowns, where there are so many alcoholics, neurotics, and so much unhappiness."
"I've been accused of being cold, snobbish, distant. Those who know me well know that I'm nothing of the sort. If anything, the opposite is true. But is it too much to ask to want to protect your private life, your inner feelings? Lots of things touch me and I don't want to be indiscreet."
"My real difficulty was to become a normal person again, after having been a movie actress for so long. For me, at the time I was living in New York and Hollywood, a normal person was someone who made movies."
