Quotes from Grace herself:
How can I bring up my daughters not to have an affair with a married man, when I was having affairs with married men all the time?"
"I've had happy moments in my life, but I don't think that happiness-- being happy-- is a perpetual state that anyone can be in. Life isn't that way."
"A person has to keep something to herself or your life is just a layout in a magazine."
"I'll be goddamned if I'm going to stay in a business where I have to get up earlier and earlier and it takes longer and longer for me to get in front of a camera."
"As an unmarried woman, I was thought to be a danger. Other women looked on me as a rival. And it pained me a great deal."
"I don’t want to dress up a picture with just my face. If anybody starts using me as scenery, I’ll return to New York."
"Women's natural role is to be a pillar of the family."
"Emancipation of women has made them lose their mystery."

More quotes from Grace. Same source
"I don't want to be married to someone who feels inferior to my success or because I make more money than he does."
"I don't like yelling and fighting, and I can't quarrel. Getting angry doesn't solve anything."
"For a woman, forty is torture, the end. I think turning forty is miserable."

Trivia about Grace:
Grace and Alfred Hitchcock were soulmates who were involved in a very intense love affair of the mind. After she deserted him for marriage, he called her Princess Disgrace.
----------
After accepting Rainier's proposal, Grace called her friends to tell them she was engaged to be married but hung up before telling them who the man was. The consensus was Oleg Cassini. No one suyspected Prince Rainier.
----------
Princess Grace first met French president de Gaulle on a state visit to Paris in 1959. To prepare for the trip, she had sent to the library for a copy of the general's memoirs. However, when she saw how huge the volume was she asked a secretary to provide her with a résumé.
When Grace first arrived back in New York after her marriage to Prince Rainier, she was carrying a large, almost square handbag that she had purchased on the journey from Hermès in Paris. The bag was derived from a piece of luggage once used to carry bridles and riding tack, and it became known henceforward as the Kelly bag.

When Grace picked up the 1954 Academy Award for her performance in The Country Girl, Judy Garland-- who was nominated for A Star Is Born-- didn't bother to hide her opinion that she had been gypped, sniffing at the thought of Grace Kelly "taking off her ****ing makeup and grabbing MY Oscar."
----------
Legend has it that Marilyn Monroe's engagement congratulations to Grace ran, "So glad you've found a way out of this business."
----------
When people speak of Grace Kelly as one of the classic faces of her era, it's usually a Howell Conant photograph they are thinking of. His images of Grace vacationing in Jamaica in 1955 caused a sensation and were the making of Conant's career. It was also the beginning of an extraordinary collaboration between subject and photographer that lasted until her death in 1982.
----------
Grace put her foot down when MGM wanted to hire a voice double to sing True Love in the 1956 movie High Society. She insisted on singing her own track and made a fool out of her critics, because the record-- a ballad performed with co-star Bing Crosby-- didn't just go Gold, it went Platinum.

More from Divas:
She wasn't a good driver and hated to drive a car.
----------
The location for the 1953 movie Mogambo was full of tall Watusis, beautiful warriors who had been hired as extras, wearing their breechclouts. Grace and co-star Ava Gardner were walking along, and Ava said to Grace, "I wonder if their cocks are as big as people say? Have you ever seen a black c*ck?" With that, she reached over and pulled up the breechclout of one of the Watusis, who gave a big grin as this huge **** flopped out. By then Grace had turned absolutely blue. Ava let go of the breechclout, turned to Grace, and said, "Frank's bigger than that."
----------
Gary Cooper said of her that, "She looked like she was a cold dish with a man until you got her pants down, then she'd explode."
----------
Plunged 120 feet to her death in 1982 after her brakes failed. Ironically, the accident happened in the place where she had shot a scene from To Catch A Thief (1955) 27 years before.

The inscription at her burial site in the Cathedral of St. Nicholas, Monte Carlo, Monaco, does not refer to her as a princess. It uses the title Uxor Principis (prince's wife), which is traditional in the House of Grimaldi.

In High Society (1956) she recreated Katharine Hepburn's The Philadelphia Story role as Tracy Lord.
