Grace Kelly

^ Thanks kochie, those were fun to look at :) I especially loved the one of her magazine covers, how I'd love to own one.

Saw Dial M for Murder the other day and was so impressed with Grace's performance. People are always saying she wasn't a good actress but I think she had some fabulous moments in that movie.
 
i think she is a wonderful actress. she just has this presence that is hard to duplicate
hey she even won an oscar :)
 
I love Grace! There's something really regal (literally) and classy about her. :crush: And on top of that, she's beautiful and a fantastic actress.
 
I just learned that a company is putting out some wonderful new DVDs on great Hollywood actors. This was released earlier this year. :heart: I want a subscription to the whole series!!!

Hollywood Collection: Grace Kelly, THE AMERICAN PRINCESS.

She came from a wealthy and competitive Philadelphia family, but the life of well-brought up society held little appeal for this acclaimed beauty. She left for New York City and worked hard as a model, stage actor and TV player. Then she was discovered by Hollywood. In less than four years she was acknowledged as one of movie's most sought after stars, an Academy-Award winner, playing opposite some of the greatest leading men of her time.

Suddenly, like a modern-day fairy tale, Grace Kelly turned her back on it all -- to become Her Serene Highness Princess Grace of Monaco. Now her story is told in home movies and clips from films like High Noon, Dial M For Murder, Rear Window, To Catch A Thief, and High Society. Also seen, touching and revealing glimpses from the magnificent wedding to the tragic end. Actors Jimmy Stewart, Louis Jourdan, Alec Guinness, Katy Jurado, with directors, producers, friends and Grace's sister, Lizanne, tell of the beautiful star who made the world her stage. Narrated by Richard Kiley.

it just came out, on the magazine it says "DISPLAY UNTIL 12/10/07" so hopefully the sellers will stick with that date
