Princess Grace of Monaco, 16 September 1956.
Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco, died on September 13, 1982 after suffering a stroke while driving with her daughter Princess Stéphanie. The stroke caused her to drive her vehicle down a mountainside, leading to serious injuries. Princess Grace died the next day. She was 52.
Born Grace Patricia Kelly in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on November 12, 1929, Kelly was an Academy Award-winning American actress who became Her Serene Highness The Princess of Monaco upon her marriage to Rainier III, Prince of Monaco.
Kelly is known for her roles in Alfred Hitchcock movies like Dial M for Murder, Rear Window, and To Catch a Thief. She received an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as Bing Crosby's wife in The Country Girl.
Grace Kelly is remembered as an eminent actress in American film, though her career in Hollywood spanned just five years and eleven films.
Kelly met Prince Rainier III at a photo session for the 1955 Cannes Film Festival at the Palace of Monaco. The two married on April 4, 1956, their wedding dubbed "The Wedding of the Century" by the press. The 40-minute civil ceremony, broadcast across Europe from the Palace Throne Room, was watched by an estimated 100 million viewers worldwide. The couple had three children.
After her royal marriage, the prince banned the screening of her films. Though she was offered several parts, public outcry and pressure from her husband made her reconsider. The princess formed the Princess Grace Foundation in Monaco to support local artists.
In 1993, she became the first American actress to appear on a U.S. postage stamp. Commemorative coins were issued on July 1, 2007 to honour the 25th anniversary of her death.

sporting news2. The Pom Squad. The Texas Pom Squad features women wearing hot pants and chaps. Jimmy Stewart was once asked if he found Grace Kelly attractive after working with her in Rear Window, to which he replied, "Hey, I'm married, but I'm not dead, you know." Ditto, sir.

red Zinneman's High Noon features such cinema luminaries as Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly in roles that helped to define their careers. Cooper stars as Marshal Will Kane, a man who finds himself alone against some mean varmints when the people of the town he protects turns yellow. Kane's troubles are compounded by the fact that he's not only protecting the cowardly town but also his new wife, Amy (Kelly). As you can guess, High Noon is a classic western of the highest order. Beginning with an event that will set the stage for the whole movie, this is the kind of film that keeps raising the ante of tension until the film's final denouement.
While many westerns were made, High Noon is one that effortlessly stands head and shoulders above a lot of them.
Disc 1:
Audio Commentary
Featured on this track are Maria Cooper-Janis, Jonathan Foreman, Tim Zinnemann and John Ritter. All of these participants lend something interesting to the proceedings as they all come at it from different angles with different histories. The bottom line is that the listener gets to hear about about multiple aspects of High Noon's production, as well as interesting anecdotes about both Cooper and Kelly.
Disc 2:
Featurettes
The second disc of this release offers up the following featurettes:
- Inside High Noon
- Portrait Piece on the Tex Ritter Museum
- The Making of High Noon
- Behind High Noon
I put all of these featurettes together because I think they covered a lot of the same ground. They all offer a glimpse into some behind the scenes aspect of this film. Whether it's a look at the production itself, or a particular actor or production executive who was involved in its making, everything was done with a strong sense of what fans and cinema historians would want to see.

CLOUD of chocolate brown hair extensions fills half the cover of February's UK edition of Vogue. It's a hallowed space, normally reserved for the world's top supermodels and most stylish women. This issue, which hits the newsstands on Thursday, features a footballer's wife and girlband member more familiar with fake tan and false eyelashes than haute couture.
Cheryl Cole was the celebrity success story of 2008. The 25-year-old member of Girls Aloud went from council-estate princess to national sweetheart at the precise moment a single tear trickled down her perfectly made-up cheek after one contestant recounted a particularly harrowing sob-story during the initial auditions for The X Factor.
The down-to-earth Geordie lass – who was asked to join the judging panel for the televised singing competition by the programme's creator, Simon Cowell – was a hit from the beginning, with her megawatt smile and heart of gold.
Caring and sweet, Cole came across as being a true girls' girl, largely unaffected by the fame and fortune that has come her way and mesmerisingly beautiful, albeit in a heavily made-up way.
Gone were the tracksuits, trucker caps and hoop earrings of the early days, replaced by a sexy and often chic take on high-street trends. She swapped the sportswear for neat blazers, the urban cornrows for a perky ponytail and the fake tan for… well, the fake tan stayed put (you can take the gal out of Newcastle and all that), but the overall look was prettier and comparatively sophisticated. Instantly, women wanted to be her, men wanted to be with her and we all wanted to be her best friend.
But still, how has she made it to the cover of Vogue? She's been featured repeatedly in various states of undress in FHM and is a firm favourite with readers of Heat magazine, but Vogue is the country's biggest fashion magazine and a high-end fashion icon Cheryl Cole is not. Even her rival über-Wag, Victoria Beckham, only managed to land herself on the cover of the style bible in April last year, after 12 years in the public eye and a successful career move into fashion designing.
Julian Bennett, a celebrity fashion stylist, says: "Cheryl Cole is a style icon in that she appeals to the masses, but she's not right for Vogue.
"Vogue is about high fashion, which Cheryl is not, and her fashion sense comes from a team of stylists throwing clothes at her. I do quite like her style, but it's not cutting-edge and it definitely isn't hers. She's a northern lass with money, but as we all know, that doesn't buy you taste. We've all seen how she dresses without the stylists."
Cole's idea of fashion buys into only the most overtly sexy fashion trends: Hervé Léger bandage dresses; tottering Christian Louboutin heels; big hair; glossy lips; cleavage. For the final of The X Factor she chose a silver dress by Julien Macdonald that was somehow backless, frontless and sideless all at the same time. To marry Ashley Cole in 2006, she wore a £100,000 crystal-encrusted champagne silk Roberto Cavalli dress that was more footballer's wife than style icon.
She has a garter of roses tattooed around one thigh and "Mrs Cole" on the back of her neck (possibly the reason she chose to stand by her man, after a hairdresser claimed she had slept with the errant Cole a year ago). It's not that we don't love a Cinderella story and we can certainly acknowledge that, sartorially speaking, Cole has come a long way in the past year (her wide-leg sailor pants and candy-coloured mini dresses have gone down a storm) but we have to ask, what was Vogue's editor, Alexandra Shulman, thinking?
Vogue tends to feature either top models or international celebrities on its cover – women who have effortlessly fashionable personal style and favour chic over overt sexuality: Keira Knightley, Sienna Miller or this month's cover girl, Cate Blanchett, for example. But Cheryl Cole is a beautiful woman who has been styled by someone else, rather than a stylish woman.
She has appeared more than once in the top ten of FHM's list of the 100 sexiest women in the world and is the favourite to top the list in 2009 – usually the women who grace the cover of Vogue and those appearing on the front of the lad's mags in their undies are very different sorts.
Could it perhaps be that Vogue (which, like most middle-market magazines, is now struggling to sell advertising space) is embracing a more credit-crunch-friendly fashion icon? A woman who wears looks that can easily be copied, who often wears pieces from the high street and who's just like you and me?
When she does wear designer clothes, Cole seems almost to have looked to high-street fashion for her inspiration then sought out the high-end version. She's no inaccessible Katharine Hepburn, no icy Coco Chanel, but rather a fashion icon for the people at a time when couture-clad heiresses leave a bitter taste in the mouth.
While in previous decades women looked to Audrey Hepburn, Catherine Deneuve, Jane Birkin or Grace Kelly for their sartorial inspiration, perhaps as we enter an age of conspicuous non-consumption, this salt-of-the-Earth northern girl could be just the style inspiration we need.
But with a footballer's wife appearing on the cover of our favourite fashion bible for the second time in less than a year, consider the shiny Vogue bubble well and truly burst.
