Grace Kelly

[Boomer]

Boomer really likes Bing, doesn't he

Oh God no!! ScriptGirl- that was nothing against you at all!! I admire Bing as one of the true giants of 20th Century popular music (seriously, he really was) but, after the stories of how he treated his family and then the Grace affair coming to light (which is hard to even imagine, for me anyway) I have zero regard for him as a person...And Grace really lowered her standards with him- IMO of course...B)

Oh, good.

Hitchcockwiki.com -- wow!

I like to watch Grace Kelly movies just to stare at her and her clothes. The movie plots seem too simple now.

Thanks scriptgirl and kochie!

Anyone know what school the "PC" on her sweater was? Doesn't ring a bell...

Humm..This from GeoCities doesn't help much- but somewhere in the back of my memory was that her brother went to Penn Charter School...hummm

You're not! I'm more into old cinema and golden era, because movies were better (the plot was actually important not just stupid effects, like in most movies nowadays) and the stars were much classier (or shall I just put it: stars were classy!!!)

I agree. Grace was a cutie, and a sparkling American-girl-extraordinaire. She was truly one in a million, and it is amazingly lucky for all of us today that she had so many photographs!

Many thanks for all those pics.
