My name is Grace Patricia Kelly, I was born in 1929 in Philadelphia and died in 1982 in France. I was a highly popular actress in the 1950' Golden Age of Televison, schooled at American Academy of Dramatic Arts. I starred in movies such as Dial M for Murder, High Society with Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby and To Catch a Thief. With the release of Mogambo, I became a movie star, a status confirmed in 1954 with a Golden Globe Award and Academy Award nomination. In april 1956 I married Rainier III, Prince of Monaco, to become Princess consort of Monaco, styled as Her Serene Highness The Princess of Monaco, and commonly referred to as Princess Grace. I retired from acting at 26 to enter upon my duties in Monaco. Me and my Prince Rainier had three children: Caroline, Albert, and Stéphanie. I died after suffering a stroke on September 14, 1982, when I lost control of my automobile and crashed. My daughter, Princess Stéphanie, was in the car with me, and survived the accident. In June 1999, the American Film Institute ranked me No.13 in their list of top female stars of American cinema.

interesting Grace Kelly facts:
* Kelly took a bold stand against a racist incident involving Black American expatriate singer/dancer Josephine Baker, when a club in New York refused Baker as a customer.
