To the world it was a sugar-spun fairytale of the film star who married a prince and would live happily ever after in his castle.However,Princess Grace's tragic and untimely death on 14 September,
1982 robbed the Principality of its best loved personality and left the world in mourning.Born to a wealthy Philadelphia family,Grace Patricia Kelly grew up to become an actress of remarkable beauty, style and talent.Her film roles included High Noon, Dial M for Murder, To Catch a Thief, High Society and The Country Girl, for which she won an Oscar,and her co-stars were such names as Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, Bing Crosby, James Stewart and Frank Sinatra.In 1956 she starred opposite Alec Guinness in The Swan which cast her as a beautiful commoner who married the prince of a fairytale kingdom. Ironically,five days after the film opened,Grace Kelly left for Monaco to marry Prince Rainier - a marriage which
shocked many but also touched the hearts of millions.Robyns spent many months talking to members of the family and to people who knew Grace in her early years as an actress.
