The year 1954 in film involved some significant events Events May 12 - The Marx Brothers' Zeppo Marx The role of Margot Wendice was a beginning for Grace as a poised and confident role-playing actress.

Grace began filming scenes for her next film, The Bridges at Toko-Ri, in January 1954 with William Holden.

Eva Marie Saint (born July 4, 1924) is an Academy Award -winning American actress. "All through the making of Dial M for Murder, he [Hitchcock] sat and talked to me about Rear Window all the time, even before we had discussed my being in it. "[3] Much like the shooting of Dial M for Murder, Grace and Hitchcock shared a close bond of humor and admiration. Sometimes, however, minor strifes would emerge on set concerning the wardrobe.

"At the rehearsal for the scene in Rear Window when I wore a sheer nightgown, Hitchcock called for Edith Head. He came over here and said, 'Look, the bosom is not right, we're going to have to put something in there. ' He was very sweet about it; he didn't want to upset me, so he spoke quietly to Edith. When we went into my dressing room and Edith said, 'Mr. Hitchcock is worried because there's a false pleat here. He wants me to put in falsies. ' Well, I said, 'You can't put falsies in this, it's going to show and I'm not going to wear them. ' And she said, 'What are we going to do?' So we quickly took it up here, made some adjustments there, and I just did what I could and stood as straight as possible - without falsies. When I walked out onto the set Hitchcock looked at me and at Edith and said, 'See what a difference they make?'"

Grace's new co-star, James Stewart, was highly enthusiastic about working with Grace. James Maitland Stewart (20 May 1908 – 2 July 1997 popularly known as Jimmy Stewart, was an American Film and stage Actor [4] The role of Lisa Fremont, a wealthy Manhattan socialite and model, was unlike any of the previous women which she had played. For the very first time, she was an independent career woman. Stewart played a speculative photographer with a broken leg, bound to a wheelchair, who is curiously reduced to observing the happenings of tenants outside his window. Kelly is not seen until twenty-two minutes into the movie. Just as he had done earlier, Hitchcock provided the camera with a slow-sequenced silhouette of Kelly, along with a close-up of the two stars kissing and finally lingering closely on her profile. With the film's opening in October 1954, Kelly was yet again praised. Variety's film critic remarked on the casting, commenting about the "earthy quality to the relationship between Stewart and Miss Kelly.

This meant that, to MGM's dismay, she would have to be loaned out to Paramount. Paramount Pictures Corporation is an American motion picture production and Distribution company, based in Hollywood California. Kelly threatened the studio that she would pack her bags and leave for New York for good. The vanquished studio caved in, and the part was hers. The Country Girl was shot in black and white, surprising an audience that had become accustomed to seeing the blonde in Technicolor. Technicolor is the trademark for a series of color film processes pioneered by Technicolor Motion Picture Corporation

The film also paired Kelly again with William Holden. The wife of a washed-up alcoholic singer, played by Crosby, Kelly's character is emotionally torn between two lovers. Alcoholism is a term with multiple and sometimes conflicting definitions Holden willfully begs Kelly to leave her husband and be with him. A piece of frail tenderness manages to cloak itself inside of her, even after having been demonized by Crosby, describing "a pathetic hint of frailty in a wonderful glowing man. That appeals a lot to us. It did to me. I was so young. His weaknesses seemed touching and sweet, they made me love him more. " The following March, Kelly would be honored with the Academy Award for Best Actress.

In Granger's autobiography he writes of his distaste for the film's script, while Kelly later confided to Hedda Hopper, "It wasn't pleasant. We worked at a pathetic village - miserable huts and dirty. Part of the crew got shipwrecked . . . It was awful. "[5] Green Fire was a critical and box-office failure.

After the back-to-back shooting of Rear Window, Toko-Ri, Country Girl, and Green Fire, Kelly was exhausted, and flew to France along with department store heir Bernard "Barney" Strauss, to begin work on her third and final film for Alfred Hitchcock, To Catch a Thief. This article is about the country For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic France topics. See also To Catch a Thief (film To Catch a Thief is a 1952 thriller novel by David Dodge.

"[6] The fireworks scene has been the subject of much commentary, as Hitchcock subliminally peppers an undertone of sexual innuendo during the sequence. In the now famous speedy picnic drive, dressed in a peach and white dress, with her trademark white gloves, Kelly's real life fear of driving and her inability to properly operate an automobile, are captured on film.

Though her film career lasted just five years and eleven films, Kelly is remembered as a premier actress in American film.

Industry professionals realized that it would have been impractical for her to continue acting and wished her well. Alfred Hitchcock had quipped that he was, "very happy that Grace has found herself such a good part. Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock, KBE (13 "

Preparations for the wedding were elaborate. The Palace of Monaco was painted and redecorated throughout. The voyage of the American contingent to Monaco was an ordeal. On April 4, 1956, leaving from Pier 84 in New York Harbor, Grace, with her family, bridesmaids, poodle, and over eighty pieces of luggage boarded the ocean liner SS Constitution for the French Riviera.

Personal life

Grace Kelly was the object of the tabloids and gossip throughout her life. Her love life was a particular focus of speculation. Stories of affairs circulated from her first major role in motion pictures and eventually included the names of almost every major actor at the time.

Grace and the Shah of Iran became acquainted near the end of 1949 at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel during the Shah's official visit to America. The Waldorf-Astoria Hotel is a famously luxurious hotel in New York Grace's childhood friend (and later, her bridesmaid) Maree Frisby Rambo said in an interview with biographer Wendy Leigh that Kelly and the Shah had gone on at least six dates. The Shah had been the ruler of Iran since 1941, and was thirty years old at the time. For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Iran topics. The Shah besieged Kelly with vast amounts of jewellery including: a gold birdcage housing a diamond sapphire bird, a gold vanity case with a clasp set with thirty-two diamonds, and a gold bracelet with an intricate pearl and diamond face. Sapphire (antique greek hyacinthos refers to gem varieties of the mineral Corundum, an Aluminium oxide (Al2O3 when it is a color other than Grace, however, had no intentions of marrying the Shah, and immediately sent the gifts back. She decided to keep the jewels and later presented the pieces to her bridesmaids as keepsakes on the eve of her wedding. [8] Despite the alleged brutality of the Shah's regime, Grace fiercely defended him until his death. [9]

During the making of Dial M for Murder, Kelly seduced her co-star Ray Milland. Dial M for Murder ( 1954) is a Howcatchem film directed by Alfred Hitchcock starring Grace Kelly, Ray Milland, and Ray Milland ( January 3, 1907 - March 10, 1986) was a Welsh Actor and director who worked primarily in the Milland was 22 years older than she, but just as charming and suave as he was when she swooned over him years earlier as a teenager watching The Lost Weekend. The Lost Weekend is a 1945 motion picture directed by Billy Wilder for Paramount Pictures, starring Ray Milland, Milland was married to Muriel Milland for thirty years, and the two had a son. Milland assured Kelly that he had left his wife, which she would later find out to have been a lie. [10] After Muriel Milland found out about the affair, she and Ray Milland separated and Kelly was branded a homewrecker. Muriel Milland was one of the most popular wives in Hollywood and had the support of many friends, including gossip columnist Hedda Hopper. Hedda Hopper ( May 2, 1885 – February 1, 1966) was an American actress and Gossip columnist, whose After Kelly gave a press interview explaining her side of the story, the town seemed to lose interest in the scandal.

It was reported to the press that Grace Kelly and Bing Crosby met for the first time when they were introduced during the making of The Country Girl. This, however, was untrue. Sue Ladd, the widow of Alan Ladd, told Grace Kelly biographer James Spada that while Bing's then-wife Dixie was battling terminal cancer, Bing and Grace had been trysting in the Ladds' home. Sue Carol ( October 30, 1906 – February 4, 1982) was an American actress Alan Walbridge Ladd ( September 3, 1913 – January 29, 1964) was an American film Actor. [11] What Kelly didn't know was that by the time filming commenced on The Country Girl, Crosby had already been dating actress Kathryn Grant. Kathryn Crosby (born November 25 1933) is an American actress and singer who performed her most memorable roles under the stage-name Kathryn Grant Three days before the date scheduled for Crosby's marriage to Grant, he confessed to having had an affair with Grace Kelly and that he no longer wished to marry her. Kathryn Crosby (born November 25 1933) is an American actress and singer who performed her most memorable roles under the stage-name Kathryn Grant Unbeknownst to Kelly, Bing had continued to express his love for Grant throughout their affair despite Kelly's determination to become Crosby's wife. Kathryn Crosby (born November 25 1933) is an American actress and singer who performed her most memorable roles under the stage-name Kathryn Grant Crosby later reconciled with Kathryn Grant and proposed to her once again, explaining to her that he had broken off the relationship with Grace Kelly.

In a strange twist of fate, Russian fashion designer Oleg Cassini, having just seen Mogambo earlier that evening, encountered Grace Kelly having dinner at Le Veau d'Or. Oleg Cassini ( April 11, 1913 &ndash March 17, 2006) was a French-born American Fashion designer noted for Cassini, who was raised in Florence, having an abundance of charm and courtliness and whose ex-wife was actress Gene Tierney, became just as captivated by Kelly in person as he had previously watching her in the film. Florence ( Italian: Firenze Florentia and Fiorenza) is the Capital City of the Italian region of Tuscany Gene Tierney ( November 19, 1920 – November 6, 1991) was an American film and stage actress. Kelly's curiosity was soon piqued when she began receiving a bouquet of red roses every day. Cassini's persistence paid off when Kelly accepted his invitation to lunch, with the provision that she bring her sister Peggy along. Cassini and Kelly became engaged within the first month of meeting. Their desire to marry quickly was later revealed to have been prompted by the fact that she was pregnant. "The couple planned to have a small secret wedding, with Grace taking time off to have the baby," John Glatt wrote. "But at the last minute she changed her mind. Torn between her devout Catholic upbringing, her movie career and her love of Cassini, Grace decided she could not risk a scandal. So, instead of going through with the marriage, she had an abortion. An " When Cassini was asked by Glatt about the abortion, he remained defensive and evasive, commenting that, "It's too delicate a matter. I don't have to answer this and I will make no comment about that. Absolutely no comment. Let people think what they want to think," Cassini explained. [12][13]

In a 1960s interview, Kelly explained how she had grown to accept the scrutiny as a part of being in the public eye, but expressed concern for her children’s exposure to such relentless scandalmongering. After her death, celebrity biographers chronicled the rumors with renewed enthusiasm.

Interviewed for British television by Michael Parkinson, David Niven recalled an awkward conversation with Prince Ranier in which the latter asked him who had been his most exciting lover. Sir Michael Parkinson, CBE (born March 28 1935) is an English broadcaster and Journalist. James David Graham Niven (1 March 1910 – 29 July 1983 was an English Academy Award -winning Actor probably best known for his role as the punctuality-obsessed Niven began to say "Grace Kelly", but caught himself in time and answered "Gra..cie Fields". Dame Gracie Fields, DBE ( January 9 1898 &ndash September 27 1979) born Grace Stansfield, was an English / Fortunately, Ranier had never heard of Fields and didn't realise how absurd the suggestion was.

The two women became close friends after that night. A significant testament to their close friendship was made evident when Baker was near bankruptcy, and was offered a villa and financial assistance by Kelly (who by that time had become Princess Grace), and her husband Rainier III of Monaco. Bankruptcy is a legally declared inability or impairment of ability of an individual or organization to pay their Creditors Creditors may file a bankruptcy petition against A villa was originally an Upper-class Country house, though since its origins in Roman times the idea and function of a villa has evolved considerably Grace Patricia Kelly (later Grace Princess of Monaco; November 12 1929 &ndash September 14 1982 was an Academy Award -winning American film and Rainier III Prince of Monaco (Rainier Louis Henri Maxence Bertrand Grimaldi 31 May 1923 &ndash 6 April 2005) styled His Serene Highness The princess also encouraged Baker to return to performing, and financed Baker's triumphant comeback in 1975, attending the opening night's performance.
