Grace Kelly

1929-1982

Grace Kelly was born in Philadelphia. She starred in several significant films in the early to mid-1950s, such as Rear Window and High Noon. She won the best actress Oscar for her performance in The Country Girl (1954).

She became Princess Grace of Monaco when she married Prince Rainier III on April 18, 1956. She is Exhibit A of the adage that it's easier for an American girl to grow up to become a princess (depends on the definition, but at least 11) than to become a Supreme Court Justice. (6)
