Playing the wise but gentle femme-fatale in several of Alfred Hitchcock's thrillers opposite such actors as James Stewart and Cary Grant, this beautiful actress later became royalty.

Grace Patricia Kelly was born to a prominent Irish father and beautiful German mother, yet developed a refined, silky, uptown Philadelphia way of speaking. She played roles that were clever yet vulnerable, and always had the lead in any film she was in. She was a favorite of Hitchcock and was featured in To Catch a Thief with Cary Grant as well as Rear Window with Jimmy Stewart. After making fewer than a dozen films, Kelly went on to marry Prince Rainier III of Monaco and became known as Princess Grace.
