Drawing on his unprecedented access to Grace Kelly, bestselling
biographer Donald Spoto at last offers an intimate, honest, and
authoritative portrait of one of Hollywood's legendary actresses.
In just seven years-from 1950 through 1956-Grace Kelly embarked
on a whirlwind career that included roles in eleven movies. From
the principled Amy Fowler Kane in "High Noon" to the thrill-seeking
Frances Stevens of "To Catch a Thief," Grace established herself as
one of Hollywood's most talented actresses and iconic beauties. Her
astonishing career lasted until her retirement at age twenty-six,
when she withdrew from stage and screen to marry a European monarch
and became a modern, working princess and mother.
Based on never-before-published or quoted interviews with Grace and
those conducted over many years with her friends and
colleagues-from costars James Stewart and Cary Grant to director
Alfred Hitchcock-as well as many documents disclosed by her
children for the first time, acclaimed biographer Donald Spoto
explores the transformation of a convent schoolgirl to New York
model, successful television actress, Oscar-winning movie star, and
beloved royal.
As the princess requested, Spoto waited twenty-five years after her
death to write this biography. Now, with honesty and insight, "High
Society" reveals the truth of Grace Kelly's personal life, the men
she loved, the men she didn't, and what lay behind the facade of
her fairy-tale life.
