She has been called America's princess - and with good reason. Long
before she married a prince, Grace Kelly had the looks and bearing
of royalty. Born and raised in Philadelphia, the daughter of an
Irish Catholic father and a German immigrant mother, Grace's blend
of blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty and poise was dubbed a
"snow-covered volcano" by director Alfred Hitchcock. But like most
icons, there is more to Grace than what you see in film. While, on
the surface, she appeared to have lived a real-life fairy tale
filled with handsome men, beautiful clothes and an adoring public,
in reality, her life seems to have been more of an often sad
reflection of the times in which she lived. It was a time of movie
megastars, of hushed-up love affairs, of prejudice and gossip, and
of images not always being what they appeared to be. Long before
the world admired Kate Middleton's sophisticated sense of style,
and long before the world fell in love with young Lady Diana's shy
smile, there was a breathtakingly beautiful princess from
Philadelphia. Her name was Grace Kelly, and this is her story.
