PRINCESS GRACE KELLY BIO (November 12, 1929 ? September 14, 1982) was an American actress of Irish and German heritage and Princess consortof Monaco. In April 1956 Kelly married Rainier III, Prince of Monaco, and became styled as Her Serene Highness The Princess of Monaco, and was commonly referred to as Princess Grace.After embarking on an actingcareer in 1950, at the age of 20, Grace Kelly appeared in New York City theatrical productions as wellas in more than forty episodes of live drama productions broadcast during theearly 1950s Golden Age of Television.In October 1953, with the release ofMogambo, she became a moviestar, a status confirmed in 1954with a Golden Globe Award and Academy Award nomination as well as leading rolesin five films, including TheCountry Girl, in which she gavea deglamorized, AcademyAward-winning performance. Sheretired from acting at 26 to enter upon her duties in Monaco. She and Prince Rainier had three children:Caroline, Albert, and Stéphanie.She also retained her American roots, maintaining dual US and Monégasque citizenships.She died on September 14, 1982, two months before her 53rd birthday, when she lost control of her automobile andcrashed after suffering a stroke.Her daughter Princess Stéphanie, whowas in the car with her, survivedthe accident. In June 1999, the American Film Institute ranked her #13 intheir list of top female stars of American cinema.A native of Philadelphia, Grace Kelly was born to John Brendan "Jack" Kelly (October 4, 1889?June 20, 1960), and his wife, Margaret Katherine Majer (b.Schloss Helmsdorf, Germany, December 13, 1898?January 6, 1990). The newborn was named in memory of her father'ssister, who had died at a young age. She was raised Catholic by her German-IrishDemocrat parents. Before hermarriage, Majer studied physicaleducation at Temple University and later became the first woman to headthe Physical Education Department at the University of Pennsylvania. Jack Kelly was a local hero as a tripleOlympic-gold-medal-winning sculler, and became wealthy as his construction company became the largest suchenterprise on the East Coast.Registering as a Democrat, heobtained the party's nomination for mayor in the 1935 election and lost by theclosest margin for any Democrat in the city's electoral history. In later years, he served on the Fairmount Park Commission and, during World War II, was appointedby President Roosevelt as National Director of Physical Fitness.When Grace was born, the Kellys already had two children, Margaret Katherine, known as Peggy (June 13, 1925?November 23, 1991) and JohnBrendan, Jr., known as Kell (May 24, 1927?May 2, 1985). Another daughter, Elizabeth Anne, known as Lizanne(June 25, 1933?November 24, 2009), was born three and a half years after Grace.At Margaret's baptism in 1925, Jack Kelly's mother, Mary Costello Kelly, expressed herdisappointment that the baby was not named Grace in memory of her last daughterwho died young. Upon his mother'sdeath the following year, Jack Kellyresolved that his next daughter would bear the name and, three years later, with the arrivalof Grace Patricia in November 1929, his late mother's wish was honored.Following in his father'sathletic footsteps, John Jr. won in 1947 the James E.Sullivan Award as the country's top amateur athlete.Also, similar to his father's goldmedals in rowing at the 1920 and 1924 Summer Olympics, he competed in the sport at the 1948, 1952 and the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne where, on November 27, seven months afterhis sister's Monaco wedding, he wona bronze medal, which he gave to heras a gift of the occasion. He alsoserved as a city councilman and Philadelphia'sKelly Driveis named for him.Two of Grace Kelly's uncleswere prominent in the arts; her father's eldest brother, Walter C. Kelly (1873?1939), was a vaudeville star whose nationally known act, The Virginia Judge, was filmed as a 1930 MGM short and a 1935 Paramount feature, and another older brother, George Kelly (1887?1974), estrangedfrom the family due to his homosexuality, became renowned in the 1920s as a dramatist, screenwriter and director with a hit comedy-drama, The Show Off, in 1924?25, and was awarded the 1926 Pulitzer Prize for Dramafor his next play, Craig's Wife. While attending Ravenhill Academy, a prestigious Catholic girls' school, Kelly modelled fashions at local social events with her mother and sisters. In 1942, at the age of twelve, she played alead in Don't Feed the Animals, a play produced by the East Falls Old Academy Players.During high school, she acted anddanced, graduating in May 1947 from Stevens School, a small private institution in a mansion on Walnut Lane in theNorthwest Philadelphia neighborhood of Germantown. Her graduation yearbook listed her favoriteactress as Ingrid Bergman and her favorite actor as Joseph Cotten. Written in the "Stevens' Prophecy"section was, ?Miss Grace P. Kelly - a famous star of stage and screen.?Because of low mathematicsscores, Kelly was rejected by Bennington College in July 1947. To the dismay of her parents?despite his brothers'occupations, her father viewedacting as "a slim cut above streetwalker"?Kelly decided to pursue herdreams of a career in the theater.For an audition into the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York she used a scene from her uncle's1923 play The Torch-Bearers.Although the school had already selected its semester quota, Kelly obtained an interview with the school'sadmission officer, Emile Diestel, and was admitted due to her uncle George. Living in Manhattan's Barbizon Hotel for Women, a prestigious establishment which barred men fromentering after 10 p.m., andworking as a model to support her studies, Kelly began her first term the following October.A diligent student, she would use atape recorder to practise and perfect her speech.Her early acting pursuits led her to the stage, most notably a Broadway debut in Strindberg?s The Father alongsideRaymond Massey. At 19, her graduation performance was as Tracy Lord in ThePhiladelphia Story. Television producer DelbertMann cast Kelly as Bethel Merriday, an adaptation of the Sinclair Lewis novel of the same name, in her first of nearly sixty live televisionprograms. Success on televisioneventually brought her a role in a major motion picture.Kelly made her film debut in a small role in the 1951 film Fourteen Hours. She was noticed during a visit to the set by GaryCooper, who subsequently starredwith her in High Noon. Cooperwas charmed by Kelly and said that she was "different from all theseactresses we've been seeing so much of."However, her performance in FourteenHours was not noticed by critics, and did not lead to her receiving other film acting roles.She continued her work in the theater and on television, although she lacked "vocal horsepower" and would likely not have hada lengthy stage career. Kelly wasperforming in Colorado?s ElitchGardens when she received a telegramfrom Hollywood producer Stanley Kramer, offering her a co-starring role opposite GaryCooper in High Noon.Kelly's role as Linda Nordleyin MGM's production of Mogambo garnered her a Golden Globe Award forBest Supporting Actress and her first Academy Award nomination for BestSupporting Actress. Although HighNoon increased Kelly's prominence in Hollywood, director John Ford noticed her by seeing a 1950screen test which showed, he said, that Kelly had "breeding, quality and class".Gene Tierney was initially cast in the role, but due to emotional problems dropped out at the last minute, and the studio flew Kelly to Los Angeles to audition in September 1952. She won the role, along with a 7-year contract at the relatively low salary of $850 a week. Kelly signed the deal under two conditions: Firstthat, one out of every two years, she have time off to work in the theater andsecond, that she be able to live inNew York City, at the now-landmarkedManhattan House, at 200 E. 66th Street.Just two months later, in November, the cast arrived in Nairobi to begin production. She later told Hollywoodcolumnist Hedda Hopper, "Mogambohad three things that interested me.John Ford, Clark Gable, and a trip to Africawith expenses paid. If Mogambohad been made in Arizona, I wouldn't have done it."The filming timetable afforded her opportunity to indulge in types ofactivities that undoubtably would not have been broadcast to the likes of HeddaHopper or her reading public. Kellyand Mogambo co-star Ava Gardner enjoyed a break in the productionschedule to journey to Romeand spent time there "brothel-hopping."After the success of Mogambo, Kelly starred in a TV play The Way of an Eagle, with Jean-Pierre Aumont before being cast in thefilm adaptation of Frederick Knott's Broadway hit Dial M for Murder. Director Alfred Hitchcock also saw the 1950 screentest[2] and would become one of Kelly's last mentors. He took full advantage of Kelly's virginal beautyon-camera. In a scene in which hercharacter Margot Wendice is nearly murdered, a struggle breaks out between her and her would-be-killer Tony Dawson as shekicks her legs and flails her arms attempting to fight off her killer. Dial M for Murder opened in theaters in May1954 to both positive reviews and box-office triumph.Kelly began filming scenesfor her next film, The Bridges atToko-Ri, in January 1954 withWilliam Holden. The role of Nancy, the wife of naval officer Harry (Holden), proved to be a minor but pivotal part of the story. Released in January 1955, The New Yorker wrote of Kelly and Holden's unbridled on-screen chemistry, taking note of Kelly's performance of the part"with quiet confidence."In committing to the role ofLisa Fremont in Rear Window, Kelly unhesitatingly turned down the opportunity to star alongside MarlonBrando in On the Waterfront, which won her replacement, Eva MarieSaint, an Academy Award. "All through the making of Dial M forMurder, he [Hitchcock] sat andtalked to me about Rear Window all the time, even before we had discussed my being in it."Much like the shooting of Dial M for Murder, Kelly and Hitchcock shared a close bond of humor and admiration. Sometimes, however, minor strife would emergeon set concerning the wardrobe:At the rehearsal for the scene in RearWindow when I wore a sheer nightgown, Hitchcock called for Edith Head. Hecame 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. Whenwe went into my dressing room and Edith said, 'Mr. Hitchcock is worried becausethere's a false pleat here. He wantsme to put in falsies.' Well, I said, 'You can't put falsies in this, it'sgoing to show and I'm not going to wear them.'And she said, 'What are we going todo?' So we quickly took it up here, made some adjustments there, and Ijust did what I could and stood as straight as possible - without falsies. When I walked out onto the set Hitchcock looked atme and at Edith and said, 'See whata difference they make?'Kelly's new co-star, James Stewart, was highly enthusiastic about working with her.The role of Lisa Fremont, a wealthy Manhattan socialite andmodel, was unlike any of theprevious women which she had played.For the very first time, she was anindependent career woman. Stewartplayed a speculative photographer with a broken leg, bound to a wheelchair and so reduced to curiously observing the happeningsoutside his window. Kelly is notseen 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 andfinally lingering closely on her profile.With the film's opening in October 1954, Kelly was again praised. Variety'sfilm critic remarked on the casting, commenting about the "earthy quality to the relationship between Stewartand Miss Kelly. Both do a fine jobof the picture's acting demands."Kelly won the role of BingCrosby's long-suffering wife, Georgie Elgin, in The CountryGirl, after a pregnant JenniferJones bowed out. Already familiarwith the play, Kelly was desperatefor the part. This meant that, to MGM's dismay, she would have to be loaned out to Paramount. Kelly threatened the studio that she would packher bags and leave for New Yorkfor good. The vanquished studiocaved in, and the part was hers.The film also paired Kellyagain with William Holden. The wifeof a washed-up alcoholic singer, played by Crosby, Kelly's character is emotionally torn between two lovers.Holden willfully begs Kelly to leave her husband and be with him. A piece of frail tenderness manages to cloak itselfinside of her, even after havingbeen 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."As a result of herperformance in The Country Girl, Kelly was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress. Her main competitor for the prize was JudyGarland's much heralded comeback performance in A Star Is Born; playingnot only the part of an up and coming actress-singer, but also ironically, the wife of analcoholic movie star. Although Kellywon the New York Film Critics Circle Award for best actress for herperformances in her three big movie roles of 1954 (Rear Window, Dial M For Murder, and The Country Girl), sheand Garlandboth received Golden Globe Awards for their respective performances.By the following March, the race between Kelly and Garland for the Oscar was very close. On the night of the Academy Awards telecast, March 30, 1955, Garland was unable to attend because she wasin the hospital having just given birth to her son, Joseph Luft. However, she was rumored to be the odds-on favorite, and NBC Television cameras were set up in herhospital room so that if she was announced as the winner, Garland could make her acceptance speech live from her hospital bed. However, when William Holden announced Kelly as the winner, the technicians immediately dismantled the cameras without saying one word to Garland. Garlandwas reported not to have been very gracious about Kelly's win, saying in later years, "I didn't appreciate Grace Kelly taking off her makeup and walking awaywith my Oscar."In April 1954, Kelly flew to Colombia for a 10-day shoot on hernext project, Green Fire, with Stewart Granger.Kelly plays Catherine Knowland, acoffee plantation owner. InGranger'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."Green Fire was a critical and box-office failure.After the back-to-backfilming of Rear Window, Toko-Ri, Country Girl and Green Fire, Kelly flew to France, along with department store heir Bernard "Barney" Strauss, to begin work on her third and last film forAlfred Hitchcock, To Catch aThief. Kelly and her co-star, Cary Grant, developed a mutual admiration. Thetwo cherished their time together for the rest of their lives. Years later, when asked to name his all-time favorite actress, Grant replied without hesitation: "Well, with all due respect to dear Ingrid Bergman, I much preferred Grace. She hadserenity." The fireworks scenehas been the subject of much commentary, as Hitchcock subliminally peppers an undertone of sexual innuendo during thesequence.Kelly headed the US delegationat the Cannes Film Festival in April 1955.While there, she was invited toparticipate in a photo session at the Palace of Monacowith Prince Rainier III, the sovereignof the principality. After a seriesof delays and complications, Kellymet the prince in Monaco.Upon returning to America, Kelly began work on The Swan, in which she coincidentally portrayed a princess. Meanwhile, she was privately beginning a correspondence with Rainier. In December, Rainier came to America on atrip officially designated as a tour, although it was speculated that Rainier wasactively seeking a wife. A 1918treaty with France statedthat if Rainier did not produce an heir, Monaco would revert to France as aresult of the Monaco Succession Crisis of 1918.At a press conference in the United States, Rainier was askedif he was pursuing a wife, to whichhe answered, "No." A second question was posed, asking, "If you were pursuing a wife, what kind would you like?" Rainier smiledand answered, "I don't know ?the best." Rainiermet Kelly and her family, and afterthree days, the prince proposed. Kelly accepted and the families began preparingfor what the press called "The Wedding of the Century." Kelly and her family had to provide PrinceRainier with dowry of $2, 000, 000 USD in order for the marriage to go ahead. The religious wedding was set for April 19, 1956.News of the engagement was a sensation even though it meant the possible end toKelly's film career. Industryprofessionals realized that it would have been impractical for her to continueacting and wished her well, andKelly was uninterested in remaining an actress as she aged. Alfred Hitchcock had quipped that he was"very happy that Grace has found herself such a good part."Preparations for the weddingwere elaborate. The Palace of Monaco was painted and redecoratedthroughout. On April 4, 1956, leaving from Pier 84 in New York Harbor, Kelly, with her family, bridesmaids, poodle, and over eighty pieces of luggage boarded the ocean liner SS Constitutionfor the French Riviera. Some 400reporters applied to sail, thoughmost were turned away. Thousands offans sent the party off for the eight-day voyage.In Monaco, more than 20, 000people lined the streets to greet the future princess consort.That same year, MGM released Kelly's last film, the musical comedy High Society (based onthe studio's 1940 comedy Philadelphia Story).One highlight of the film was Kelly's duet with Bing Crosby, singing "True Love, "with words and music by Cole Porter.As is customary in somecountries, Kelly and Rainier had both civil and religious weddings. The 40-minute civil ceremony took place in thePalace Throne Room of Monaco on April 18, 1956, and was broadcast across Europe. To capthe ceremony, the 142 officialtitles (counterparts of Rainier's) that Kellyacquired in the union were formally recited.The following day the church ceremony took place at Monaco's Saint Nicholas Cathedral. Kelly's wedding dress, designed by MGM's Academy Award?winning Helen Rose, was worked on for six weeks by three dozen seamstresses.The bridesmaid's gowns were designed by Joe Allen Hong at Neiman Marcus afterLawrence Marcus visited Monaco. The 600 guests included Hollywood stars DavidNiven and his wife Hjördis, GloriaSwanson, Ava Gardner, the crowned head Aga Khan, Gloria Guinness, Daisy Fellowes, Etti Plesch, Lady Diana Cooper, Enid, Lady Kenmare, Loelia, Duchess of Westminster andConrad Hilton. Frank Sinatra initiallyaccepted an invitation but at the last minute decided otherwise, afraid of upstaging the bride on her wedding day. The ceremony was watched by an estimated 30million people on television. Theprince and princess left that night for their seven-week Mediterraneanhoneymoon cruise on Rainier's yacht, Deo Juvante II.As Princess of Monaco, she founded AMADE Mondiale, a Monaco-based non-profit organization eventually recognized by the UnitedNations as a Non-Governmental Organization.According to UNESCO's website, AMADEpromotes and protects the "moral and physical integrity" and"spiritual well-being of children throughout the world, without distinction of race, nationality or religion and in a spirit of complete political independence." Her daughter Princess Caroline carries thetorch for AMADE today in her role as President.Princess Grace gave birth tothe couple's first child, PrincessCaroline, nine months and four daysafter the wedding. Twenty-one gunsannounced the event, a nationalholiday was called, gambling ceased, and free champagne flowed throughout theprincipality. A little over a yearlater, 101 guns announced the birthof their second child, Prince Albert. Prince Rainier and Princess Grace had threechildren: Caroline Louise Marguerite, Princess of Hanover, born January 23, 1957, and now heiress presumptive to the throne of Monaco Albert II, Prince of Monaco, born March 14, 1958, current ruler of the Principality of Monaco Princess Stéphanie Marie Elisabeth, born February 1, 1965.After the wedding, Prince Rainier banned the screening of Kelly'sfilms. Hitchcock offered Kelly thelead in his film Marnie in 1962.She was eager, but public outcry in Monaco againsther involvement in a film that portrayed her as a kleptomaniac made her reconsiderand ultimately reject the project.Director Herbert Ross attempted to lure Princess Grace for his 1977 film TheTurning Point, but PrinceRainier quashed the idea. Later thatyear, Kelly returned to the arts ina series of poetry readings on stage and the narration of the documentary TheChildren of Theater Street. Shealso narrated ABC's made-for-television film The Poppy Is Also a Flower(1966).As princess, Kelly was active in improving the artsinstitutions of Monaco, and eventually the Princess Grace Foundation wasformed to support local artisans.She was one of the first celebrities to support and speak on behalf of La LecheLeague, an organization thatadvocates breastfeeding; she planned a yearly Christmas party for local orphans, and dedicated a Garden Club that reflected herlove of flowers.Kelly was also a member ofthe International Best Dressed List since 1960.In 1981, the Prince and Princess celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.Kelly was the object of thetabloids 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 andeventually included the names of almost every major actor at the time. It is likely that many of the stories areexaggerated, although she had anaffair with William Holden, andpossibly with Clark Gable. During the making of DialM for Murder, her co-star RayMilland probably seduced her.Milland was 22 years older than she.Milland was married to Muriel Milland for thirty years, and the couple had a son. Millandassured Kelly that he had left his wife, which she would later find out to have been a lie.Muriel Milland was one of the most popular wives in Hollywood and had the support of many friends, including gossip columnist Hedda Hopper. After Muriel Milland found out about the allegedaffair, Kelly was branded ahomewrecker. After Kelly gave apress interview explaining her side of the story the town seemed to loseinterest in the scandal. It wasnever proven that Kelly actually succumbed to Milland's advances; in fact, her friends at the time, such as Rita Gam, believed she hadlittle interest in him.Russian fashion designer OlegCassini, having just seen Mogamboearlier that evening, encounteredGrace Kelly having dinner at Le Veau d'Or.Formerly married to actress Gene Tierney, the original choice to play Mogambo's Linda Nordley, Cassini was raised in Florence and had a cultured air with anabundance of charm and courtliness.He became just as captivated by Kelly in person as he had been while watchingher in the film and soon piqued her curiosity by sending her a daily bouquet ofred roses. His persistence paid offwhen she accepted his invitation to lunch, with the provision that her eldest sister, Peggy, join them. Although Kelly and Cassini almost married, their relationship ended with her parents' refusalto accept a divorced non-Catholic as a future son-in-law.When she was a princess, Prince Rainier laid down a list of strict ruleswhen it came to the encounters with the Princess at the palace, which included, no autographs, no photographs, no audio recording devices, and nobody was allowed to leave the room for anything, unless, and until, the Princess left the room first, so that she would avoid being trapped by a mob offans. This observation was reportedin 1963. Whether either hadextramarital affairs is unclear, butthe couple had become closer before Kelly's death.In a 1960s interview, Kelly explained how she had grown to accept thescrutiny as a part of being in the public eye, but expressed concern for her children?s exposure to such relentlessscandalmongering. After her death, celebrity biographers chronicled the rumors withrenewed enthusiasm.In 1951, the newly famous Kelly took a bold stand against a racist incident involvingBlack American expatriate singer/dancer Josephine Baker, when Sherman Billingsley's Stork Club in New York refused Baker as a customer. Kelly, who was dining at the club when this happened, was so disgusted that she rushed over to Baker (whom she had never met), took her by the arm, and stormed out with her entire party, vowing never to return (and she never did).The two women became close friends after that night.A significant testament to their close friendship was made evident when Bakerwas near bankruptcy, and was offereda villa and financial assistance by Kelly (who by that time had become ThePrincess of Monaco) and her husband Rainier III of Monaco.The princess also encouraged Baker to return to performing and financed Baker'striumphant comeback in 1975, attending the opening night's performance.When Baker died, the Princesssecured her burial in Monaco. On September 13, 1982, while driving with her daughter Stéphanie to Monaco from their country home onthe French side of the border, Princess Grace suffered a stroke, which caused her to drive her Rover P6 off the serpentine road down amountainside. The accident site islocated at 43°43?35?N 7°24?10?E. Grace was pulled alive from the wreckage, but had suffered serious injuries and wasunconscious. She died the followingday at the Monaco Hospital (renamed Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace ?"The Princess Grace Hospital Centre" in English?in 1985), having never regained consciousness. It was initially reported that Princess Stéphaniesuffered only minor bruising, although it later emerged that she had suffered a serious cervical fracture.Grace was buried in the Grimaldifamily vault on September 18, 1982, after a requiem mass in Saint Nicholas Cathedral, Monaco.The 400 guests at the service included representatives of foreign governmentsand of present and past European royal houses.Diana, Princess of Wales representedthe British royal family. Cary Grantwas among the members of the film community in attendance.Nearly 100 million people worldwide watched her funeral.Prince Rainier, who did not remarry, was buried alongside her following his death in2005. The Princess Grace Foundation, Monaco was founded in 1964 with the aim of helpingthose with special needs for whom no provision was made within the ordinarysocial services. In 1983, following Princess Grace's death, Caroline, Princess of Hanover assumed the duties of President of the Board of Trustees ofthe Foundation. Albert II, Prince of Monaco is Vice-President. The Princess GraceFoundation-USA (PGF-USA) was established following the death of Princess Graceof Monaco to continue the work that she had done, anonymously, during her lifetime, assisting emerging theater, dance and film artists in America.Incorporated in 1982, PGF-USA isheadquartered in New York and is a tax-exempt, not-for-profit, publicly supportedorganization. The Princess GraceAwards, a program of the PrincessGrace Foundation-USA, has awardednearly 500 artists at more than 100 institutions in the U.S. with more than $7 million to date. The Princess Grace Foundation-USA also holds theexclusive rights to, and facilitatesthe licensing of, Princess Grace ofMonaco's name and likeness throughout the world.Princess Grace Foundation-USAOn June 18, 1984, Prince Rainier inaugurated a public rose garden in Monaco in Princess Grace'smemory because of her passion for the flower.In 1993, Princess Grace became the first U.S. actress to appear on a U.S. postage stamp.In 2003, 83 years after Olympic Gold Medalist John Kelly, Sr. was refused entry to the mostprestigious rowing event in the world, the Henley Royal Regatta renamed the Women's Quadruple Sculls after hisdaughter, "Princess GraceChallenge Cup". Princess Gracewas invited to present the prizes at the Henley Royal Regatta in 1981 as apeace offering by the Henley Stewards to put a long conflict (61 years) betweenthe Kelly family and Stewards to rest.Her brother, John Kelly, Jr., won the Diamond Sculls at Henley in 1947 and 1949as well as a Bronze Medal in the single sculls at the 1956 Summer Olympics inMelbourne. In 2004 her son, Prince Albert, presented the prizes at the Henley Royal Regatta.On April 1, 2006, The Philadelphia Museum of Art presented an exhibition entitled, Fit for a Princess: Grace Kelly's Wedding Dress, that ran through May 21, 2006. The exhibition was in honor ofthe 50th anniversary of Princess Grace and Prince Rainier's wedding. To commemorate the 25thanniversary of her death ?2 commemorative coins were issued on July 1, 2007 with the "national" side bearingthe image of Princess Grace. InMonaco (at the Grimaldi Forum) and the United States (at Sotheby's) a largePrincess Grace exhibition, coordinated by the Princely Family, called "Grace, Princess ofMonaco: A Tribute to the Life and Legacy of Grace Kelly", celebrated her life and her contribution to thearts through her Foundation.In October 2009, a plaque was placed on the "Rodeo Drive Walkof Style" in recognition of Princess Grace's contributions to style andfashion.
