Fun Fact

Many reference books say that Lake’s parents were Marion Davies’ sister Rose and her first husband, George Van Cleve. The Lake family asserted that the newborn was given to Davies’ sister, whose own child had died in infancy. The dead child’s birth certificate was reportedly altered to support the deception. CBS News reported that Hearst acknowledged to Lake on her wedding day that he was her father.

best_know_for: Grace Kelly, also known as Grace of Monaco, was an American actress and Princess of Monaco as the wife of Prince Rainier III from their marriage on April 18, 1956, until her death in 1982. Prior to her marriage, she achieved stardom in several significant Hollywood films in the early to mid-1950s. Kelly made her film debut in Fourteen Hours (1951) and gained stardom from her roles in Fred Zinnemann's western film High Noon (1952), and John Ford's adventure-romance Mogambo (1953), the latter of which earned her the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress nomination. She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in the drama The Country Girl (1954). Other notable works include the war film The Bridges at Toko-Ri (1954), the romantic comedy High Society (1956), and three Alfred Hitchcock suspense thrillers: Dial M for Murder (1954), Rear Window (1954), and To Catch a Thief (1955). During her short career she only made 11 films yet she received an Academy Award and three Golden Globe Awards, and was ranked 13th on the American Film Institute's 25 Greatest Female Stars list. Kelly retired from acting at age 26 to marry Rainier and began her duties as Princess of Monaco. But if we can be honest here for a minute, to the public, the legendary Hollywood screen siren Grace Kelly always managed to maintain the image of cool elegance and perfect happiness. And why not? She was the perfect embodiment of beauty, talent, style, elegance, royalty, sexual charisma and a real live princess. But in private, Grace Kelly was deeply troubled and disappointed with her arrogant, petulant prince with his multiple affairs, her headstrong daughters, her decision to leave a successful screen career at the height of her popularity, and her infidelities with a succession of handsome men. Proving once again that fairy tale endings are just that – fairy tales. Sadly she died at the young age of 52 of a horrific car crash and multiple strokes. The grave of Princess Grace of Monaco can be found at the Cathedral of Our Immaculate Lady in Monaco
