Grace Kelly Biography

One of Kelly’s nicknames was “Graciebird”.

Her movies are banned in Monaco by order of her former husband, Prince Rainier of Monaco.

Kelly had three children with Prince Rainier of Monaco: Princess Caroline, Prince Albert and Princess Stephanie.

Kelly's wedding gown was the most expensive garment that designer Helen Rose had ever made. It had twenty-five yards of silk taffeta and one hundred yards of silk net. It was trimmed with 125-year-old rose point lace, purchased from a museum and thousands of tiny pearls were sewn on to the veil.

Grace was born into an immigrant family of bricklayers; Grace's father and brother were both Olympic gold-medal scullers. Grace's cousin, former US Secy of Navy John Lehman, Jr. now chairs the Princess Grace Foundation, which supports young performing talent.

In 1959, she was awarded with a medal of merit by the Austrian government for her aid to Hungarian refugees escaping Russian invasion.

She was ranked as the 12th Greatest Movie Star of all time by Premiere magazine.
