0:00:04.979,0:00:10.860
(Music)

0:00:10.860,0:00:12.749
She was born into a prosperous

0:00:12.749,0:00:14.229
Philadelphia family.

0:00:14.946,0:00:17.096
Though she was a shy child,

0:00:17.096,0:00:19.156
she would live her life in the public eye.

0:00:19.900,0:00:21.320
"Don't try to be a hero!

0:00:21.320,0:00:23.470
You don't have to be a hero,[br]not for me!"

0:00:23.470,0:00:26.159
- "I'm not trying to be a hero..."[br]- By the age of 23,

0:00:26.159,0:00:27.340
her beauty and talent

0:00:27.570,0:00:28.780
took her to Hollywood.

0:00:32.889,0:00:35.644
She made eleven films in[br]three and a half years

0:00:36.464,0:00:39.714
and became one of the most[br]sought-after stars of her time.

0:00:42.212,0:00:44.860
She worked with Hollywood's[br]most important directors,

0:00:46.809,0:00:49.039
played opposite its top leading men.

0:00:56.813,0:00:58.533
"There's nothing quite so mysterious

0:00:58.533,0:01:00.733
and silent as a dark theater..."

0:01:00.733,0:01:05.093
Then, at 26, she turned her back[br]on make-believe.

0:01:07.889,0:01:09.999
But make-believe came true,

0:01:09.999,0:01:12.989
in a fairy tale shared[br]by the entire world.

0:01:14.006,0:01:15.776
Her name was Grace Kelly.

0:01:16.854,0:01:19.217
It became: Her Serene Highness,

0:01:19.217,0:01:21.404
Princess Grace of Monaco.

0:01:33.642,0:01:37.288
I don't think Grace really believed that[br]she was going to give up acting when

0:01:37.288,0:01:39.278
she became Princess Grace of Monaco.

0:01:40.203,0:01:44.253
I think that the reality of that probably

0:01:44.253,0:01:46.083
struck her some place in the middle of

0:01:46.083,0:01:48.513
the Mediterranean after[br]the honeymoon began.

0:01:48.977,0:01:52.977
She took everything so much in her stride,

0:01:52.977,0:01:58.248
nothing seemed to be too much for her.

0:01:58.248,0:02:01.592
Of any name, Grace, could not have been

0:02:01.592,0:02:03.402
more fitting,

0:02:03.402,0:02:08.175
and even her death, her tragic early death

0:02:09.759,0:02:13.604
made her enter even more into legend.

0:02:15.624,0:02:17.529
(Band plays)

0:02:18.382,0:02:21.722
Monaco, a principality of less than

0:02:21.722,0:02:24.850
five hundred acres on the French Riviera.

0:02:25.922,0:02:27.888
For centuries, the Monegasques

0:02:27.888,0:02:30.506
held on to their distinctive character,

0:02:30.506,0:02:31.820
and their pride.

0:02:33.745,0:02:35.757
But, to the world, this place was known as

0:02:35.757,0:02:37.657
a "playground for the wealthy"

0:02:37.657,0:02:41.067
who came to enjoy its beauty [br]and its gambling.

0:02:42.152,0:02:44.822
Monaco became a home of a young [br]American actress

0:02:44.822,0:02:47.778
who arrived in 1956 to be its Princess.

0:02:48.867,0:02:51.045
She brought her fame, her cool beauty,

0:02:51.345,0:02:52.530
her intelligence.

0:02:53.050,0:02:54.655
And she brought war,

0:02:54.655,0:02:55.935
a sense of purpose.

0:02:56.742,0:03:00.472
Well, this story of a Princess [br]was firmly anchored in reality.

0:03:02.205,0:03:03.925
A reality that had its origins

0:03:03.925,0:03:05.701
back in Philadelphia.

0:03:07.011,0:03:10.101
Competition came easily to the Kelly's.

0:03:10.101,0:03:11.671
Here along Kelly Drive

0:03:11.671,0:03:14.681
named after Grace's father, John B. Kelly,

0:03:14.681,0:03:16.711
they still race in the sport for which

0:03:16.711,0:03:19.260
Jack Kelly won an Olympic medal.

0:03:21.786,0:03:24.636
A statue erected by the citizens [br]of Philadelphia

0:03:24.636,0:03:26.801
commemorates that achievement.

0:03:31.239,0:03:33.369
Jack Kelly's father was a bricklayer from

0:03:33.369,0:03:36.199
Ireland who went on to make a fortune.

0:03:37.319,0:03:39.819
Young Jack soon joined [br]the family business:

0:03:40.269,0:03:42.461
construction and brick making.

0:03:44.238,0:03:45.667
He started his own business

0:03:46.158,0:03:47.778
and made his own fortune.

0:03:48.388,0:03:50.418
But he always professed pride in

0:03:50.418,0:03:52.568
his family's humble origins.

0:03:54.776,0:03:56.356
Jack Kelly believed the world

0:03:56.356,0:03:58.196
was what you made it.

0:03:59.258,0:04:01.438
Margaret Majer, who married Jack, had been

0:04:01.438,0:04:04.098
a model as well as a champion [br]swimmer and athlete.

0:04:06.047,0:04:07.687
Margaret and Jack were determined

0:04:07.687,0:04:10.402
to raise their children their own way.

0:04:10.792,0:04:12.067
(Music)

0:04:16.218,0:04:19.632
If you're good enough, you're sure [br]to reach the top.

0:04:20.302,0:04:23.760
It was drilled into the Kelly children [br]from their earliest years.

0:04:23.935,0:04:27.968
(Music)

0:04:31.263,0:04:33.839
As a family, we were always very close.

0:04:34.913,0:04:38.128
Four of us; Peggy, my sister, the oldest,

0:04:38.726,0:04:41.396
my brother Jack, Grace and then myself.

0:04:42.166,0:04:44.229
She was the baby for three and [br]a half years

0:04:44.229,0:04:45.676
and loved every minute of it.

0:04:46.012,0:04:48.462
Grace, when she was young,[br]was very shy

0:04:48.462,0:04:50.032
and a mama's baby.

0:04:50.810,0:04:53.190
There were many times[br]were we had pictures taken

0:04:53.190,0:04:54.833
that mother had to lean back

0:04:54.833,0:04:57.955
away from the camera so Grace[br]would not cry

0:04:58.243,0:04:59.815
to be taken away from her mother,

0:04:59.903,0:05:03.918
she was very sweet and soft, and[br]loved to be held

0:05:03.918,0:05:06.184
and cuddled and kissed, and loved.

0:05:07.498,0:05:09.258
I, on the other hand, and my brother

0:05:09.258,0:05:10.734
and older sister, were more

0:05:11.573,0:05:13.411
"don't get around me,"

0:05:13.626,0:05:15.076
we wanted to do our[br]own things.

0:05:15.847,0:05:20.217
We always had a place[br]at the shore when we were young,

0:05:20.520,0:05:23.967
and, at that time, I think we had[br]our best times together.

0:05:23.967,0:05:25.447
We just had a marvellous time,

0:05:25.447,0:05:30.704
and Grace, all her life, loved [br]being by the ocean and the sea.

0:05:32.632,0:05:36.268
Grace and all the family, we were [br]a competitive family.

0:05:37.028,0:05:38.908
I think we got that, I know we got that

0:05:38.908,0:05:40.788
from our mother and our father.

0:05:40.894,0:05:46.004
They instilled into us a deep sense [br]of competition

0:05:46.004,0:05:49.864
and the love of sports,

0:05:50.283,0:05:52.743
the will of winning,

0:05:52.743,0:05:56.613
but also taught us how to lose gracefully.

0:05:57.920,0:06:01.810
But the Kellys didn't intend to lose, [br]and there never was a better

0:06:01.810,0:06:04.215
drillmaster than Jack Kelly.

0:06:04.740,0:06:10.800
It was fun, family fun, and it left a [br]special kind of determination.

0:06:13.862,0:06:17.073
This determination didn't[br]manifest itself in Grace

0:06:17.073,0:06:19.871
as much in the sporting field.

0:06:20.083,0:06:23.022
But her determination sooner took [br]another turn.

0:06:24.083,0:06:27.029
She loved to sit by the hours and pretend

0:06:27.029,0:06:31.549
and create situations and say:

0:06:31.549,0:06:33.513
"Lizzie, you do this, and I'll be this,"

0:06:33.513,0:06:36.435
and, "I'll be the mother and[br]you'll be the baby,"

0:06:36.435,0:06:39.055
of course, I gave her a hard time[br]a lot of times because

0:06:39.055,0:06:41.015
I did not want to play her games.

0:06:41.888,0:06:43.718
For Grace, growing up wealthy

0:06:43.718,0:06:46.011
meant winter sport in Lake Placid.

0:06:48.980,0:06:51.760
It also meant the best private schools.

0:06:55.777,0:06:58.702
Working for causes you believed[br]in started young.

0:06:59.307,0:07:01.710
With modeling, it's[br]society fashion benefits.

0:07:03.860,0:07:07.012
But for Grace, these shows meant[br]more than fundraising;

0:07:07.751,0:07:09.169
They were theater.

0:07:10.423,0:07:14.423
She got most of her love from the [br]theater my uncle George.

0:07:14.793,0:07:18.043
He was a playwright and[br]he directed plays.

0:07:18.127,0:07:23.669
Very gracious, highly educated[br]person, well-read, and very witty.

0:07:24.097,0:07:26.267
And she just was fascinated with

0:07:26.267,0:07:29.481
all the tales of the[br]stage and the theater.

0:07:30.065,0:07:33.795
Her uncle George Kelly was a [br]great example to her.

0:07:34.566,0:07:38.838
He was sensitive and kind, and talented,

0:07:38.838,0:07:41.445
and I think of all the men she ever[br]knew,

0:07:41.445,0:07:44.180
rather than going for the [br]"athletic macho type,"

0:07:44.180,0:07:47.402
I think her ideal man was[br]her uncle George.

0:07:48.789,0:07:53.091
My recollections with her father,[br]John B, Jack Kelly

0:07:53.091,0:07:56.181
were of an enormous man with

0:07:56.181,0:07:59.181
a tremendous amount of gusto, [br]everything up front,

0:07:59.181,0:08:01.545
everything in the open, move ahead.

0:08:01.941,0:08:06.902
A nice man, but not a tremendous[br]amount of internal sensitivity.

0:08:07.540,0:08:11.178
Her father believed absolutely that Peggy,

0:08:11.178,0:08:12.756
the elder sister, was gonna be

0:08:12.756,0:08:16.431
the big star of the family and[br]succeed,

0:08:17.414,0:08:19.002
and he never paid any attention

0:08:19.002,0:08:22.372
to basically the middle of the[br]family and his four children,

0:08:22.372,0:08:25.322
and she was quiet, observant of

0:08:25.322,0:08:29.860
the others and adored[br]her older brother too Kell,

0:08:29.860,0:08:35.407
John B. Kelly Jr., an also an athletic[br]star, great racer,

0:08:35.407,0:08:36.997
her father thought he was great,

0:08:36.997,0:08:40.549
but Grace, he just accepted, and I[br]don't think

0:08:40.549,0:08:42.623
he understood her at all,

0:08:42.623,0:08:44.053
but she adored him.

0:08:44.191,0:08:46.611
And yet, one wonders, when you[br]don't

0:08:46.611,0:08:49.851
get from a parent, what it is

0:08:49.851,0:08:51.881
perhaps what you need, if that isn't what

0:08:51.881,0:08:54.541
creates a great deal of the drive in you

0:08:54.541,0:08:57.961
to go out and become the[br]fullest part of yourself.

0:08:58.475,0:09:02.219
She decided to go to New York, and my

0:09:02.227,0:09:06.650
mother and father were[br]especially surprised

0:09:06.987,0:09:10.797
because she was a shy and retiring girl.

0:09:11.327,0:09:16.010
My mother and father were a little[br]wary of New York and on her own,

0:09:16.010,0:09:19.085
but mother said: "Jack, it's not as if

0:09:19.085,0:09:23.330
she is going to Hollywood or to[br]California."

0:09:23.580,0:09:28.574
Grace knew that her father didn't[br]think much of an acting career.

0:09:28.676,0:09:31.126
They allowed her to go, to get it[br]out of her system.

0:09:31.126,0:09:33.097
"Let her go, it won't amount to[br]anything."

0:09:34.012,0:09:35.442
Grace was accepted into the

0:09:35.442,0:09:37.792
American Academy of Dramatic Arts

0:09:37.792,0:09:40.552
and then housed in [br]Manhattan's Carnegie Hall.

0:09:41.107,0:09:46.607
It was 1947 and Grace Kelly was 18[br]years old.

0:09:48.294,0:09:51.029
She supported herself by modelling.

0:09:54.502,0:09:57.838
She got her portfolio,[br]and little by little,

0:09:57.838,0:09:59.528
she started getting jobs.

0:10:00.669,0:10:03.768
So that she didn't have to ask [br]for the favor of being supported

0:10:03.768,0:10:04.706
in her efforts

0:10:04.706,0:10:08.056
so that she could justify her own[br]existence

0:10:08.266,0:10:10.874
by her own earning power.

0:10:12.169,0:10:14.219
Grace also appeared in[br]commercials.

0:10:15.619,0:10:17.531
She was the girl-next-door,

0:10:17.869,0:10:19.898
the girl a man hoped they could[br]marry.

0:10:24.035,0:10:26.375
After graduating from the[br]American Academy,

0:10:26.375,0:10:28.372
Grace found parts in stock[br]companies

0:10:28.829,0:10:31.213
and her first professional role

0:10:31.393,0:10:34.769
in her uncle George Kelly's play:[br]'The Torch-Bearers'.

0:10:36.465,0:10:38.741
Then, came her first Broadway role

0:10:39.065,0:10:40.565
in a Strindberg play.

0:10:43.320,0:10:46.070
We all went up to Philadelphia[br]to see the opening night,

0:10:46.070,0:10:48.912
and dad did not know that [br]Raymond Massey was in the play.

0:10:49.763,0:10:52.145
Grace introduced her father to[br]Raymond and he said:

0:10:52.145,0:10:54.135
"Oh! Jack! How are you?" And he said:

0:10:54.135,0:10:56.275
"Is this your daughter? [br]I did not know that!"

0:10:56.475,0:11:01.936
So she did everything on her own[br]and did not want any help

0:11:02.189,0:11:03.940
from any of the family

0:11:04.070,0:11:06.119
because she said: "If I don't[br]do it myself,

0:11:07.499,0:11:09.349
I don't want to do it at all."

0:11:09.580,0:11:12.060
I was very taken by the way [br]she looked,

0:11:12.060,0:11:13.650
and the way she walked,

0:11:13.650,0:11:15.731
and specially her lovely voice.

0:11:16.304,0:11:18.234
She had a beautiful voice.

0:11:18.483,0:11:20.534
Except for the speech was not[br]yet

0:11:20.534,0:11:24.654
as an actress, blended with her[br]posture

0:11:24.654,0:11:28.554
with that stately figure that [br]she projected.

0:11:28.554,0:11:29.734
She studied,

0:11:29.734,0:11:33.011
she really applied herself to the[br]characters

0:11:33.011,0:11:35.761
that she was working on.

0:11:35.879,0:11:38.539
I met Grace Kelly early in her career

0:11:38.539,0:11:43.099
back in 1950 when I was directing [br]'Danger' for CBS Television.

0:11:43.548,0:11:46.033
Her mother came up, and I think[br]her brother

0:11:46.203,0:11:47.759
came up to watch her rehearsal,

0:11:47.959,0:11:50.579
and when the rehearsal was over,

0:11:50.579,0:11:52.139
I heard her mother say:

0:11:52.139,0:11:56.759
"Darling, your speech is affected [br]a little bit, can you, kind of, make it

0:11:56.759,0:11:58.229
more natural?"

0:11:58.229,0:12:00.168
and she said[br]"Mother, I'm working on it."

0:12:00.279,0:12:02.403
"Your city is full of sounds, listen..."

0:12:03.019,0:12:04.199
"I don't hear a thing."

0:12:04.199,0:12:06.660
"There is an automobile going past,[br]and a horse

0:12:07.360,0:12:08.730
and a boat in the harbour"

0:12:09.090,0:12:12.119
She played the lead in the 'Rich[br]Boy' for me.

0:12:13.139,0:12:14.209
"I'll take you."

0:12:14.209,0:12:14.939
"Will you?..."

0:12:14.939,0:12:18.332
Under the pressures of live television,

0:12:18.332,0:12:19.342
no retakes,

0:12:19.342,0:12:21.362
no ability to go back and change.

0:12:21.501,0:12:24.911
Television when they had flats [br]fall down on tea tables

0:12:24.911,0:12:28.119
and everybody was out there[br]improvising.

0:12:28.219,0:12:30.829
She performed absolutely[br]brillantly

0:12:30.829,0:12:33.759
and very quickly became one of[br]the

0:12:33.759,0:12:35.869
leading members of the so-called

0:12:36.432,0:12:37.498
"stock company,"

0:12:37.498,0:12:41.168
those actors that we would tend[br]to cast

0:12:41.168,0:12:42.409
over and over again.

0:12:42.833,0:12:45.593
"... basic I would say.

0:12:45.593,0:12:48.153
Oh, I must sound very snobbish[br]about the West."

0:12:48.153,0:12:49.435
"Oh! No! I'm interested,

0:12:49.435,0:12:51.409
I just never thought about it that way."

0:12:52.144,0:12:54.579
"Well, people in the West are more open."

0:12:54.679,0:12:55.474
"I'm open."

0:12:55.863,0:12:57.854
"That's because you've had a lot to[br]drink.

0:12:57.903,0:12:59.273
You drink a lot, don't you?"

0:12:59.273,0:13:00.093
"No!"

0:13:00.093,0:13:03.203
"I was watching you across the room,[br]you kept filling your glass."

0:13:03.203,0:13:04.488
"You were watching me?"

0:13:05.363,0:13:07.409
"And so were the other girls.

0:13:07.621,0:13:08.878
"Some men are like that,

0:13:09.156,0:13:10.458
they compel attention."

0:13:10.745,0:13:13.565
"I didn't even see you until just a[br]few minutes ago,

0:13:13.874,0:13:15.717
and I couldn't wait to be introduced."

0:13:15.954,0:13:17.524
"Some men are like that..."

0:13:18.179,0:13:21.439
The first time I saw Grace, I would[br]be hard-pressed

0:13:21.439,0:13:24.316
to describe her as the glamour[br]queen of the world.

0:13:24.499,0:13:28.059
During the rehearsal, she had a[br]pair of glasses on,

0:13:28.059,0:13:31.849
and they were just a little bit down[br]her nose,

0:13:31.849,0:13:34.367
and she had a terrible cold.

0:13:34.719,0:13:39.279
And she was quite withdrawn.

0:13:40.679,0:13:43.829
I remember we shook hands, but it[br]wasn't a very hearty handshake,

0:13:43.829,0:13:46.497
it was the handshake of a little girl.

0:13:46.759,0:13:49.575
And I thought: "Ooh, what a nice[br]school teacher!"

0:13:50.199,0:13:53.597
She's from Philadelphia, and that was[br]my first impression of Grace.

0:13:54.548,0:13:58.104
Grace was given a small part in[br]the movie 'Fourteen Hours'

0:13:58.398,0:14:00.528
in which she was hardly noticed.

0:14:01.242,0:14:03.886
She returned to television and to[br]stock theater.

0:14:05.751,0:14:09.331
Her big break came almost by[br]chance.

0:14:10.092,0:14:16.072
I met Grace in 1953 actually, going[br]through the receiving line

0:14:16.072,0:14:20.922
of my wedding to my then-[br]husband Jay Kanter,

0:14:20.922,0:14:22.252
who was her agent.

0:14:22.658,0:14:26.538
I was intrigued by her looks in the[br]photographs that Edie sent me

0:14:26.538,0:14:30.598
by her background, and probably[br]more by the fact that

0:14:30.598,0:14:34.871
she absolutely would not accept the[br]long-term studio contract

0:14:35.327,0:14:38.767
He was a young agent[br]I was a young producer

0:14:39.363,0:14:41.878
and he brought to me Marlon[br]Brando,

0:14:42.573,0:14:44.833
then he sent me a photograph of[br]Grace Kelly

0:14:44.833,0:14:46.878
at the time we were casting 'High Noon'.

0:14:47.393,0:14:51.633
Now, I wanted an unknown girl. I[br]asked to see her.

0:14:51.633,0:14:54.244
She came in from Denver for an[br]interview.

0:14:55.263,0:14:58.393
For an interview for a part in a[br]Western with white gloves

0:14:58.393,0:14:59.173
no less.

0:14:59.491,0:15:02.001
That goes way back when we were[br]children.

0:15:02.001,0:15:05.541
My mother insisted every time we[br]went into town:

0:15:05.541,0:15:07.726
"You wore hats and gloves."

0:15:08.231,0:15:11.619
That's not only my mother,[br]we were brought up at a convent,

0:15:11.619,0:15:15.109
and the nuns insisted that you[br]wore white gloves

0:15:15.109,0:15:16.269
on special occasions.

0:15:16.269,0:15:21.269
I went overboard because she had[br]that lady-like quality,

0:15:21.269,0:15:25.699
that kind of dignity, which was in[br]contrast to the Western scene,

0:15:25.699,0:15:28.469
which works so well. These are the[br]corporate.

0:15:28.469,0:15:30.033
"... Your lawful wedded husband,

0:15:30.033,0:15:32.222
to have and to hold, from this day[br]forward."

0:15:32.403,0:15:34.433
The reason I think she was miscast is that

0:15:34.533,0:15:36.423
Cooper was much older than Grace Kelly,

0:15:36.423,0:15:39.155
he was too old for Kelly, actually, [br]in the role.

0:15:39.495,0:15:43.142
She didn't believe that she did well[br]in the film,

0:15:43.665,0:15:45.337
I didn't think so either.

0:15:45.632,0:15:48.114
There was a girl in the film named[br]Katy Jurado,

0:15:48.217,0:15:50.337
who played the Mexican gal in the town,

0:15:50.437,0:15:53.268
Katy Jurado was dynamic and overpowering,

0:15:53.732,0:15:57.570
and yet, Kelly wasn't swallowed [br]even in her miscast

0:15:57.909,0:16:00.898
because this lady-like thing came through.

0:16:02.708,0:16:05.244
"... they were on the right side, but[br]that didn't help

0:16:05.244,0:16:06.500
when the shooting started.

0:16:07.143,0:16:10.421
My brother was 19.[br]I watched him die..."

0:16:11.199,0:16:14.587
For Grace Kelly was her first big break,

0:16:15.247,0:16:17.913
and for me, it was my first American[br]picture

0:16:18.187,0:16:19.514
making here in Hollywood.

0:16:20.060,0:16:22.946
I was two years older than she was,

0:16:23.380,0:16:25.582
I have seven years making pictures

0:16:25.582,0:16:29.301
in Mexico, but there was something

0:16:29.660,0:16:33.279
so different between Grace and I,

0:16:33.517,0:16:36.633
we could not really explain that we[br]could not be very close,

0:16:37.057,0:16:42.414
but I could see a girl with a lot of [br]dignity, and a lot of character

0:16:42.576,0:16:46.586
because she wants to be[br]somebody in movies

0:16:47.113,0:16:49.227
and she worked very hard in that picture.

0:16:49.433,0:16:55.633
She looked weak and very tiny, but[br]she was a very strong person.

0:16:55.633,0:17:00.233
I believe she was one of the [br]strongest movie stars I worked with.

0:17:00.591,0:17:04.729
She knew what you want,[br]and she did it.

0:17:04.959,0:17:06.377
(Music)

0:17:09.597,0:17:14.117
Gary Cooper went on to win an[br]Academy Award for Best Actor of 1952,

0:17:15.117,0:17:17.006
but there were no laurels for[br]Grace,

0:17:17.717,0:17:20.635
and she promptly headed back to[br]New York for more study.

0:17:21.837,0:17:24.697
She was a Kelly, and she had to do better.

0:17:25.218,0:17:28.048
We both probably read the thing[br]where she says that

0:17:28.048,0:17:29.886
"You can see everything in Gary

0:17:29.886,0:17:31.976
Cooper's eyes"[br]but that her eyes were

0:17:31.976,0:17:34.624
"flat and dull, and dead"[br]and that she didn't like them

0:17:34.624,0:17:37.009
she couldn't tell what the[br]character was feeling.

0:17:37.009,0:17:40.375
She began to work harder on [br]concentrating on her objective.

0:17:40.375,0:17:43.432
In other words, that would've

0:17:43.432,0:17:46.416
eventually be the cure for the way she

0:17:46.416,0:17:49.732
attacked her characters, to make[br]them come alive

0:17:49.732,0:17:52.472
to make her eyeballs shine with meaning.

0:17:52.974,0:17:59.790
She always had this inner image of[br]being an old-fashioned actress

0:17:59.790,0:18:02.179
with the kind of glamour that you[br]have on Broadway.

0:18:03.011,0:18:04.885
Grace was eager for a lead role in

0:18:04.885,0:18:08.040
a New York production of 'Cyrano[br]de Bergerac'.

0:18:08.759,0:18:11.599
I wanted to have Grace as Roxanne,

0:18:11.952,0:18:15.691
I wanted her, not because of her[br]great acting ability, but

0:18:15.691,0:18:19.214
because of that discipline that she[br]appeared to have.

0:18:19.465,0:18:22.445
Unfortunately, she never did[br]realize that

0:18:22.945,0:18:25.385
every part she went up for on[br]Broadway,

0:18:25.735,0:18:29.025
with the exception of 'The Father',[br]she lost.

0:18:29.761,0:18:31.749
And when she didn't get it, there

0:18:31.749,0:18:35.109
were mentions of it in the columns[br]and so on.

0:18:35.109,0:18:37.865
She was very, very distressed

0:18:38.199,0:18:41.292
and she picked herself up, and went on.

0:18:41.882,0:18:44.582
'Mogambo' was a picture that[br]Grace apparently

0:18:44.582,0:18:49.242
wanted to do very badly because[br]she was willing to

0:18:50.792,0:18:55.251
sign a long-term contract with[br]MGM to do the picture.

0:18:55.702,0:18:57.746
"Is that all you're going to do for[br]him?!"

0:18:58.998,0:19:01.028
"What do you expect me to[br]do, Mrs. Nordley,

0:19:01.028,0:19:02.977
crawl in bed with him and hold his[br]hand?"

0:19:03.789,0:19:07.999
The thought of playing opposite of[br]star-like Clark Gable

0:19:07.999,0:19:12.299
being directed by John Ford, a[br]fellow Irishman.

0:19:13.059,0:19:18.593
And I also think she was intrigued[br]with the idea of going to Africa.

0:19:19.469,0:19:23.329
On location for 'Mogambo', Clark[br]Gable described an incident

0:19:23.329,0:19:26.623
to Rupert Allan - then Look[br]magazine correspondent.

0:19:27.581,0:19:31.075
Grace was alone and was[br]discovered by Gable.

0:19:31.419,0:19:33.777
She turned to him and he saw that[br]she was crying,

0:19:34.209,0:19:36.137
and he said: "Why are you[br]crying, Grace?"

0:19:36.439,0:19:39.639
She says, "So beautiful. I'm reading[br]'The Snows of Kilimanjaro'

0:19:40.049,0:19:44.069
by Hemingway, and I looked up[br]and I was just reading about this

0:19:45.279,0:19:48.838
frozen leopard I think they[br]found way up in the snows

0:19:48.838,0:19:51.388
of this highest mountain in Africa,

0:19:51.388,0:19:53.818
and I looked up from my book[br]thinking about

0:19:53.818,0:19:56.398
what a beautiful picture it was[br]inside Hemingway,

0:19:56.848,0:20:00.028
and then I saw a lion walking along[br]the seashore.

0:20:00.758,0:20:02.078
It's just too beautiful."

0:20:02.758,0:20:06.451
She gave human personalities to[br]her animals

0:20:06.608,0:20:10.028
and very often she gave animal[br]personalities to humans.

0:20:10.538,0:20:13.888
She used to call some of her close[br]friends bird and she called

0:20:13.888,0:20:16.428
Rita bird, Jay bird, this bird, that[br]bird.

0:20:16.428,0:20:18.168
I mean, people and animals

0:20:18.168,0:20:20.140
became interchangeable with Grace.

0:20:24.937,0:20:26.905
Grace's role in 'Mogambo' earned

0:20:26.905,0:20:30.015
her an Academy Award[br]nomination as Best Supporting

0:20:30.015,0:20:31.876
Actress of 1953.

0:20:32.515,0:20:34.978
"What are you saying? You're[br]drunk!"

0:20:36.785,0:20:38.745
"You know how it is on safari.

0:20:39.385,0:20:42.815
It's in all of us, a woman[br]always falls for the White Hunter

0:20:42.815,0:20:45.557
and we guys make the most of it,[br]can you blame us?

0:20:46.510,0:20:49.200
Oh, when you come along with that[br]look in your eye..."

0:20:50.675,0:20:53.215
Some critics called her a star in[br]the making.

0:20:55.955,0:20:58.985
Few realized how luminous that[br]star would become,

0:20:59.665,0:21:01.427
and in how short a time.

0:21:04.750,0:21:07.820
Hollywood, as far as Jack and[br]Margaret Kelly were concerned,

0:21:07.820,0:21:10.400
was no place for a girl on her own.

0:21:11.043,0:21:13.723
On Sundays many times, we used[br]to go to church,

0:21:14.353,0:21:17.268
and then uncle George who lived[br]in Southern California

0:21:17.563,0:21:18.798
would come pick us up

0:21:19.413,0:21:22.871
and take us for a ride around and[br]take us to lunch,

0:21:23.553,0:21:26.434
and she enjoyed those rides with[br]George so much.

0:21:27.140,0:21:32.030
That I would sit in the backseat[br]and maybe take a little nap,

0:21:32.030,0:21:37.649
but the two of them would talk[br]theater and books and poetry.

0:21:38.023,0:21:40.875
Some of the people in town, the[br]studio heads,

0:21:40.875,0:21:43.606
were quite mystified by her,[br]they didn't understand why

0:21:43.606,0:21:45.513
she didn't wanna go their dinner[br]parties

0:21:45.513,0:21:49.487
and be seated next to all the 'A[br]people' that young actresses

0:21:49.487,0:21:51.080
should want to be seated next to.

0:21:51.080,0:21:52.919
She didn't rush out effusively

0:21:53.949,0:21:59.157
and reach forward to make lots[br]and lots of friends.

0:21:59.710,0:22:04.860
She got up five o'clock in the[br]morning, went on set, came home

0:22:04.860,0:22:07.000
and grabbed something to eat.

0:22:07.570,0:22:10.210
Usually a hamburger which was[br]Gracie's favorite food.

0:22:12.126,0:22:13.136
And then went to bed.

0:22:13.516,0:22:17.436
She was always charming, she was[br]never cold, she was never icy to

0:22:17.436,0:22:19.556
anybody on the set.

0:22:19.818,0:22:23.718
She could give that appearance of[br]coldness, of being sort of

0:22:23.718,0:22:29.228
above it all at all times, but inside,[br]she was a very often seething.

0:22:29.571,0:22:34.149
And she was a volatile person but[br]always under control.

0:22:34.278,0:22:37.872
Alfred Hitchcock used to say[br]about Grace Kelly

0:22:38.398,0:22:46.118
with his usual wit that her[br]apparent virginity was like

0:22:46.118,0:22:48.298
a mountain covered with snow,

0:22:48.858,0:22:51.348
but that the mountain was a[br]volcano.

0:22:56.303,0:23:01.253
In 1953, director Hitchcock found [br]in Grace his perfect heroine

0:23:07.013,0:23:14.303
It was a scene in 'Dial M for Murder'[br]where he wanted her to answer the phone

0:23:14.303,0:23:16.223
by putting on her bathrobe

0:23:16.763,0:23:22.453
and she said there was no reason for [br]her to put a bathrobe on, just to answer

0:23:22.453,0:23:25.153
a telephone, with no one else in the[br]house but her"

0:23:25.866,0:23:29.201
And he said: "What would you wear?"[br]She said: "I'll wear a night gown"

0:23:29.366,0:23:31.882
He said: "All right".[br]And it worked out very well

0:23:32.156,0:23:33.016
"Hello...

0:23:50.801,0:23:58.285
She seemed to know the movements[br]before Hitchcock

0:23:58.285,0:24:00.031
had anything to say about it

0:24:03.631,0:24:06.681
and I think Hitchcock liked that

0:24:07.833,0:24:09.667
I think everybody liked it

0:24:10.384,0:24:15.224
In the picture "Rear Window" Hitchcock[br]said to Grace,

0:24:15.798,0:24:21.853
"Now, you're going to go have to[br]go across and get into the room"

0:24:23.058,0:24:27.203
and Grace without any direction,[br]she just went over,

0:24:28.543,0:24:30.423
climbed up the fire escape

0:24:31.834,0:24:36.924
climbed in one of the windows and[br]sneaked in through the door

0:24:37.711,0:24:43.681
and then, looked over across [br]the way to Hitchcock and said:

0:24:44.859,0:24:46.303
"Is that what you mean?"

0:24:47.055,0:24:54.390
Well, everybody applauded, and she[br]deserved it because

0:24:55.322,0:24:59.202
this was exactly what Alfred Hitchcock [br]wanted

0:24:59.202,0:25:04.502
What Grace brought, as an actress,[br]was, Grace brought the actual young

0:25:04.502,0:25:09.349
women of the '50s into [br]a vision of glamour

0:25:09.615,0:25:12.755
It was a very proper era, in a way[br]very premier

0:25:12.755,0:25:17.321
Underneath that, of course, there was[br]always the sense of flirtatiousness

0:25:17.321,0:25:20.361
of young women, and the sense of fun

0:25:22.602,0:25:24.432
Grace had trully arrived

0:25:25.667,0:25:28.187
She appeared on the covers of [br]national magazines

0:25:29.841,0:25:32.952
But success meant more time spent [br]in Hollywood

0:25:33.852,0:25:37.492
She was really a family person, [br]she didn't like to be alone

0:25:37.963,0:25:41.393
I remember when she first went to [br]California to make films

0:25:41.943,0:25:46.313
she lived alone, and suddenly she asked[br]Rita Gam to come and live with her

0:25:46.313,0:25:50.801
and Grace let me in, and there she was[br]wearing the same Philadelphia skirt

0:25:50.801,0:25:55.801
same sensible shoes, the same tied[br]back hair, except now, she was becoming

0:25:55.801,0:26:04.599
a very valuable property, I had no idea[br]that her background was one of opulence

0:26:05.312,0:26:10.938
I thought of her as a coworker[br]an actress

0:26:11.432,0:26:17.572
Then, out of the clear blue sky,[br]and very directly, openly and warmly

0:26:17.661,0:26:21.502
she said: "Would you like to share the [br]flat?

0:26:21.882,0:26:23.891
How would that fit in with your [br]schedule?"

0:26:23.891,0:26:25.711
I said, "Well I get up at 5am"

0:26:25.711,0:26:28.888
She said "I get up at 5 too"[br]I said: "We can both go to sleep at 9"

0:26:28.888,0:26:30.488
She said "Terrific! that's it"

0:26:30.488,0:26:34.658
I think, the thing that most people forget[br]is that when all of this was happening

0:26:34.658,0:26:38.868
to Grace, this extraordinary excitement[br]about her career being generated

0:26:40.348,0:26:43.458
and roles with the world's most famous[br]leading men

0:26:43.848,0:26:46.768
and the world's most respected directors,

0:26:47.208,0:26:49.278
she was just a girl in her early 20s

0:26:49.428,0:26:52.470
One time in Hollywood, we were invited [br]to what turned out to be

0:26:52.470,0:26:55.190
a dinner party with two bachelors

0:26:55.190,0:26:58.840
We thought it was going to be this [br]grand party with a lot of people

0:26:58.840,0:27:01.410
and, there we were, and the lights were[br]getting lower

0:27:01.410,0:27:06.400
and the wine was getting heavier, and[br]I was getting very nervous

0:27:06.827,0:27:10.155
and I knudged Grace under the table

0:27:10.764,0:27:13.609
Grace had her glasses on, I think that[br]was her protection

0:27:13.609,0:27:18.204
mine, was sort of chatting nervously[br]and say "let's go, let's go Grace"

0:27:18.204,0:27:22.134
and she whispered back "Let's wait[br]until after dessert, it might be good"

0:27:23.003,0:27:26.723
'The Bridges at Toko-Ri' gave Grace[br]the opportunity to play opposite

0:27:26.723,0:27:30.091
an actor she admired: William Holden

0:27:31.448,0:27:34.309
"Harry, you've got to tell me about[br]those bridges"

0:27:37.096,0:27:40.286
The kind of concentration that a [br]good actor was capable of

0:27:40.826,0:27:42.466
would definitely infect her

0:27:45.477,0:27:47.897
"I know we're not going to fly[br]above the mountains"

0:27:50.190,0:27:51.763
"We're going to fly between them"

0:27:51.763,0:27:56.123
It would make her respond, and in that[br]way you could see that she had a nervous

0:27:56.123,0:27:58.225
system that was similar to ?

0:27:58.225,0:27:59.527
She reacted immediately

0:27:59.527,0:28:02.526
"You didn't want to tell me because [br]you didn't want me to worry

0:28:04.597,0:28:08.467
well, I don't want you to worry either[br]about me, I mean"

0:28:12.256,0:28:14.560
"I know what the admiral was trying to[br]tell me,

0:28:16.388,0:28:18.302
I had to face those bridges too"

0:28:19.813,0:28:23.373
Director George Seaton was impressed[br]by Grace's performance

0:28:23.733,0:28:27.533
and wanted her for the demanding role [br]of the wife in 'The Country Girl'

0:28:28.796,0:28:33.447
But, before releasing her, MGM insisted[br]she appear in 'Green Fire'

0:28:35.196,0:28:40.503
Which, wasn't one of her favorites films[br]she was tired when she started

0:28:40.503,0:28:44.247
She had done about 6 pictures in a row[br]and she had to go to South America

0:28:44.247,0:28:48.817
A film like 'Green Fire' that absolutely [br]made her blazing mad

0:28:48.817,0:28:52.947
I mean, she said: "This is not what I[br]wanted to be an actress for"

0:28:52.947,0:28:58.871
But she did do it in order to get the[br]part in "The Country Girl"

0:28:59.168,0:29:03.408
"At the moment all I want is for you to[br]get dressed so we can get out of here"

0:29:04.586,0:29:05.866
"Who is in New York?"

0:29:06.659,0:29:10.339
"Frank, I am warning you, I'm going to hit[br]you with the first thing I pick up"

0:29:10.339,0:29:14.339
The greatest expression of courage that [br]Grace demonstrated was the throwing

0:29:14.339,0:29:18.339
away of her mask of beauty and [br]of her elegance

0:29:18.695,0:29:22.120
Nobody understood at all, I mean[br]why would this gorgeous creature

0:29:22.120,0:29:25.742
want to be seen in an old tacky[br]sweater with her hair pulled back

0:29:25.742,0:29:27.420
in a bun, looking haggard

0:29:27.420,0:29:30.177
She desperately wanted to be this[br]great actress

0:29:30.788,0:29:34.618
"You'll be in the strong, sober hands of[br]Bernie Dodd"

0:29:34.618,0:29:37.828
"Can you stand him up on his feet[br]again? Because that's where all my

0:29:37.828,0:29:42.441
prayers have gone; to see that one holy[br]hour when he can stand alone again"

0:29:42.441,0:29:43.181
"Listen"

0:29:43.181,0:29:47.408
"And I might forgive even you[br]Mr. Dodd, if you can keep 'em up long

0:29:47.408,0:29:49.348
enough for me to get out from under"

0:29:49.795,0:29:54.195
"All I want is my own name and a modest[br]job to buy sugar for my coffee"

0:29:54.195,0:29:56.786
"Would you listen-"[br]- "You can't believe that, can you?

0:29:56.786,0:29:59.345
You can't believe that a woman is crazy

0:29:59.345,0:30:03.020
out of her mind to live alone, in one[br]room by herself"

0:30:03.020,0:30:04.397
"Listen to me, listen to me"

0:30:04.397,0:30:07.359
"Why are you holding me?[br]I said you're holding me!"

0:30:26.185,0:30:31.000
"How could you be so angry, someone[br]who didn't even know?

0:30:32.681,0:30:37.661
In the single year of 1954, she had[br]completed 4 major films

0:30:37.661,0:30:39.549
"Grace Kelly for 'The Country Girl'"

0:30:39.549,0:30:40.849
and won an Academy Award

0:30:46.367,0:30:49.107
She was pronounced one of Hollywood's[br]major stars

0:30:50.511,0:30:53.762
She was 24, but it seemed she had it all

0:30:55.213,0:30:58.943
This is after Grace had enormous[br]success in films and bought a very big

0:30:58.943,0:31:03.643
posh apartment, and I have an image[br]of her father walking through the lobby

0:31:04.129,0:31:06.524
and Grace peering out saying:

0:31:06.524,0:31:09.757
"There he is, he's coming"[br]and it was as if this fictional character

0:31:09.757,0:31:14.370
the Great Gatsby, had come down to look[br]at her apartment

0:31:14.347,0:31:19.207
and she really wanted to prove to[br]him that she had accomplished a

0:31:19.207,0:31:24.187
great deal, and that was the first[br]time I got a sense of an undercurrent

0:31:24.187,0:31:27.807
of something other than this picture[br]of family

0:31:29.447,0:31:36.227
Grace dated, but no one really seriously[br]until the latter part of her career

0:31:38.639,0:31:42.010
There were so many people that were[br]in love with her

0:31:42.500,0:31:43.724
Most men were

0:31:44.320,0:31:49.878
She had that quality of, I don't know,[br]turning men on

0:31:50.859,0:31:55.140
She was going to be my maid of honour[br]and when I, baby sister

0:31:55.140,0:31:59.110
was getting married,[br]she started to think about

0:32:00.890,0:32:02.590
"Well, I want to get married too"

0:32:02.890,0:32:07.240
I was married in June, and I think I[br]broke the news that I was pregnant

0:32:07.240,0:32:11.180
and am going to have a baby in May[br]and she said: "Lizzie, you are going to

0:32:11.180,0:32:15.502
have a baby! Oh! I want a baby,[br]I'm missing things"

0:32:16.521,0:32:20.926
In 1955, Grace would appear in a film [br]that would change her life

0:32:21.794,0:32:26.204
Location worked for 'To Catch a Thief'[br]to a place near the ancient principality

0:32:26.204,0:32:27.179
of Monaco

0:32:27.835,0:32:32.430
Her co star would be Cary Grant, once[br]again, she was directed

0:32:32.430,0:32:33.791
by Alfred Hitchcock

0:32:36.053,0:32:43.110
What he extracted from her[br]combination of the cool beauty

0:32:43.725,0:32:49.150
who held it all back and then just[br]gave that just enough to be tantalising

0:32:49.836,0:32:54.141
and just enough to make the leading [br]man and the audience want a little more

0:33:00.131,0:33:02.291
"Ever had a better offer[br]in your whole life?"

0:33:03.036,0:33:04.246
"One worth everything?"

0:33:07.518,0:33:09.428
"I never had a crazier one"

0:33:10.799,0:33:13.269
"Just as long as you are satisfied"

0:33:16.750,0:33:19.640
"You know as well as I do[br]this neckless is an invitation"

0:33:21.390,0:33:22.229
"Well, I'm not"

0:33:32.058,0:33:35.558
She had a lot of beau's and[br]boyfriends who were actors and

0:33:35.558,0:33:39.558
human beings, and dress designers, and[br]this and that but there wasn't

0:33:39.558,0:33:45.315
this one person who could fulfill[br]this childhood image that many

0:33:45.315,0:33:49.315
of us have about wanting that one man[br]in our life to be special and

0:33:49.892,0:33:52.370
really, to be the old prince on the [br]white ?

0:33:55.034,0:33:59.292
A French magazine had decided the[br]palace in Monaco would be a perfect

0:33:59.292,0:34:02.202
background for Grace or a publicity[br]layout

0:34:04.266,0:34:08.526
And then, Prince Rainier indicated he[br]was willing to meet the beautiful star

0:34:10.506,0:34:15.266
Though he was known as a shy and[br]modest man, Prince Rainier III was called

0:34:15.266,0:34:17.346
Europe's most eligible bachelor

0:34:17.880,0:34:21.258
And his meeting with Grace[br]immediately provoked interest

0:34:21.529,0:34:24.899
"Rumors linking you with, virtually[br]everybody, and the latest one is

0:34:24.899,0:34:28.250
with Grace Kelly, would you comment on [br]that for us?"

0:34:28.250,0:34:31.820
"No, I just met Grace Kelly,[br]she came to the palace when she was

0:34:31.820,0:34:34.480
at Canne's, for the festival, and that's[br]all of it"

0:34:34.700,0:34:37.790
"Although, many stories say that you[br]are actively seeking a wife

0:34:37.800,0:34:41.800
would you care to comment on that?"[br]"No, I'm not"

0:34:42.417,0:34:46.197
"What if you did meet a girl that you[br]like? Would the publicity about it

0:34:46.197,0:34:50.286
prevent you from do anything about it?"[br]"No, it shouldn't, I don't think it should

0:34:51.273,0:34:54.507
"If you were to marry, what kind of girl[br]do you have in mind?"

0:34:55.981,0:34:58.242
"I don't know, the best"

0:34:59.681,0:35:03.441
Being the best is a lesson Jack Kelly[br]had drilled into his children

0:35:04.152,0:35:08.002
Grace had excelled, she had reached[br]the top of her profession

0:35:08.661,0:35:11.431
But, for Grace Kelly there had to be more

0:35:13.482,0:35:18.322
MGM had no idea of Grace's future[br]when they cast her in a film that was

0:35:18.322,0:35:19.622
oddly prophetic

0:35:20.493,0:35:21.303
'The Swan'

0:35:22.821,0:35:28.945
It was based on a play by Molnár and[br]the story was very simply the story

0:35:28.945,0:35:29.775
of a princess

0:35:31.472,0:35:33.352
"I want to be so good to you"

0:35:34.685,0:35:38.969
"Oh, I want a hundred things, I want to[br]tell you everything that's in my heart

0:35:38.969,0:35:42.379
all my secrets, I adore Napoleon too"

0:35:44.254,0:35:45.514
"Yes, Princess"

0:35:48.419,0:35:50.839
"I want to hear you call me by my name"

0:35:52.592,0:35:53.592
"Alexandra"

0:35:55.996,0:35:56.926
"Alexandra"

0:35:58.430,0:36:03.491
There was an innate aristocracy, [br]elegance about her

0:36:03.491,0:36:09.046
not only in comportment, in manners[br]but also in thinking, in being

0:36:10.857,0:36:16.538
It has been a cliché to say that [br]Grace Kelly looked like a Princess

0:36:16.868,0:36:18.138
but, she did

0:36:21.184,0:36:26.024
There was another element in[br]Grace Kelly that was all important

0:36:26.800,0:36:34.283
she had this extraordinary sense of [br]humour not only, and first of all

0:36:34.283,0:36:35.263
about herself

0:36:35.884,0:36:39.105
Never taking herself seriously

0:36:39.967,0:36:43.967
During filming of 'The Swan'[br]Alec Guinness had an Indian tomahawk

0:36:43.967,0:36:47.967
smuggled into Grace's bed, and she [br]quickly returned the compliment

0:36:48.937,0:36:51.097
the joke would continue for years

0:36:51.561,0:36:55.777
They never spoke about finding it[br]nor passing it along

0:36:56.142,0:36:58.531
It just dissapeared, it went from one[br]to the other

0:36:59.021,0:37:03.182
I get back home one night, I'm playing[br]in a show, get into bed and I

0:37:03.640,0:37:09.228
say to my wife: "For God's sake, why[br]on Earth do we need a cold hot water

0:37:09.228,0:37:11.468
bottle? Why do we need[br]the hot water bottle?"

0:37:11.468,0:37:15.458
She said "I don't know what you're talking[br]about." It was this identical tomahawk

0:37:16.393,0:37:20.903
Somehow, Alec Guinness got it [br]into the Palace, at least once into

0:37:20.903,0:37:21.893
Grace's bed

0:37:22.030,0:37:27.480
"So, while she was downstairs, the [br]tomahawk was put under the ?"

0:37:27.480,0:37:30.694
So, she ended up with the tomahawk.[br]She read in the papers in Europe

0:37:30.694,0:37:32.655
that he was being honoured by the Academy

0:37:32.655,0:37:34.344
of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences

0:37:34.580,0:37:38.970
I stayed at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel[br]clasping my Oscar

0:37:39.470,0:37:43.680
got back at 3 in the morning or whatever [br]it was, and there in my bed

0:37:43.680,0:37:45.840
in the Wilshire Hotel was the tomahawk

0:37:45.940,0:37:51.470
Out of this extraordinarily withdrawn, [br]glamorous, glacial personality

0:37:52.374,0:37:56.666
poured forth this sense of the ridiculous[br]that only the British currently

0:37:56.666,0:37:59.385
appreciate, or a 5 year-old child

0:37:59.909,0:38:02.930
"? that finnishing school, [br]I think they finished her there"

0:38:03.664,0:38:04.454
"Come on mother"

0:38:04.454,0:38:09.654
Jessie Royce Landis played Grace[br]Kelly's mother in two films

0:38:10.212,0:38:14.495
and when Grace married Prince [br]Rainier she said:

0:38:14.495,0:38:17.032
"I'm the one who advised her to marry[br]him

0:38:17.215,0:38:19.922
and told her 'that would be your [br]greatest role'"

0:38:20.401,0:38:24.311
And one Monday morning she came into[br]LB Mayor's office

0:38:24.930,0:38:26.140
and said:

0:38:28.174,0:38:31.218
"Mr. Mayor I'm going to get married"

0:38:31.814,0:38:35.834
Well he said: "Jeez, that's wonderful I'll[br]have a big reception for you upstairs

0:38:36.059,0:38:39.349
with everybody in Hollywood"[br]"No" she says

0:38:39.349,0:38:41.499
"Mr. Mayor, you don't quite understand"

0:38:43.066,0:38:45.876
Grace Kelly had been news worthy as [br]a movie actress

0:38:46.294,0:38:48.584
but now, her importance soared

0:38:48.817,0:38:51.307
"Grace Kelly, how are you feeling on this[br]occasion?"

0:38:52.011,0:38:54.671
"Needless to say that I am very [br]very happy"

0:38:55.069,0:38:56.619
"How about you Mr. Kelly?"

0:38:57.478,0:39:00.598
"Well, I think you can't interfere [br]with love if you're in love

0:39:00.598,0:39:01.898
with each other"

0:39:02.338,0:39:03.818
"I gave my blessing"

0:39:04.562,0:39:08.332
Reporters hung on every word [br]and were alert to every move

0:39:08.332,0:39:10.892
made by Grace or Prince Rainier

0:39:10.892,0:39:13.652
"Will you continue with your career [br]after your marriage?"

0:39:13.652,0:39:16.852
"That decision will be made by [br]the Prince"

0:39:16.852,0:39:20.852
"Is Mrs. Kelly going to make any more[br]movies as far as you know?"

0:39:20.852,0:39:22.182
"I don't think so"

0:39:22.182,0:39:26.856
He did come to the house that [br]Christmas and Don and I had

0:39:26.856,0:39:30.114
our own little apartment, and we asked[br]them over for dinner

0:39:30.114,0:39:33.084
and he fit in very well[br]even helped with the dishes

0:39:33.694,0:39:37.842
When we first met him, he might have been[br]shocked, when we'd say: "Come on Raini"

0:39:37.842,0:39:40.032
you know, but he

0:39:40.265,0:39:42.325
just fit into the family beautifully

0:39:42.495,0:39:45.165
"George, lie down here please"

0:39:45.292,0:39:46.092
"Crazy!"

0:39:46.235,0:39:50.127
In 1956, Grace made her last Hollywood [br]film

0:39:50.377,0:39:51.447
'High Society'

0:39:52.149,0:39:55.539
In it, she proudly wore her new [br]engagement ring

0:40:00.393,0:40:03.123
The sense of style

0:40:03.386,0:40:06.018
"How do you do? I'm Tracy Lord"

0:40:06.403,0:40:09.813
High comedy performances[br]she gave in 'High Society'

0:40:10.961,0:40:14.258
vastly different from anything that she[br]had ever done before

0:40:14.598,0:40:16.338
"Did you get lost finding us?"

0:40:16.338,0:40:18.657
- "No, not at all, we had good directions"[br]- "Good"

0:40:18.657,0:40:21.957
- "You don't mind our being here for your wedding?"[br]- "Oh, I'm delighted

0:40:21.957,0:40:23.138
we have so much cake"

0:40:23.138,0:40:24.638
"What is your name dear?"

0:40:24.638,0:40:28.638
Grace's sense of fun would never again[br]be as publicly revealed

0:40:28.988,0:40:30.626
"My name is Elizabeth Imbrie"

0:40:31.705,0:40:33.465
"Elizabeth Imbrie"

0:40:34.532,0:40:38.381
"Oh! It sounds like a medieval saint who[br]was burned to death"

0:40:39.291,0:40:40.281
"And you?"

0:40:40.850,0:40:45.800
She had made this extraordinary [br]luminous climb to the absolute top

0:40:45.800,0:40:46.980
apex of the industry

0:40:47.430,0:40:50.241
A lot of people have this quality,[br]and have no electricity

0:40:50.600,0:40:51.718
She combined them

0:40:52.088,0:40:54.538
She could have called the shots[br]from then on, I mean

0:40:54.538,0:40:57.420
she was finally in a position[br]not to have to argue about the

0:40:57.420,0:41:01.296
films she wanted to do, people would [br]have bought things for her

0:41:01.296,0:41:04.936
they would have planned productions[br]around her, they would have done anything

0:41:05.092,0:41:11.043
and she fell in love, and she said:[br]"Bye! I'm going off to be

0:41:11.177,0:41:15.177
Mrs. in this case, the Princess of [br]Monaco

0:41:15.411,0:41:19.611
and, before we all knew it, she[br]was gone

0:41:20.380,0:41:25.160
Grace Kelly had never really enjoyed the[br]publicity that came with stardom

0:41:25.747,0:41:30.368
Now, she would feel the burden of true[br]international celebrity

0:41:30.966,0:41:35.566
I don't know how she was able to[br]protect that small

0:41:35.870,0:41:43.160
core that's so necessary,[br]that keeps you sane, but she did

0:41:46.383,0:41:52.863
She was able under the most [br]extraordinary mirage of the press

0:41:53.593,0:41:58.580
and personal need that people[br]had, I mean, people just

0:41:59.020,0:42:02.796
I don't know why they do it, but[br]they seem to want to get inside

0:42:03.126,0:42:08.666
particularly, the press, of a person's[br]soul, and Grace had the extraordinary

0:42:08.666,0:42:14.250
ability of not rising above it -[br]separating herself from it

0:42:14.250,0:42:20.515
It was almost a mystical kind of [br]ability she had to be the quiet

0:42:20.515,0:42:22.905
eye in the middle of a horrendous[br]hurricane

0:42:23.175,0:42:28.265
And, there she was, just firm and[br]sure and calm

0:42:29.247,0:42:33.247
"... exciting thing and I am [br]very very happy, sometimes a little sad

0:42:33.247,0:42:36.927
to be away from home, but I hope[br]to be back quite often"

0:42:37.560,0:42:43.874
She chose as any average young woman[br]would, her 6 best friends and her sister

0:42:44.490,0:42:48.255
to attend her at her wedding to the Prince

0:42:48.987,0:42:53.847
And then, Grace Kelly of Philadelphia[br]with most of her family, and many of

0:42:53.847,0:42:58.979
her closest friends, sailed away[br]to become a Princess

0:43:04.839,0:43:09.184
Prince Rainier's yacht bears his betrothed[br]into the harbour at Monaco

0:43:09.184,0:43:10.865
a few hours earlier, Grace Kelly...

0:43:10.865,0:43:15.035
Once we arrived in Monaco it was, of[br]course, all the madness that one has seen

0:43:15.035,0:43:18.271
over the years of what went on

0:43:18.850,0:43:22.760
They came by the thousands, to[br]welcome and to judge

0:43:23.566,0:43:28.070
She was rich, she was beautiful[br]but, she was an American

0:43:28.370,0:43:31.298
and, to some of them, just an actress

0:43:32.087,0:43:36.577
I think Grace had tough job being[br]a movie star from America

0:43:37.808,0:43:43.226
moving into the life of the symbol[br]of Southern countries

0:43:45.351,0:43:52.008
Constant round of parties and being part[br]of this glamorous and mythological event

0:43:52.758,0:43:57.778
and just simply being around royalty[br]was new to all of us

0:44:02.577,0:44:07.727
As Grace took up a totally new role,[br]some who did not know her watched

0:44:08.041,0:44:10.051
and waited for her to fail

0:44:25.090,0:44:30.500
It was like a fairy tale, all of it and[br]that's the part that we got to

0:44:30.500,0:44:31.679
be part of

0:44:34.481,0:44:37.091
It was not a fairy tale

0:44:39.152,0:44:41.519
Grace relaxed at her husband's side

0:44:42.829,0:44:46.829
but she knew to the Monegasques she[br]now had to prove herself worthy

0:44:47.070,0:44:49.012
of being the wife of their ruler

0:44:49.369,0:44:51.042
Prince Rainier III

0:44:59.664,0:45:06.504
The last time I saw Grace was in my own[br]imagination when she was on the yacht

0:45:06.942,0:45:11.869
chug chug chugging away into the [br]Mediterranean after the wedding was over

0:45:11.869,0:45:14.779
and I realized that there was no more[br]Grace Kelly

0:45:14.779,0:45:17.889
Grace Kelly was a memory, Grace Kelly[br]was history, there was only

0:45:17.889,0:45:19.147
Princess Grace of Monaco

0:45:19.147,0:45:21.407
Then we all went home and she stayed[br]there

0:45:21.557,0:45:26.661
This was a very hard challenge for her[br]because, not only the language barrier

0:45:27.151,0:45:32.261
but in a foreign world, foreign customs

0:45:33.730,0:45:37.670
and the principality, the formal way of[br]doing things

0:45:38.138,0:45:44.042
She kept studying things that would[br]enforce her position as Princess

0:45:44.376,0:45:49.466
She utilised everything around[br]her, she improvised on being a Princess

0:45:49.466,0:45:52.676
the way a really good actress would[br]improvise on a part

0:45:52.836,0:45:56.762
For example, she always tried to[br]simplify things

0:45:57.022,0:46:02.272
Alexandre, the hairdresser in Paris, fixed[br]for her a number of special pieces of

0:46:02.272,0:46:03.492
hair attachments

0:46:03.492,0:46:07.492
So, when she would travel with all [br]these fancy aristocrats

0:46:08.190,0:46:12.390
while they were making appointments[br]with hairdressers, everywhere we went

0:46:12.550,0:46:17.621
Grace was always ready with one of [br]these hairpieces that she was making

0:46:17.742,0:46:19.662
into some kind of a wonderful hairdo

0:46:19.946,0:46:21.336
Never took extra time

0:46:21.994,0:46:25.233
Since she was, fundamentally[br]a working woman

0:46:27.633,0:46:33.213
She did everything with a great[br]purpose, and sense of responsibility

0:46:36.304,0:46:39.064
On cultural or diplomatic occasions

0:46:40.390,0:46:41.780
with Presidents

0:46:42.720,0:46:43.700
or with Popes

0:46:44.530,0:46:46.180
she was expected to be perfect

0:46:46.568,0:46:47.488
in bearing,

0:46:47.711,0:46:50.671
and often, in her newly acquired language

0:46:50.836,0:46:56.926
(Speaking French)

0:46:57.081,0:47:00.131
It was something that I am amazed that she

0:47:00.590,0:47:01.350
could handle

0:47:01.710,0:47:06.040
I wondered so many times,[br]'Oh, I could never do that'

0:47:06.620,0:47:09.270
but she was determined[br]to make the best of it

0:47:09.270,0:47:13.681
"Can I ask you to explain what will [br]happen in the event twins are born

0:47:13.801,0:47:15.631
a boy second, and a girl first

0:47:15.730,0:47:17.780
Who would be the ruling monarch?"

0:47:18.808,0:47:22.296
"The successor would be the eldest [br]child, even if it's a girl

0:47:22.537,0:47:24.827
but that doesn't mean that[br]she will rule, because

0:47:25.087,0:47:28.347
she can always resign or abdicate[br]in favour of her younger brother

0:47:28.428,0:47:29.548
and he would then rule"

0:47:29.647,0:47:30.957
"Are twins expected?"

0:47:31.148,0:47:32.618
"Not that I know of"

0:47:33.198,0:47:37.224
"Princess Grace, is your life how you [br]imagined it would be before you became

0:47:37.224,0:47:38.094
a princess?"

0:47:38.708,0:47:45.018
"Well I became Princess before I had[br]much time to imagine what it would be"

0:47:47.358,0:47:52.628
With the birth of a daughter, Caroline,[br]on January 23rd 1957

0:47:53.058,0:47:55.998
The line of succession was secure

0:48:00.481,0:48:03.751
Just 15 months later, a male heir, Albert

0:48:04.037,0:48:06.652
arrived to even greater celebration

0:48:09.111,0:48:11.891
I think the major thing came[br]when she had the children

0:48:12.041,0:48:14.141
and they did come very quickly

0:48:15.831,0:48:18.841
She wanted the children, she loved them

0:48:18.881,0:48:21.551
and we had so much fun[br]rough-housing together

0:48:21.771,0:48:24.521
Her children and mine are the same age

0:48:25.161,0:48:27.881
and they've gone to camp together

0:48:29.301,0:48:32.340
Don and I have been to Monaco[br]several times with the children

0:48:32.831,0:48:34.821
and they've come here to Ocean City

0:48:39.414,0:48:40.794
Their needs were the same

0:48:41.536,0:48:43.526
for closeness, and for family

0:48:44.314,0:48:46.144
In addition to her own children

0:48:46.434,0:48:48.724
Grace would always have the Kelly's

0:48:50.854,0:48:54.724
Prince Rainier soon found himself[br]an accepted part of that family

0:48:56.314,0:48:57.664
Grace always adored

0:48:58.534,0:49:01.944
children, and she almost[br]over-adored her own children

0:49:02.140,0:49:05.030
she was the typical loving

0:49:05.434,0:49:08.094
sometimes too disciplining

0:49:08.544,0:49:10.664
but always giving, mother

0:49:12.974,0:49:15.284
Private time was essential for them both

0:49:16.454,0:49:20.064
family life was a retreat[br]from the formalities of state

0:49:21.936,0:49:24.616
Grace was determined[br]to keep her family a success

0:49:25.696,0:49:28.036
No matter how demanding[br]her official schedule

0:49:28.726,0:49:30.976
there was always time for her children

0:49:33.837,0:49:35.037
There were the trips home

0:49:35.446,0:49:37.216
often with Prince Rainier

0:49:39.636,0:49:41.926
There was the anniversary[br]for Margaret Kelly

0:49:42.656,0:49:44.636
and her growing brood of grandchildren

0:49:51.326,0:49:53.866
For Prince Rainier, cruises on his yacht

0:49:53.996,0:49:56.516
meant he could indulge[br]his passion for fishing

0:50:02.910,0:50:06.360
Then, there was the time set aside[br]for enjoying the palace pool

0:50:06.580,0:50:08.280
with children and friends

0:50:09.810,0:50:11.870
I think she held on to her old friends

0:50:12.130,0:50:14.180
in those beginning years because

0:50:14.590,0:50:16.380
they were her reality as Grace Kelly

0:50:16.500,0:50:18.570
and she didn't want to lose Grace Kelly

0:50:20.010,0:50:24.130
There was never any loss of the sense [br]that she was Gracie from Philadelphia

0:50:24.840,0:50:25.940
She was

0:50:26.590,0:50:28.250
a girl with an American soul

0:50:30.700,0:50:34.750
and heart, and she brought that[br]to Monaco with her, and she never

0:50:35.220,0:50:37.380
she never chipped away at that at all

0:50:41.134,0:50:45.804
In the back of Grace's mind was always[br]the possibility of going back to being

0:50:45.804,0:50:46.824
a film star

0:50:46.824,0:50:49.254
I think she kept it there for those rainy[br]nights

0:50:49.845,0:50:52.846
I would occasionally read a script

0:50:53.629,0:50:55.370
that would intrigue me

0:50:55.846,0:50:57.556
I'd call her and send it on

0:50:57.804,0:51:01.834
The opportunity arose to do 'Marnie'[br]I think she leapt at it

0:51:02.207,0:51:05.477
I couldn't understand why she would[br]want to do it, and why Hitchcock

0:51:05.477,0:51:06.437
would want to do it

0:51:06.437,0:51:10.157
The Monegasques were absolutely, [br]completely undone because

0:51:10.157,0:51:12.062
they thought that she had abandoned[br]them

0:51:12.062,0:51:16.052
I think, that the thing that convinced her[br]that she couldn't do it was that she was

0:51:16.052,0:51:17.312
the Princess of the Church

0:51:18.090,0:51:19.911
once she believed that

0:51:20.611,0:51:24.611
dignity of being the Princess of the[br]capital Church was more important than

0:51:25.075,0:51:26.435
being an actress

0:51:26.576,0:51:29.226
she accepted it, but I think it took a [br]long time

0:51:31.810,0:51:35.258
In 1965, seven years after the birth of[br]Albert,

0:51:35.876,0:51:37.066
Stephanie was born

0:51:38.001,0:51:40.673
Once Grace's life as a performing artist

0:51:43.185,0:51:46.525
seemed to come to a close as she became[br]Princess of Monaco

0:51:48.218,0:51:53.098
She didn't discard her feelings for the[br]arts, any part of them

0:51:53.419,0:51:57.089
I got a letter from Grace saying that [br]she was going around doing poetry

0:51:57.089,0:51:58.489
readings for

0:51:59.250,0:52:01.572
a theatre in London that was being built

0:52:01.572,0:52:03.624
So, basically, Grace was an artist

0:52:03.909,0:52:05.921
and she did it through poetry

0:52:06.130,0:52:09.844
she wanted very much to have Monaco[br]be a cultural centre

0:52:10.280,0:52:13.380
Grace established a foundation to [br]further her goals

0:52:14.195,0:52:17.455
The Monegasques had been without [br]a playhouse for many years

0:52:18.285,0:52:19.795
a new one was built

0:52:20.412,0:52:23.972
Today, this theatre draws drama [br]companies from around the world

0:52:27.661,0:52:31.311
Once, the famous Ballet Russe of [br]Montecarlo danced here

0:52:32.372,0:52:35.512
Grace was determined to bring those [br]great days back

0:52:39.554,0:52:41.854
A ballet company must have a school

0:52:42.908,0:52:45.908
Through the Princess Grace foundation[br]a small school

0:52:45.908,0:52:48.336
run by one of ballet's foremost teachers

0:52:48.868,0:52:52.188
has been transformed into a[br]world-class academy

0:52:54.621,0:52:57.911
Both Caroline and Stephanie had [br]studied here as small children

0:53:00.208,0:53:02.898
Grace was frequently more of an onlooker

0:53:04.377,0:53:06.967
I remember a particular

0:53:08.612,0:53:13.022
general rehearsal when she asked me[br]"Do you think I could make them up?"

0:53:14.364,0:53:17.854
And all the little children gathered [br]around her

0:53:18.419,0:53:21.409
all the faces stood towards the Princess

0:53:21.864,0:53:24.734
and she was putting a little bit of rouge[br]on the

0:53:25.761,0:53:28.381
cheeks, and a little bit of lipstick [br]on the lips

0:53:29.654,0:53:33.654
It was a love of children and of[br]ballet that led to one of Grace's

0:53:33.654,0:53:35.064
few returns to film

0:53:35.943,0:53:41.087
The 1979, Earle Mack documentary[br]'The Children of Theatre Street'

0:53:41.400,0:53:43.644
about young dancers in Leningrad

0:53:45.486,0:53:46.716
They are the protagonists

0:53:47.564,0:53:50.124
but as their predecessors have [br]demonstrated

0:53:50.822,0:53:54.592
perhaps the greater protagonist is [br]the school they go to

0:53:55.257,0:53:59.257
"Angelina has practised these movements [br]hundreds and hundreds of times"

0:54:00.249,0:54:03.889
In the next 6 years, she will repeat them[br]thousands of times"

0:54:08.105,0:54:11.015
What makes it worth it is this"

0:54:15.047,0:54:17.637
Grace knew the demands of great[br]performance

0:54:20.050,0:54:24.527
but for the Monegasques, Grace herself[br]had gone beyond performance

0:54:26.201,0:54:29.921
Through the years, by her diligence, her[br]constancy

0:54:30.720,0:54:36.420
she trully was her Serene Highness[br]Princess Grace of Monaco

0:54:37.993,0:54:41.303
I don't wake up in the morning[br]thinking I'm living a fairy tale

0:54:41.303,0:54:45.603
I have a job to get done and children to[br]raise

0:54:45.603,0:54:49.303
and a lot of responsibilities and [br]obligations

0:54:50.398,0:54:54.638
I like to think that they would [br]consider me a professional at my job

0:54:54.638,0:54:56.028
no matter what it would be

0:54:57.386,0:55:01.757
If I take on something, I like to do it[br]well, and I like to do it completely

0:55:06.152,0:55:12.342
As some people often say that Grace [br]made a great sacrifice of her career

0:55:12.775,0:55:15.025
in becoming the Princess of Monaco

0:55:15.397,0:55:17.527
I don't think she ever felt that way

0:55:17.755,0:55:18.735
Well, I say

0:55:21.152,0:55:22.182
she made a

0:55:22.977,0:55:25.737
she made as good as princess as if she[br]was a movie actress

0:55:26.092,0:55:27.382
even better

0:55:27.657,0:55:29.307
You know, in fairy tales

0:55:29.886,0:55:32.616
one has to invent the prince and [br]the princess

0:55:32.908,0:55:34.218
but here, we have them

0:55:34.860,0:55:35.910
we had them

0:55:37.039,0:55:40.839
"It was in the rugged hills along the [br]border with France that Princess Grace's

0:55:40.839,0:55:43.899
car went out of control in a curve that [br]has seen many accidents"

0:55:43.899,0:55:47.045
"According to the official version, [br]princess Grace was driving her

0:55:47.045,0:55:49.645
17 year old daughter, Stephanie[br]when the brakes failed"

0:55:50.128,0:55:54.048
"A young Monegasque woman put her [br]feelings about princess Grace this way

0:55:54.283,0:55:58.113
"She was never a problem for us, there[br]were no ?, no scandals

0:55:58.213,0:56:00.178
but she was, after all, a lady"

0:56:14.213,0:56:15.893
I think she won the hearts

0:56:16.441,0:56:18.611
and the love of the Monegasque people

0:56:19.805,0:56:24.101
because, when she died I have never[br]seen such true sorrow

0:56:33.186,0:56:36.856
(Choir sings)

0:56:46.223,0:56:48.573
For me, I just had a great sister

0:56:49.310,0:56:50.810
and had a loving sister

0:56:51.592,0:56:54.061
(Choir continues)

0:57:03.108,0:57:04.708
Before she was a Princess

0:57:05.397,0:57:06.467
she was an actress

0:57:08.161,0:57:09.231
and before that

0:57:10.142,0:57:11.822
a girl from Philadelphia

0:57:13.277,0:57:14.647
a family girl
