It sounds like a medieval saint who was burned to death" 663 00:40:39,291 --> 00:40:40,281 "And you?" 664 00:40:40,850 --> 00:40:45,800 She had made this extraordinary luminous climb to the absolute top 665 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:46,980 apex of the industry 666 00:40:47,430 --> 00:40:50,241 A lot of people have this quality, and have no electricity 667 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:51,718 She combined them 668 00:40:52,088 --> 00:40:54,538 She could have called the shots from then on, I mean 669 00:40:54,538 --> 00:40:57,420 she was finally in a position not to have to argue about the 670 00:40:57,420 --> 00:41:01,296 films she wanted to do, people would have bought things for her 671 00:41:01,296 --> 00:41:04,936 they would have planned productions around her, they would have done anything 672 00:41:05,092 --> 00:41:11,043 and she fell in love, and she said: "Bye! I'm going off to be 673 00:41:11,177 --> 00:41:15,177 Mrs. in this case, the Princess of Monaco 674 00:41:15,411 --> 00:41:19,611 and, before we all knew it, she was gone 675 00:41:20,380 --> 00:41:25,160 Grace Kelly had never really enjoyed the publicity that came with stardom 676 00:41:25,747 --> 00:41:30,368 Now, she would feel the burden of true international celebrity 677 00:41:30,966 --> 00:41:35,566 I don't know how she was able to protect that small 678 00:41:35,870 --> 00:41:43,160 core that's so necessary, that keeps you sane, but she did 679 00:41:46,383 --> 00:41:52,863 She was able under the most extraordinary mirage of the press 680 00:41:53,593 --> 00:41:58,580 and personal need that people had, I mean, people just 681 00:41:59,020 --> 00:42:02,796 I don't know why they do it, but they seem to want to get inside 682 00:42:03,126 --> 00:42:08,666 particularly, the press, of a person's soul, and Grace had the extraordinary 683 00:42:08,666 --> 00:42:14,250 ability of not rising above it - separating herself from it 684 00:42:14,250 --> 00:42:20,515 It was almost a mystical kind of ability she had to be the quiet 685 00:42:20,515 --> 00:42:22,905 eye in the middle of a horrendous hurricane 686 00:42:23,175 --> 00:42:28,265 And, there she was, just firm and sure and calm 687 00:42:29,247 --> 00:42:33,247 "... exciting thing and I am very very happy, sometimes a little sad 688 00:42:33,247 --> 00:42:36,927 to be away from home, but I hope to be back quite often" 689 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:43,874 She chose as any average young woman would, her 6 best friends and her sister 690 00:42:44,490 --> 00:42:48,255 to attend her at her wedding to the Prince 691 00:42:48,987 --> 00:42:53,847 And then, Grace Kelly of Philadelphia with most of her family, and many of 692 00:42:53,847 --> 00:42:58,979 her closest friends, sailed away to become a Princess 693 00:43:04,839 --> 00:43:09,184 Prince Rainier's yacht bears his betrothed into the harbour at Monaco 694 00:43:09,184 --> 00:43:10,865 a few hours earlier, Grace Kelly... 695 00:43:10,865 --> 00:43:15,035 Once we arrived in Monaco it was, of course, all the madness that one has seen 696 00:43:15,035 --> 00:43:18,271 over the years of what went on 697 00:43:18,850 --> 00:43:22,760 They came by the thousands, to welcome and to judge 698 00:43:23,566 --> 00:43:28,070 She was rich, she was beautiful but, she was an American 699 00:43:28,370 --> 00:43:31,298 and, to some of them, just an actress 700 00:43:32,087 --> 00:43:36,577 I think Grace had tough job being a movie star from America 701 00:43:37,808 --> 00:43:43,226 moving into the life of the symbol of Southern countries 702 00:43:45,351 --> 00:43:52,008 Constant round of parties and being part of this glamorous and mythological event 703 00:43:52,758 --> 00:43:57,778 and just simply being around royalty was new to all of us 704 00:44:02,577 --> 00:44:07,727 As Grace took up a totally new role, some who did not know her watched 705 00:44:08,041 --> 00:44:10,051 and waited for her to fail 706 00:44:25,090 --> 00:44:30,500 It was like a fairy tale, all of it and that's the part that we got to 707 00:44:30,500 --> 00:44:31,679 be part of 708 00:44:34,481 --> 00:44:37,091 It was not a fairy tale 709 00:44:39,152 --> 00:44:41,519 Grace relaxed at her husband's side 710 00:44:42,829 --> 00:44:46,829 but she knew to the Monegasques she now had to prove herself worthy 711 00:44:47,070 --> 00:44:49,012 of being the wife of their ruler 712 00:44:49,369 --> 00:44:51,042 Prince Rainier III 713 00:44:59,664 --> 00:45:06,504 The last time I saw Grace was in my own imagination when she was on the yacht 714 00:45:06,942 --> 00:45:11,869 chug chug chugging away into the Mediterranean after the wedding was over 715 00:45:11,869 --> 00:45:14,779 and I realized that there was no more Grace Kelly 716 00:45:14,779 --> 00:45:17,889 Grace Kelly was a memory, Grace Kelly was history, there was only 717 00:45:17,889 --> 00:45:19,147 Princess Grace of Monaco 718 00:45:19,147 --> 00:45:21,407 Then we all went home and she stayed there 719 00:45:21,557 --> 00:45:26,661 This was a very hard challenge for her because, not only the language barrier 720 00:45:27,151 --> 00:45:32,261 but in a foreign world, foreign customs 721 00:45:33,730 --> 00:45:37,670 and the principality, the formal way of doing things 722 00:45:38,138 --> 00:45:44,042 She kept studying things that would enforce her position as Princess 723 00:45:44,376 --> 00:45:49,466 She utilised everything around her, she improvised on being a Princess 724 00:45:49,466 --> 00:45:52,676 the way a really good actress would improvise on a part 725 00:45:52,836 --> 00:45:56,762 For example, she always tried to simplify things 726 00:45:57,022 --> 00:46:02,272 Alexandre, the hairdresser in Paris, fixed for her a number of special pieces of 727 00:46:02,272 --> 00:46:03,492 hair attachments 728 00:46:03,492 --> 00:46:07,492 So, when she would travel with all these fancy aristocrats 729 00:46:08,190 --> 00:46:12,390 while they were making appointments with hairdressers, everywhere we went 730 00:46:12,550 --> 00:46:17,621 Grace was always ready with one of these hairpieces that she was making 731 00:46:17,742 --> 00:46:19,662 into some kind of a wonderful hairdo 732 00:46:19,946 --> 00:46:21,336 Never took extra time 733 00:46:21,994 --> 00:46:25,233 Since she was, fundamentally a working woman 734 00:46:27,633 --> 00:46:33,213 She did everything with a great purpose, and sense of responsibility 735 00:46:36,304 --> 00:46:39,064 On cultural or diplomatic occasions 736 00:46:40,390 --> 00:46:41,780 with Presidents 737 00:46:42,720 --> 00:46:43,700 or with Popes 738 00:46:44,530 --> 00:46:46,180 she was expected to be perfect 739 00:46:46,568 --> 00:46:47,488 in bearing, 740 00:46:47,711 --> 00:46:50,671 and often, in her newly acquired language 741 00:46:50,836 --> 00:46:56,926 (Speaking French) 742 00:46:57,081 --> 00:47:00,131 It was something that I am amazed that she 743 00:47:00,590 --> 00:47:01,350 could handle 744 00:47:01,710 --> 00:47:06,040 I wondered so many times, 'Oh, I could never do that' 745 00:47:06,620 --> 00:47:09,270 but she was determined to make the best of it 746 00:47:09,270 --> 00:47:13,681 "Can I ask you to explain what will happen in the event twins are born 747 00:47:13,801 --> 00:47:15,631 a boy second, and a girl first 748 00:47:15,730 --> 00:47:17,780 Who would be the ruling monarch?" 749 00:47:18,808 --> 00:47:22,296 "The successor would be the eldest child, even if it's a girl 750 00:47:22,537 --> 00:47:24,827 but that doesn't mean that she will rule, because 751 00:47:25,087 --> 00:47:28,347 she can always resign or abdicate in favour of her younger brother 752 00:47:28,428 --> 00:47:29,548 and he would then rule" 753 00:47:29,647 --> 00:47:30,957 "Are twins expected?" 754 00:47:31,148 --> 00:47:32,618 "Not that I know of" 755 00:47:33,198 --> 00:47:37,224 "Princess Grace, is your life how you imagined it would be before you became 756 00:47:37,224 --> 00:47:38,094 a princess?" 757 00:47:38,708 --> 00:47:45,018 "Well I became Princess before I had much time to imagine what it would be" 758 00:47:47,358 --> 00:47:52,628 With the birth of a daughter, Caroline, on January 23rd 1957 759 00:47:53,058 --> 00:47:55,998 The line of succession was secure 760 00:48:00,481 --> 00:48:03,751 Just 15 months later, a male heir, Albert 761 00:48:04,037 --> 00:48:06,652 arrived to even greater celebration 762 00:48:09,111 --> 00:48:11,891 I think the major thing came when she had the children 763 00:48:12,041 --> 00:48:14,141 and they did come very quickly 764 00:48:15,831 --> 00:48:18,841 She wanted the children, she loved them 765 00:48:18,881 --> 00:48:21,551 and we had so much fun rough-housing together 766 00:48:21,771 --> 00:48:24,521 Her children and mine are the same age 767 00:48:25,161 --> 00:48:27,881 and they've gone to camp together 768 00:48:29,301 --> 00:48:32,340 Don and I have been to Monaco several times with the children 769 00:48:32,831 --> 00:48:34,821 and they've come here to Ocean City 770 00:48:39,414 --> 00:48:40,794 Their needs were the same 771 00:48:41,536 --> 00:48:43,526 for closeness, and for family 772 00:48:44,314 --> 00:48:46,144 In addition to her own children 773 00:48:46,434 --> 00:48:48,724 Grace would always have the Kelly's 774 00:48:50,854 --> 00:48:54,724 Prince Rainier soon found himself an accepted part of that family 775 00:48:56,314 --> 00:48:57,664 Grace always adored 776 00:48:58,534 --> 00:49:01,944 children, and she almost over-adored her own children 777 00:49:02,140 --> 00:49:05,030 she was the typical loving 778 00:49:05,434 --> 00:49:08,094 sometimes too disciplining 779 00:49:08,544 --> 00:49:10,664 but always giving, mother 780 00:49:12,974 --> 00:49:15,284 Private time was essential for them both 781 00:49:16,454 --> 00:49:20,064 family life was a retreat from the formalities of state 782 00:49:21,936 --> 00:49:24,616 Grace was determined to keep her family a success 783 00:49:25,696 --> 00:49:28,036 No matter how demanding her official schedule 784 00:49:28,726 --> 00:49:30,976 there was always time for her children 785 00:49:33,837 --> 00:49:35,037 There were the trips home 786 00:49:35,446 --> 00:49:37,216 often with Prince Rainier 787 00:49:39,636 --> 00:49:41,926 There was the anniversary for Margaret Kelly 788 00:49:42,656 --> 00:49:44,636 and her growing brood of grandchildren 789 00:49:51,326 --> 00:49:53,866 For Prince Rainier, cruises on his yacht 790 00:49:53,996 --> 00:49:56,516 meant he could indulge his passion for fishing 791 00:50:02,910 --> 00:50:06,360 Then, there was the time set aside for enjoying the palace pool 792 00:50:06,580 --> 00:50:08,280 with children and friends 793 00:50:09,810 --> 00:50:11,870 I think she held on to her old friends 794 00:50:12,130 --> 00:50:14,180 in those beginning years because 795 00:50:14,590 --> 00:50:16,380 they were her reality as Grace Kelly 796 00:50:16,500 --> 00:50:18,570 and she didn't want to lose Grace Kelly 797 00:50:20,010 --> 00:50:24,130 There was never any loss of the sense that she was Gracie from Philadelphia 798 00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:25,940 She was 799 00:50:26,590 --> 00:50:28,250 a girl with an American soul 800 00:50:30,700 --> 00:50:34,750 and heart, and she brought that to Monaco with her, and she never 801 00:50:35,220 --> 00:50:37,380 she never chipped away at that at all 802 00:50:41,134 --> 00:50:45,804 In the back of Grace's mind was always the possibility of going back to being 803 00:50:45,804 --> 00:50:46,824 a film star 804 00:50:46,824 --> 00:50:49,254 I think she kept it there for those rainy nights 805 00:50:49,845 --> 00:50:52,846 I would occasionally read a script 806 00:50:53,629 --> 00:50:55,370 that would intrigue me 807 00:50:55,846 --> 00:50:57,556 I'd call her and send it on 808 00:50:57,804 --> 00:51:01,834 The opportunity arose to do 'Marnie' I think she leapt at it 809 00:51:02,207 --> 00:51:05,477 I couldn't understand why she would want to do it, and why Hitchcock 810 00:51:05,477 --> 00:51:06,437 would want to do it 811 00:51:06,437 --> 00:51:10,157 The Monegasques were absolutely, completely undone because 812 00:51:10,157 --> 00:51:12,062 they thought that she had abandoned them 813 00:51:12,062 --> 00:51:16,052 I think, that the thing that convinced her that she couldn't do it was that she was 814 00:51:16,052 --> 00:51:17,312 the Princess of the Church 815 00:51:18,090 --> 00:51:19,911 once she believed that 816 00:51:20,611 --> 00:51:24,611 dignity of being the Princess of the capital Church was more important than 817 00:51:25,075 --> 00:51:26,435 being an actress 818 00:51:26,576 --> 00:51:29,226 she accepted it, but I think it took a long time 819 00:51:31,810 --> 00:51:35,258 In 1965, seven years after the birth of Albert, 820 00:51:35,876 --> 00:51:37,066 Stephanie was born 821 00:51:38,001 --> 00:51:40,673 Once Grace's life as a performing artist 822 00:51:43,185 --> 00:51:46,525 seemed to come to a close as she became Princess of Monaco 823 00:51:48,218 --> 00:51:53,098 She didn't discard her feelings for the arts, any part of them 824 00:51:53,419 --> 00:51:57,089 I got a letter from Grace saying that she was going around doing poetry 825 00:51:57,089 --> 00:51:58,489 readings for 826 00:51:59,250 --> 00:52:01,572 a theatre in London that was being built 827 00:52:01,572 --> 00:52:03,624 So, basically, Grace was an artist 828 00:52:03,909 --> 00:52:05,921 and she did it through poetry 829 00:52:06,130 --> 00:52:09,844 she wanted very much to have Monaco be a cultural centre 830 00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:13,380 Grace established a foundation to further her goals 831 00:52:14,195 --> 00:52:17,455 The Monegasques had been without a playhouse for many years 832 00:52:18,285 --> 00:52:19,795 a new one was built 833 00:52:20,412 --> 00:52:23,972 Today, this theatre draws drama companies from around the world 834 00:52:27,661 --> 00:52:31,311 Once, the famous Ballet Russe of Montecarlo danced here 835 00:52:32,372 --> 00:52:35,512 Grace was determined to bring those great days back 836 00:52:39,554 --> 00:52:41,854 A ballet company must have a school 837 00:52:42,908 --> 00:52:45,908 Through the Princess Grace foundation a small school 838 00:52:45,908 --> 00:52:48,336 run by one of ballet's foremost teachers 839 00:52:48,868 --> 00:52:52,188 has been transformed into a world-class academy 840 00:52:54,621 --> 00:52:57,911 Both Caroline and Stephanie had studied here as small children 841 00:53:00,208 --> 00:53:02,898 Grace was frequently more of an onlooker 842 00:53:04,377 --> 00:53:06,967 I remember a particular 843 00:53:08,612 --> 00:53:13,022 general rehearsal when she asked me "Do you think I could make them up?" 844 00:53:14,364 --> 00:53:17,854 And all the little children gathered around her 845 00:53:18,419 --> 00:53:21,409 all the faces stood towards the Princess 846 00:53:21,864 --> 00:53:24,734 and she was putting a little bit of rouge on the 847 00:53:25,761 --> 00:53:28,381 cheeks, and a little bit of lipstick on the lips 848 00:53:29,654 --> 00:53:33,654 It was a love of children and of ballet that led to one of Grace's 849 00:53:33,654 --> 00:53:35,064 few returns to film 850 00:53:35,943 --> 00:53:41,087 The 1979, Earle Mack documentary 'The Children of Theatre Street' 851 00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:43,644 about young dancers in Leningrad 852 00:53:45,486 --> 00:53:46,716 They are the protagonists 853 00:53:47,564 --> 00:53:50,124 but as their predecessors have demonstrated 854 00:53:50,822 --> 00:53:54,592 perhaps the greater protagonist is the school they go to 855 00:53:55,257 --> 00:53:59,257 "Angelina has practised these movements hundreds and hundreds of times" 856 00:54:00,249 --> 00:54:03,889 In the next 6 years, she will repeat them thousands of times" 857 00:54:08,105 --> 00:54:11,015 What makes it worth it is this" 858 00:54:15,047 --> 00:54:17,637 Grace knew the demands of great performance 859 00:54:20,050 --> 00:54:24,527 but for the Monegasques, Grace herself had gone beyond performance 860 00:54:26,201 --> 00:54:29,921 Through the years, by her diligence, her constancy 861 00:54:30,720 --> 00:54:36,420 she trully was her Serene Highness Princess Grace of Monaco 862 00:54:37,993 --> 00:54:41,303 I don't wake up in the morning thinking I'm living a fairy tale 863 00:54:41,303 --> 00:54:45,603 I have a job to get done and children to raise 864 00:54:45,603 --> 00:54:49,303 and a lot of responsibilities and obligations 865 00:54:50,398 --> 00:54:54,638 I like to think that they would consider me a professional at my job 866 00:54:54,638 --> 00:54:56,028 no matter what it would be 867 00:54:57,386 --> 00:55:01,757 If I take on something, I like to do it well, and I like to do it completely 868 00:55:06,152 --> 00:55:12,342 As some people often say that Grace made a great sacrifice of her career 869 00:55:12,775 --> 00:55:15,025 in becoming the Princess of Monaco 870 00:55:15,397 --> 00:55:17,527 I don't think she ever felt that way 871 00:55:17,755 --> 00:55:18,735 Well, I say 872 00:55:21,152 --> 00:55:22,182 she made a 873 00:55:22,977 --> 00:55:25,737 she made as good as princess as if she was a movie actress 874 00:55:26,092 --> 00:55:27,382 even better 875 00:55:27,657 --> 00:55:29,307 You know, in fairy tales 876 00:55:29,886 --> 00:55:32,616 one has to invent the prince and the princess 877 00:55:32,908 --> 00:55:34,218 but here, we have them 878 00:55:34,860 --> 00:55:35,910 we had them 879 00:55:37,039 --> 00:55:40,839 "It was in the rugged hills along the border with France that Princess Grace's 880 00:55:40,839 --> 00:55:43,899 car went out of control in a curve that has seen many accidents" 881 00:55:43,899 --> 00:55:47,045 "According to the official version, princess Grace was driving her 882 00:55:47,045 --> 00:55:49,645 17 year old daughter, Stephanie when the brakes failed" 883 00:55:50,128 --> 00:55:54,048 "A young Monegasque woman put her feelings about princess Grace this way 884 00:55:54,283 --> 00:55:58,113 "She was never a problem for us, there were no ?, no scandals 885 00:55:58,213 --> 00:56:00,178 but she was, after all, a lady" 886 00:56:14,213 --> 00:56:15,893 I think she won the hearts 887 00:56:16,441 --> 00:56:18,611 and the love of the Monegasque people 888 00:56:19,805 --> 00:56:24,101 because, when she died I have never seen such true sorrow 889 00:56:33,186 --> 00:56:36,856 (Choir sings) 890 00:56:46,223 --> 00:56:48,573 For me, I just had a great sister 891 00:56:49,310 --> 00:56:50,810 and had a loving sister 892 00:56:51,592 --> 00:56:54,061 (Choir continues) 893 00:57:03,108 --> 00:57:04,708 Before she was a Princess 894 00:57:05,397 --> 00:57:06,467 she was an actress 895 00:57:08,161 --> 00:57:09,231 and before that 896 00:57:10,142 --> 00:57:11,822 a girl from Philadelphia 897 00:57:13,277 --> 00:57:14,647 a family girl
