WEBVTT

00:00:10.969 --> 00:00:12.849
She was born in a prospers

00:00:12.849 --> 00:00:14.329
Philadelphia family.

00:00:14.986 --> 00:00:17.096
Though she was a shy child,

00:00:17.096 --> 00:00:19.156
she will live her life in the public eye.

00:00:19.730 --> 00:00:21.320
"Don't try to be a hero!

00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:23.590
You don't have to be a hero,
not for me!"

00:00:23.590 --> 00:00:25.135
"I'm not trying to be a hero..."

00:00:25.135 --> 00:00:27.210
At the age of 23, her beauty and talent

00:00:27.210 --> 00:00:28.530
took her to Hollywood.

00:00:32.889 --> 00:00:36.364
She made eleven films in
three and a half years

00:00:36.364 --> 00:00:39.614
and became one of the most
sought-after stars of her time.

00:00:42.152 --> 00:00:44.860
She worked with Hollywood's
most important directors,

00:00:46.809 --> 00:00:49.039
played opposite its top leading men.

00:00:56.703 --> 00:00:58.533
"There's nothing quite so mysterious

00:00:58.533 --> 00:01:00.733
and silent as a dark theater..."

00:01:00.733 --> 00:01:05.373
Then, at 26, she turned her back
on make-believe.

00:01:07.859 --> 00:01:09.999
But make-believe came true,

00:01:09.999 --> 00:01:12.989
in a fairy tale shared
by the entire world.

00:01:14.006 --> 00:01:15.776
Her name was Grace Kelly.

00:01:16.854 --> 00:01:21.404
It became Her Serene Highness,
Princess Grace of Monaco.

00:01:33.632 --> 00:01:35.722
I don't think Grace really believed that

00:01:35.722 --> 00:01:37.628
she was going to give up acting when

00:01:37.628 --> 00:01:39.438
she became Princess Grace from Monaco

00:01:39.633 --> 00:01:43.633
I think that the reallity of that probably

00:01:43.633 --> 00:01:46.103
struck her some place in the middle of

00:01:46.103 --> 00:01:48.883
the Mediterranean after the honeymoon again

00:01:48.977 --> 00:01:52.977
She took everything so much in her stride

00:01:52.977 --> 00:01:58.248
nothing seemed to be too much for her

00:01:59.182 --> 00:02:01.992
Of any name, Grace, could not have been

00:02:01.992 --> 00:02:03.402
more fitting

00:02:03.402 --> 00:02:08.175
and even her death, her tragic early death

00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:13.759
made her enter even more into legend

00:02:18.382 --> 00:02:21.902
Monaco, a principality of less than

00:02:21.902 --> 00:02:25.022
five hundred acres on the French Riviera

00:02:25.872 --> 00:02:29.282
For centuries, the monarchs had held on

00:02:29.282 --> 00:02:33.282
to their distinctive character, 
and their pride

00:02:34.075 --> 00:02:35.807
But, to this world, this place was known

00:02:35.807 --> 00:02:37.657
as a "playground for the wealthy"

00:02:37.657 --> 00:02:41.657
and came to enjoy its beauty 
and its gambling

00:02:42.202 --> 00:02:44.822
Monaco became a home of young 
American actress

00:02:44.822 --> 00:02:47.778
who arrieved in 1956 to be its Princess

00:02:49.197 --> 00:02:51.265
She brought it fame, her cool beauty

00:02:51.265 --> 00:02:56.005
her intelligence, and she brought war
a sense of purpose

00:02:56.362 --> 00:03:00.362
Well, this story about the Princess 
was firmly anchored in reality

00:03:02.205 --> 00:03:04.315
Reality had its origins

00:03:04.315 --> 00:03:06.605
back in Philadelphia

00:03:07.291 --> 00:03:10.101
Competition came easily to the Kelly's

00:03:10.101 --> 00:03:11.671
here along Kelly Drive

00:03:11.671 --> 00:03:14.681
named after Grace's father, John B. Kelly

00:03:14.681 --> 00:03:16.821
they still race in the sport for which

00:03:16.821 --> 00:03:19.641
Jack Kelly won an Olympic medal

00:03:22.096 --> 00:03:24.916
A statue elected by the citizens 
of Philadelphia

00:03:24.916 --> 00:03:27.216
commemorates that achievement

00:03:31.239 --> 00:03:34.599
Jack Kelly's father was a bricklayer from
Ireland

00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.269
who went on to make a fortune

00:03:37.269 --> 00:03:40.319
young Jack soon joined 
the family business:

00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.081
construction and brick making

00:03:44.038 --> 00:03:45.968
He started his own business

00:03:45.968 --> 00:03:47.968
and made his own fortune

00:03:48.388 --> 00:03:50.418
But he always professed pride in

00:03:50.418 --> 00:03:53.128
his family's humble origins

00:03:54.696 --> 00:03:56.516
Jack Kelly belived that the world

00:03:56.516 --> 00:03:58.196
was what you made of it

00:03:59.518 --> 00:04:01.748
Margaret Majer, who married Jack, had been

00:04:01.748 --> 00:04:04.408
a model as well as a champion 
swimmer athlete

00:04:06.047 --> 00:04:07.737
Margaret and Jack were determined

00:04:07.737 --> 00:04:10.687
to raise their children in their own way

00:04:16.428 --> 00:04:20.428
If you are good enough, you're sure 
to reach the top

00:04:20.454 --> 00:04:24.454
It was drilled into Kelly children 
from their earliest years

00:04:31.263 --> 00:04:35.063
As a family, we were always very close

00:04:35.063 --> 00:04:38.446
four of us, Peggy, my sister, the oldest

00:04:38.446 --> 00:04:41.676
our brother Jack, Grace and then myself

00:04:41.676 --> 00:04:44.359
She was the baby for three and 
a half years

00:04:44.359 --> 00:04:46.292
and loved every minute of it

00:04:46.292 --> 00:04:48.702
Grace, when she was young, she 
was very shy

00:04:48.702 --> 00:04:50.422
and a mama's baby

00:04:50.940 --> 00:04:53.590
There were many times were we had 
pictures taken

00:04:53.590 --> 00:04:55.293
that our mother had to lean back

00:04:55.293 --> 00:04:58.233
away from the camera so Grace
would not cry

00:04:58.233 --> 00:05:00.113
and taken away from her mother

00:05:00.278 --> 00:05:03.918
she was very sweet and soft, and
loved to held

00:05:03.918 --> 00:05:06.488
and cuddled and kissed, and loved

00:05:07.598 --> 00:05:09.358
I, on the other hand, and I think my

00:05:09.358 --> 00:05:11.938
brother and older sister, were more

00:05:11.938 --> 00:05:14.026
"don't let me" "don't get around me"

00:05:14.026 --> 00:05:15.496
we wanted to do our own things

00:05:16.127 --> 00:05:20.127
we always had a place at the shore,
when we were young

00:05:20.505 --> 00:05:23.955
and, at that time, I think we had our best
times together

00:05:24.273 --> 00:05:25.897
we just had a marvelous time

00:05:25.897 --> 00:05:30.237
and Grace, all her life, loved 
being by the ocean and the sea

00:05:32.434 --> 00:05:36.118
Grace and all the family were 
a competitive family

NOTE Paragraph

00:05:37.288 --> 00:05:40.758
I htink we got that, I know we got that
from our mother and our father

00:05:40.894 --> 00:05:46.004
They stilled into us a deep sense 
of competition

00:05:46.004 --> 00:05:49.864
and the love of sports

00:05:50.433 --> 00:05:56.533
the will of winning, but also taught us 
how to lose gracefully

00:05:57.810 --> 00:06:01.810
But the Kelly's didn't intend to lose 
and there never was a better

00:06:01.810 --> 00:06:04.740
drillness during the Jack Kelly

00:06:04.740 --> 00:06:10.800
It was fun, family fun, and it left a 
special kind of determinaiton

00:06:14.022 --> 00:06:19.727
This determination didn't matter Grace
as much in the sporting field

00:06:20.083 --> 00:06:24.083
But her determination sooner took 
another turn

00:06:24.179 --> 00:06:31.439
She loved sit by the hours and pretend
and create situations and say

00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:33.906
"Lizzie, you do this, and I'll be this"

00:06:33.906 --> 00:06:36.435
and "I'll be the mother and you'll be 
the baby"

00:06:36.435 --> 00:06:39.545
of course, I gave her a hard time
a lot of times because I did not

00:06:39.545 --> 00:06:41.015
want to play her games

00:06:41.888 --> 00:06:45.888
For Grace, growing up wealthy meant
winter sports in Lake Placid

00:06:49.010 --> 00:06:51.760
It also meant, the best private schools

00:06:55.637 --> 00:06:59.237
working for causes they believed in
started young

00:06:59.237 --> 00:07:03.237
with modeling it's society fasion benefits

00:07:03.740 --> 00:07:07.740
But for Grace, this shows meant more 
than fundraising

00:07:07.751 --> 00:07:09.651
It was theatre

00:07:10.423 --> 00:07:14.423
She got most of her love from the 
theatre my uncle George

00:07:14.793 --> 00:07:18.043
He was a play writer and he directed plays

00:07:18.127 --> 00:07:23.669
Very gracious, highly educated person
well-read, and very witty

00:07:24.097 --> 00:07:29.467
and she just was fascinated with 
all the tails of the stage and the theatre

00:07:29.795 --> 00:07:33.795
Her uncle George, tell her she was a 
great example to him

00:07:34.756 --> 00:07:41.445
He was sensitive and kind, and talented
I think of all the men she ever knew

00:07:41.445 --> 00:07:44.470
rather than going for the 
"athletic macho type"

00:07:44.470 --> 00:07:48.470
I think her ideal man was her uncle George

00:07:48.649 --> 00:07:56.181
My recollections of father and John B. 
an Jack Kelly were an enourmous man with

00:07:56.181 --> 00:07:59.181
a tremendous amount of gust, 
everything up-front

00:07:59.181 --> 00:08:01.941
everything in the open, moved ahead

00:08:01.941 --> 00:08:06.902
A nice man, but not a tremendous
amount of internal sensitivity

00:08:07.540 --> 00:08:13.476
Her father believed absolutely the pea
that our elder sister was going to be

00:08:13.476 --> 00:08:17.315
like the big star of the family and succed

00:08:17.414 --> 00:08:21.775
and he never payed her the attention 
to the family and his 4 children

00:08:22.542 --> 00:08:27.922
and she was quiet, observant of the 
others and adored her older brother

00:08:29.310 --> 00:08:35.407
John B. Kelly Jr., an also athletic star, 
great racer

00:08:35.407 --> 00:08:37.227
her father thought he was great

00:08:37.227 --> 00:08:41.726
but Gracie just accepted, and I don't
think he understood her at all

00:08:42.623 --> 00:08:44.053
but she adored him

00:08:44.191 --> 00:08:49.851
and yet, one worders, when you don't
get from a parent, what it is

00:08:49.851 --> 00:08:53.851
perhaps what you need, if that isn't what 
creates a great deal of the driving in

00:08:53.851 --> 00:08:57.851
you to go out and become the fullest 
part of yourself

00:08:58.225 --> 00:09:07.197
She decided to go to New York, and my
mother and father escpecially surprised

00:09:07.197 --> 00:09:11.197
because she was a shy and retiring girl

00:09:11.580 --> 00:09:16.010
My mother and father were a little scary
of New York and on her own

00:09:16.010 --> 00:09:23.185
but mother said "Jack, it is not as if she
is going to Hollywood or to California"

00:09:23.580 --> 00:09:28.574
Grace knew that her father didn't think
much of an acting career

00:09:28.676 --> 00:09:31.156
They allowed her to go, to get it out
of her system

00:09:31.156 --> 00:09:33.097
"Let her go, it won't be anything"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
