The Tragic Life and Death of Hollywood’s Princess, Grace Kelly

Grace easily secured roles on television, yet she held a firm belief that theater was superior. At the age of 22, in 1951, she ventured to Denver for a summer stock performance, an experience that inadvertently opened the door to Hollywood. Her initial significant opportunity came with High Noon, a Western where she starred alongside the famously charismatic Gary Cooper.

The allure of her on-screen love interest proved irresistible to Grace. In the privacy of their interactions, her passions were unleashed, setting off the first in a sequence of fervent and controversial affairs that would come to mar her personal life.
