The epitome of class and beauty
Grace Kelly was one of the most sought-after actresses of her time. She began appearing at age 20 in New York City theater productions before embarking on a vibrant television career during the Golden Age of Television. Actresses of that era exuded poise and elegance—and Grace Kelly was arguably the most stunning of them all.
The Philadelphia-born star also appeared in numerous films between 1952 and 1956. She starred in the adventure romance Mogambo opposite Clark Gable and Ava Gardner, winning a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress.

A year later, she starred in "The Country Girl" with Bing Crosby, winning an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Among the 11 films she appeared in over the course of just five years, notable were the comedy-musical "High Society," starring Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra, as well as three Alfred Hitchcock classics: "Dial Dial," "Rear Window," and "To Catch a Thief," starring Cary Grant.

At just 26 years old, Grace Kelly retired from Hollywood to marry Prince Rainier III and become Princess of Monaco.
In her short but illustrious career, she appeared in 11 films, won two Golden Globe Awards and an Oscar, and married a prince. Her new royal duties required her to step away from acting and devote herself to charitable and cultural activities. Grace Kelly also had three children: Caroline, Princess of Hanover; Albert II, Prince of Monaco; and Princess Stéphanie.
Grace Kelly tragically
died in a car accident after suffering a stroke while driving. On September 13, 1982, she lost control of her 10-year-old Rover 3500, which plunged 36 meters down a winding mountain road near Monte Carlo. Her daughter Stéphanie, then 17, who was in the passenger seat, tried unsuccessfully to regain control of the vehicle. She survived, but Princess Grace died from her injuries the following day, on September 14, 1982. Life support was removed after Grace's brain stopped functioning, and her heart and breathing stopped about 15 minutes later. She was only 52 years old.

Grace Kelly's three children have 11 grandchildren who inherited their grandmother's elegance and style.
One of her youngest, Camille Gottlieb, is 27 years old and the daughter of Grace Kelly, Princess Stéphanie of Monaco, and Jean-Raymond Gottlieb. Camille has two older half-siblings, including a half-sister, Pauline Ducruet, who also bears a striking resemblance to her grandmother. Camille inherited Grace Kelly's blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, and her connection to her is unmistakable when she wears red lipstick.
She has no claim to the throne of Monaco because her parents were unmarried at the time of her birth. Her father's identity was initially kept a secret, according to Town & Country magazine. Camille's Instagram, followed by nearly 115,000 fans, is filled with photos showcasing her undeniable resemblance to her legendary grandmother.
