The Life of a Princess: Grace KellyEven before Grace Kelly married a prince, she had the characteristics of a princess. Frank Sinatra once commented: “Grace was a princess from birth. » She had a remarkable elegance and sophistication that set her apart from other Hollywood actresses. Some say she had a bit of fire under her spell. Alfred Hitchcock, who directed her in three films, called her a "snowy volcano." Grace was born into a family of fame and success. His father was a wealthy bricklayer, his brother was a champion sculler, and his uncle, George Kelly, was a famous playwright. They set a difficult example to follow, and Grace sometimes felt pressured by her family's reputation for prosperity. She lived up to and even surpassed the fame of her family members. Grace has played many roles in her life as an actress, princess, and mother. Grace has had a rather interesting past. In Grace's early years, she went to the Catholic Ravenhill Academy in East Falls, Pennsylvania and unfortunately changed to the Stevens School, a society academy. She was very quiet and "to herself" as a teenager, but also very popular with other people her age at school. After graduating in 1949, Grace dreamed of performing on stage, not acting in films or making television appearances. In New York and Colorado, Grace worked in theater and starred in "The Father" with Raymond Massey before signing with agent Edith Van Cleve. Some theater experts, including actress Helen Hayes, believed that Grace was unsuitable to perform on stage due to her low voice. Despite this, Grace Kelly was determined to succeed and go further in her career ("American Decades" 1). Kelly's family did not agree with her becoming an actress. Although her family was against her becoming an actress, Kelly became a model and appeared in her first film, Fourteen Hours, in 1951, when she was 22. The following year, she starred in High Noon. His next film, Mogambo, in 1953, was a drama set in the Kenyan jungle and centered on the love triangle portrayed by Kelly, Clark Gable and Ava Gardner. While filming this film, she had an affair with Gable. Later, commenting "what else is there to do if you're alone in a tent in Africa with Clark Gable?" The film earned Kelly an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress, but the award went to Donna Reed for her role in From Here to Eternity..
