Product Type: DVD

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
The elegance of Grace Kelly--who defined the blonde beauty and cool, slightly aloof sexiness of the classic Alfred Hitchcock heroine--is given glowing adoration in Grace Kelly: American Princess. This concise documentary uses a mix of family photos, fashion and advertising shots, clips from her 11 Hollywood films, and interviews with friends, producers, and her former agent to chart Kelly's rise to movie stardom and her transformation into the Princess of Monaco. The media frenzy around her wedding easily equaled any contemporary celebrity spectacle; when she and Prince Rainier were married, tourism in Monaco doubled. Through it all, Kelly maintained her sense of dignity, kindness, and intelligence. Grace Kelly: American Princess doesn't present any surprises, and while Kelly's life had its setbacks, they were relatively few and minor--but her beauty and charisma make this documentary eminently watchable. --Bret Fetzer

Born to a wealthy and competitive Philadelphia family, Grace Kelly was a lovely and talented woman who went from model, to stage and television actress, to movie star, to becoming the Princess of Monaco.

SUPER MOVIE COLLECTION.......2007-06-28

EXCELLENT MOVIE THAT POTRAYED THE PRINCESS FROM HER CHILDHOOD TO STARDOM AND BECOMING THE AMERICAN PRINCESS OF MONACO THAT MAKES HER COUNTRY, AMERICA PROUD OF HER!

GRACE KELLY IS A REAL FINE LADY. ALTHOUGH AMERICAN BORN, AND LOVED TO BE AN ACTRESS, SHE DENIED THE OFFER OF ALFRED HITCHCOCK TO BE A STAR IN ONE OF HIS MOVIES. THE REASON WAS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE OF MONACO WHO HAD LOVED HER AS THEIR OWN PRINCESS WERE NOT HAPPY OF HER GOING BACK AS AN ACTRESS AGAIN. ALTHOUGH PRINCE RANIER PERMITTED PRINCESS GRACE TO ACCEPT ALFRED HITCHCOCK'S OFFER TO BE THE STAR IN HIS MOVIE, PRINCESS KELLY DENIED THE OFFER BECAUSE HER LOYALTY TO THE PEOPLE IN MONACO.

I ALSO BOUGHT SEVERAL MOVIES OF GRACE KELLY TO BE ONE OF MY CLASSIC COLLECTIONS. I PURCHASED AS WELL GRACE KELLY MOVIES: MOGAMBO, TO CATCH A THIEF, COUNTRY GIRL, HIGH SOCIETY, AND DIAL "M" FOR MURDER. GRACE KELLY IS A GREAT AND PROFESSIONAL ACTRESS! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE MOVIES!

Grace Kelly .... the Blonde European Jackie O.......2006-07-05

Grace Kelly was the prized debutant of Philadelphia as Jackie Bouvier was to New York Society. A cool, crisp, classy and collected blonde counterpart to Jackie's raven mystique ... Grace Kelly exuded the same athletic and sophisticated image that took her to Hollywood and later Monaco. If Jackie was America's Queen ... Grace was a true Princess even if she had to leave the US to wear a crown.

GRACE KELLY, AMERICAN PRINCESS.......2005-09-26

I enjoyed this biography on Princess Grace very much. It did show some private scenes of the Princess that I had never seen before.

Grace Kelly, American Princess

ASIN: B000RETP0K
Release Date: 2007-06-05

Product Description

She came from a wealthy and competitive Philadelphia family, but the life of well-brought up society held little appeal for this acclaimed beauty. She left for New York City and worked hard as a model, stage actor and TV player. Then she was discovered by Hollywood. In less than four years she was acknowledged as one of movie's most sought after stars, an Academy-Award winner, playing opposite some of the greatest leading men of her time. Suddenly, like a modern-day fairy tale, Grace Kelly turned her back on it all -- to become Her Serene Highness Princess Grace of Monaco. Now her story is told in home movies and clips from films like High Noon, Dial M For Murder, Rear Window, To Catch A Thief, and High Society. Also seen, touching and revealing glimpses from the magnificent wedding to the tragic end. Actors Jimmy Stewart, Louis Jourdan, Alec Guinness, Katy Jurado, with directors, producers, friends and Grace's sister, Lizanne, tell of the beautiful star who made the world her stage. Narrated by Richard Kiley.
