Grace Kelly

Grace Kelly (1929-1982) was a Philadelphian film actress who became the Princess of Monaco. In her early life, Kelly took an interest in acting and so moved to New York City to attend the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. As her career progressed, Kelly acted in theater productions, television shows, and ultimately gained stardom on the silver screen. She was awarded the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in The Country Girl (1954).

While operating as a U.S. delegate to the Cannes Film Festival, Kelly came to meet the prince of Monaco. After their eventual wedding, Kelly thusly became the Princess of Monaco. In this role, Kelly adopted a life of philanthropy. Kelly founded and was involved in numerous non-profits dedicated to advancing the arts and the wellbeing of citizens of Monaco and the world alike.
