Inhaltsangabe

Grace Kelly's story is the quintessential America saga - the story of a radiantly beautiful girl born of immigrants - the daughter of a self-made millionaire - who grew up to become the wife of a Prince of royal blood, the mother of two princesses, and a son who is the ruler of the glittering yet sinister principality that is Monaco. Beautiful, elegant and mysterious, Grace Kelly captivated the world for decades. But as Wendy Leigh records, her life - while sometimes magical - had more than its share of loss and unhappiness. Leigh recounts an era when a pretty girl could dream of becoming a movie star almost overnight and go on to be an honest-to-God Princess; she also records the dark side of Grace Kelly's life. From her premonition of her death in a car crash to her never-before-revealed affair with David Niven, Wendy Leigh approaches Grace Kelly's life with compassion and care, especially in light of Grace's human flaws.

Aus dem Klappentext

Her Serene Highness, Princess Grace of Monaco, the legendary Hollywood screen siren, Grace Kelly is an American icon whose beauty is unrivalled, and whose oft-imitated aristocratic style and cool elegance has never been eclipsed.

Wendy Leigh- after three years research has gained unprecedented access to over one hundred sources who have never talked about Grace before, including nine of her until now undisclosed romances - among them an English aristocrat, an American tennis player, and a Hollywood legend and also including her priest friend, Father Peter Jacobs, and Bernard Combemal, the former head of the S.B.M, the consortium that runs Monaco.
Wendy Leigh provides revealing new details about Grace s life, including her premarital romantic swan song which took place during her voyage to Monaco, the hitherto untold story of her troubling relationship with bridesmaid, Carolyn Reybold and the moving story of Grace s lifelong relationship with actor, David Niven.
Wendy Leigh paints a compelling portrait of Grace, the ambitious young actress, Grace, the dutiful princess who transformed the principality of Monaco into a jet-set haven, Grace, the kind-hearted philanthropist, Grace, the loving mother, and Grace, the patriotic American.
Wendy Leigh s book has not been written for those readers who wish to view Grace as a saint, but for those who like Leigh herself believes that she was a strong and wonderful woman.
