PARIS Nicole Kidman-starrer Grace of Monaco will open the 67th Cannes Festival on May 14, it was announced today.
The film portrays a period in the life of American actress who became Princess Grace of Monaco when she married Prince Rainier III in 1956, in what was dubbed the marriage of the century. An Oscar winner, she was already a huge film star, having worked with the very greatest (John Ford, Alfred Hitchcock, Fred Zinnemann) Hollywood-based filmmakers, she was suddenly confronted with an offer by Hitchcock to take the lead in his new film Marnie and French government ambitions to tax or even annex Monaco.

January Jones (Betty Draper of Man Men) almost pulls off a Grace look-alike on the tv show (it’s even referenced at one point of the show). Jones has a different nose and a squarer face but, otherwise, she could pass as Grace if you didn’t look too closely.
That is the face of someone who smoked for 30 years.
LOL!
"Still she was a beautiful woman, a good actress, and the epitome of class and style on screen. Pretty good legacy."
No argument at all from me.
This is the Dior perfume ad which features Charlize Theron while she also plays Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe and Marlene Dietrich.

My stepfather tended bar at the Logan Inn in New Hope, Pennsylvania (Bucks County Playhouse) in the early fifties. She drew a lot of attention at the bar. He said she was a nice kid (He was born in 1913). She was pleasant to him and everybody he saw her with. Apparently that was not his normal experience with other actors who came to town.
Who is this?
Oh, the old Bucks County Playhouse! I saw several plays there. Yes, the great stars would come there - and I sure some of them behaved badly.
Funny, I was just reading about Washington’s crossing of the Delaware and all I was thinking about is this beautiful area of our country.
I agree, she had a charmed life, no doubt her looks helped.
Hate to burst your bubble, but she was not the most beautiful of the classic era stars. Not even close-
and besides that, she was a well know tramp.
She bedded just about all of her male co-stars.
Grace Kelly and a Vivian Leigh were two of the most beautiful ever on screen. In a classic way.
Both drop dead gorgeous. I did not say sexy, I said beautiful in the classic sense.
Not like Doris Day the Perpetual Virgin?
She acted out after her mother died. Had a rough time of it.
Eh, she’s no Grace Kelly either. Who is the fellow? He’s a tad middle-eastern looking at least in that picture.
Ian McShane
What has Doris Day got to do with any of this? LOL
Oh wow, Swearengen!
