However, what was most entrancing about her was her compassion and generosity of spirit. She didn't pose in order to become beautiful. She simply was beautiful. The photographs in this book - unseen until now - help show why." - His Serene Highness Prince Albert II. - from the rear outer jacket. "Passionate and talented, Grace Kelly was Alfred Hitchcock's favorite acress. Her short, dazzling career, along with her incomparable allure, impressed Hollywood and teh world - at 25 she received an Oscar for Best Actress in THe Country Girl. Her last film was the acclaimed High Society. Grace had such natural elegance that the name fitted her perfectly. However, theis woman was not just one of the great beauties, but also a committed philanthropist. She fought to defend whyat was most dear to her; the cause of the most impoverished, the Red Cross and the principality of Monaco. Grace Kelly, A Life in Pictures, is the most ambitious photographic biography to date of this unique woman. Hollywood star and princess.
