Under the sign of Scorpio, Grace
Patricia Kelly was born on November 12, 1929 to John
Jack Kelly and Margaret Majer Kelly, well-to-do and
prominent society figures in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her father
was a well-known sports figure - he was a gold-medal winning Olympic
rower - and self-made businessman of Irish descent. Her mother,
a former athlete and model, was of German origin. Grace was their
third child, a sibling to sister Peggy, brother John and sister
Lizanne.
Her glamorous and charmed life has been well documented. In the
following pages, we offer brief illustrations: from Her days as
a Hollywood Actress
to Style Icon, Her courtship,
engagement and becoming Princess
of Monaco and Wife
and Mother, we turn the spotlight on two of Her
Passions and take a look back at the significant contributions
She made as a Humanitarian
and finally Her considerable Legacy.
Princess Grace passed away on September 14, 1982 following a tragic
car accident in Monaco. She was just 52 years old.
