The comedy musical High Society, in which she costarred with Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra, and the three Alfred Hitchcock films Dial M for Murder, Rear Window, and To Catch a Thief with Cary Grant were among the 11 films she appeared in over the period of just five years
Yet, the popular actress left the spotlight at just 26 years old in order to wed Prince Rainier III and become Princess of Monaco.
This well-liked actress made 11 lucrative films in just 6 years, took home two Golden Globes, an Academy Award, and wed a prince.
She was unable to continue acting once she wed such a prominent member of the royal family. She instead had three children, Caroline, Princess of Hanover, Albert II, Prince of Monaco, and Princess Stéphanie, and concentrated on her charitable activities.
Tragically, Grace Kelly lost control of her car after having a stroke and was killed in a collision.
