Grace Kelly appeared in just 11 movies from 1951 to 1956—one of the shortest film careers in Hollywood history! But in those six years, she won the Academy Award for Best Actress, picked up a Golden Globe, and was nominated for several other prestigious accolades. But the best was yet to come. She retired from acting at age 26 to marry Prince Rainier and became Princess Grace of Monaco. Indeed, hers is a story of film star fame, fairy-tale romance, royal ascent, and tearful tragedy: she would die from injuries sustained in a road traffic accident 40 years ago, on September 14, 1982, at just 52 years of age.
Browse the following gallery to look back on one of the greatest female stars of classical Hollywood cinema.
