20th century fashion icon
If you want to refer to the fashion of the 50s, it is good to refer to the fashions of Grace Kelly. Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe, the stars who were active at the time, are also not bad, but Audrey Hepburn is more famous for fashion in the 60s than in the 50s. It is a dress that reveals a body that is difficult to do. Kelly has properly digested everything from classic slacks to elegant lady-like looks, so it's easy to reference.
Actor life
She started her career as a model, acting on Broadway and on television before finally getting a minor role in the Hollywood thriller 14 Hours. However, she failed to catch the eye of audiences and critics, and she continued to work on the stage and on television.
He then starred in Mogambo in 1953 with Clark Gable and Eva Gardner. She was originally expected to play Jean Tierney, her role played by Kelly, but when Tierney suffered from depression, she was replaced by Kelly. Kelly was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for this film, and she won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress.
The success of Mogambo not only earned Kelly the honor of a Golden Globe, but also gave him the good fortune in the eyes of the world-famous master Alfred Hitchcock. Hitchcock took Kelly to produce "Turn the Dial M" and "Lee Chang", and Kelly, who had an innocent and innocent image before, gained an elegant and cold image through Hitchcock's films. In 1954, she was honored with an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in the film Applause.
Grace Kelly, who rose to stardom and reached her heyday, spread many scandals. Hitchcock gave it the nickname "Snowy Volcano". The scandals include Iran's King Pahlavi II, Gary Cooper, Clark Gable, Ray Milland, Bing Crosby, and William Holden. It is estimated that more The most lethal of these was the scandal with Ray Millland, who played the opposite role in Turn Dial M. At that time, Milland was a married man 22 years older than Kelly, and his wife tried to step on Kelly with all her connections. The scandal nearly hit Kelly's acting career.
It is speculation, but there is a saying that the reason Kelly often had scandals with married actors who were a long time older was because of the Electra complex. Because she was not loved by her father, she wanted to be loved by men who were her father's. In fact, she said Kelly was the least noticed by her parents. The story behind her decision to marry Rainier III was that she would be recognized by her father if her own marriage allowed her parental family to join the upper classes until she later ended her acting career. there is In fact, according to Grace's biographer, "Grace's mother said that there were only about 50 men who brought her daughter to marry her." It is also known that her father cheated on her like a meal and publicly ridiculed her daughter who dreams of becoming an actress, and her mother is known to have done physical assault on her children without hesitation, which would be considered child abuse in today's terms. have. Kelly's father favored her eldest daughter, Peggy, to the point of notice. But ironically, Peggy seems to be the most socially and personally unsuccessful of her Kelly and four of her children. The truth is, John Kelly Jr. was an Olympic bronze medalist, her daughter, whom her family considered the least successful, became a Hollywood star and even a princess in a country, and her youngest daughter married early. However, Peggy was married twice, but both times ended in divorce. Even one of her twin daughters, born to her first husband, ran away from home as soon as she turned 15 and never returned. She has since been dependent on Peggy on her alcohol and she died in 1991.
Grace Kelly was already engaged to a man when she became engaged to King Rainier II of Monaco. Fashion designer Oleg Cassini. Oleg Cassini created Grace Kelly's elegant and luxurious 'Grace kelly Look', and the two fell in love.
However, the conservative Margaret Kelly was not happy with a man who had already been divorced twice from Europe, and her mother's fierce opposition, Grace Kelly left the fashion designer and married the prince. She later revealed that Grace Kelly made a statement in which she regretted breaking up with him, saying that she could have appeared in how many films she could have appeared in and her life could have been changed if she had married him. Oleg Cassini later said, 'We fell in love and got engaged to get married. This fact doesn't change,' she said in her autobiography.
After that, after filming a few films, he appeared again in Hitchcock's film I'm Innocent as Kerry Grant's opponent, and he stopped by Monaco for a photo shoot, and a once-in-a-lifetime turn came. Prince Rainier III of Monaco invited her Kelly. After that, King Rainier III continued courtship, giving him a 12-carat diamond. At the same time, Kelly's next film, The Swan, was a comedy about a European royal family, in which Kelly's role was a princess. And then the film High Society became her last film of her Kelly. As Kelly accepted Rainier III's proposal and married her, she seems to have retired from the film industry in just over five years.
On April 18, 1956, with the world's attention focused, King Rainier III and Kelly had a one-week wedding of the century. Since then, Kelly has been called Princess Grace. She said that she would marry Rainier III after she was gifted two dollars to Frank Sinatra, making her two dollars a symbol of her good fortune.
Tragic marriage
However, after the marriage of the century, the actual marriage was not very happy. Kelly said she had "nothing else to learn after marriage, because she's learned to be manners through her acting career." She once said she spoke French in Monaco but she had trouble adjusting to Kelly because she didn't speak French well and she had a language barrier. She said she was fluent in French, so Kelly communicated with her children in English, and she said her tutor taught her children French instead.
In addition, as a public servant, he had to properly abide by the strict rules and traditions of the royal family, and he had to always show a tense and dignified appearance. It was also a life where I couldn't laugh out loud or chat with anyone. There were also many conflicts with King Rainier III, who had different ways of living and values. Her Rennie was her picky and difficult tyrant type, but her Kelly knew her husband's nature from her honeymoon. It wasn't long before she found out that Kelly was under a lot of stress and she eventually developed depression.
In addition, the conflict with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law Princess Antoinette was severe. Her mother-in-law had abandoned her daughter-in-law in the United States, and her sister-in-law had conspired to prevent her from marrying her pre-Kelly girlfriend in order to take her brother's place. She did not get along well with her family members, so she spent quite a bit of time in marriage.
Marriage deteriorated, and rumors spread that Rainier and Grace were having an affair, and King Rainier III banned Kelly's films from showing in Monaco. Longing for the free life of Hollywood, Hitchcock offered Kelly's appearance in the film Mani in 1962 and tried to return to the role, but when it became known that Kelly's role in the movie was a kleptomania-related character, it became a matter of dignity. The Monaco media opposed it, and the people of Monaco also opposed it, so it was ultimately canceled. This made her last film in which Kelly appeared in 1956's High Society. In her later years, journalist Barbara Winters even wrote an interview with Kelly in her book.
