Grace Kelly, celebrated as a favorite of Alfred Hitchcock, captivated audiences with her roles in iconic films like Rear Window, co-starring with James Stewart, another of Hitchcock's favorites. Despite an initially lukewarm reception for her performance in High Noon, Kelly's star continued to rise.

Her career took a dramatic turn when she married Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1956, necessitating her retirement from acting to assume her role as the Princess of Monaco at just 27. Sadly, this was not to last either as Kelly tragically died in 1982 in a fatal car accident, while she was driving with her daughter, Princess Stéphanie, who thankfully survived.
