Her Name Was Grace Kelly
Considered one of the most beautiful actresses of her time, Grace Kelly remains an icon today. Her life and career are well documented, from her work in Hollywood, to her marriage to Prince Rainier, and her tragic death in a car accident in 1982. But who was the real Grace Kelly?
This beautiful documentary tells Grace Kelly’s life story through those close to her and who loved her, including her family and friends.
The Grimaldi family gives access to its private archives, much of which has never been seen by the public. Many films were shot by Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier themselves, and reveal a woman who is free, vibrant and sur- rounded by her children. This is a poignant retrospective on an icon with a tragic destiny.
