November 12, 1929 - November 12, 2009 (80 years of a princess and a movie star)
She was born on November 12, 1929 and was destined to become one of the most beautiful women in the world...
Her sleek elegance was seen on the early days of television...some her credits include "Lights Out", "Robert Montgomery Presents", "Suspense", "Studio One", "Lux Video Theatre" and "The Philco Television Playhouse."
It was the handful of films that she appeared in that made her a part of entertainment history. Her appearances in High Noon, Dial M for Murder, Rear Window, The Country Girl, To Catch a Thief, The Swan and High Society showed the world her talents...
On April 19, 1956 she married Prince Rainier of Monaco and left acting and Hollywood behind. Sadly she was taken from us much too soon on September 14, 1982 when she lost her battle with injuries she received in an automobile accident...
One interest note...according to the Internet Movie Database, she planned on returning to acting in 1964 to appear in Alfred Hitchcock's film Marnie but the people of Monaco didn't want their princess playing a thief while romancing Sean Connery. The role eventually was given to Tippi Hedren...
Today - in honor of what would've been her 80th birthday...
