Grace Patricia Kelly from Philadelphia Misfit to Princess Consort of Monaco
Bob Brown adds a welcome soothing, sensitive touch as he narrates this account of the life and career of Grace Patricia Kelly, from her birth, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the third of four children of Margaret Katherine Majer Kelly and the Olympic Gold Medal-winning Jack Kelly, Sr., who often refers to his timid second daughter as family misfit, as his other children pursue athletic regiments.
Grace attends Ravenhill Academy, a Roman Catholic girl's school, and Stevens School, also in Philadelphia, before attending American Academy of Dramatic Arts, in New York City, at which she is urged to practice diction lessons, to transform her Philadelphian accent into a semi-British sounding speech pattern.

The next year, Kelly upset frontrunner Judy Garland, who made a massive comeback in the second iteration of "A Star Is Born," to snag the Best Actress prize for her performance in "The Country Girl" (). It was one of five films she released that year, proving the Academy has always loved rewarding ingenues with busy work schedules.

Grace Kelly: Precious Memories
Great footage, terrible documentary
While the footage in this documentary is pretty good, with original black and white footage being colorized, intertwined with numerous photos, I quickly realized what a fluff piece this was with I formation that was so wrong it's was embarrassing. For example, Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier married in , but throughout this piece, a family portrait of the Grimaldis in keeps popping up with the caption '20th Wedding Anniversary'. Footage of some church, which is clearly in the US, keeps being referred as the cathedral in Monaco! And the list goes on. "Kelly did her own stunts during the shooting of 'To Catch a Thief' " What on earth?!? That famous car scene was shot in front of a screen!!!
