Grace Kelly
 The Country Girl $9.98 What a treat! Grace Kelly without glamour and Bing Crosby not just a smooth baritone...great story... great performances and a healthy dose of the crooner's mellow tones... recommended highly... can't look away...don't miss it!  The Grace Kelly Years: Princess of Monaco $24.95 The best book on Grace Kelly that I own. This is a book that was prepared as a companion piece to an exhibit covering Grace Kelly's life. So much of her life was saved for posterity, and each piece displayed here was not just saved because it was her's, but because of a story associated with it, mainly about other famous people who called Grace "friend". The photography is spectacular. This museum quality book contains the most photographs of Grace grouped together between two covers than I have ever seen before, along with some pictures that I had not seen before. The print production values are practically perfect. This is a sturdy piece, constructed to stand the test of time, something Grace Kelly is very likely to easily achieve. She helped modernize Hollywood's idea of what a smart, educated, beautiful, blond, classy lady was. This is a book about a movie star famous for a smoking, sensual sexuality, who reinvented herself in a way not even attainable to a Madonna by marrying a prince, and becoming herself a princess. Together, Rainier and Grace brought a kingdom caught in the grip of decay, decadence, nearly bankrupt, and turned the whole thing around - all before she died at a very early age.  Grace Kelly Style: Fashion for Hollywood's Princess $35.00 Hollywood star, royal bride, beloved princess ? Grace Kelly (1929-1982) embodied all three titles with a style all her own. Renowned for her cool beauty and faultless taste, the young actress stood apart from the other film sirens of the 1950s, with thousands of women, both in the US and Europe, emulating her classic yet accessible style. Her marriage to Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956 catapulted Grace to further fame and cemented her influence on the world of fashion. From the Parisian catwalks to the pages of Vogue, the Grace Kelly Look became the look of the moment.?? This book, the first to look exclusively at Grace Kellys unique style, accompanies an enchanting exhibition opening at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, in April 2010. Sumptuously illustrated, the book introduces Graces glamorous wardrobe - dress by dress, couturier by couturier, among them Chanel, Madame Grs, Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior, and Balenciaga - as she transformed herself from actress to bride to princess. |
