On November 12, 1929, Grace Patricia Kelly was born in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to wealthy parents. Her girlhood was
uneventful for the most part, but one of the things she desired was
to become an actress which she had decided on at an early age.
After her high school graduation in 1947, Grace struck out on her
own, heading to New York's bright lights to try her luck there.
Grace worked some as a model and made her debut on Broadway in

Grace played Linda Nordley. The film was a jungle drama in which
fellow cast members, Clark Gable and Ava Gardner turned in
masterful performances. It was also one of the best films ever

a crippled, photographer who witnesses a murder in the next
apartment from his wheel-chair. It was the first time Grace was
teamed up with the world famous director, Alfred Hitchcock. The
film made her a bona fide star. Grace stayed busy in 1954 appearing
in five films. After GREEN FIRE, Grace appeared in DIAL "M" FOR
