Because Grace commanded so much respect, there was always most total silence when she arrived on set, but she never distanced herself from others, and she was enormously friendly to everyone — no stuffy attitude, no star complex. As for her talents, Grace acted the way Johnny Weissmuller swam or Fred Astaire danced — she made it look easy. And she probably went through life being completely misunderstood, since she usually said exactly what she meant. (Cary Grant)

Hello, dear followers! I realize I have been MIA lately, but life has been so crazy busy, I have barely had time to gather myself and try to maintain some balance. I will try to queue up some things for the next week, because I will be going on a mini birthday vacation to Santa Fe, New Mexico.
If anyone has any recommendations about things to do, places to see, restaurants to check out, etc., I would love to hear them! I’m making a huge list of which I won’t even be able to do half of, but I definitely want options!

LOVE IT! I know it’s different, but I think she pulls it off. :) And that dress… I would love to see it up close.

→ Grace, the Princess of Monaco
I would like to be remembered as someone who accomplished useful deeds, and who was a kind and loving person. I would like to leave the memory of a human being with a correct attitude and who did her best to help others.
^ This! :)

My personal favorite is High Society by Donald Spoto, though some consider it very safe. It has a lot of great details about Grace’s early life as a model and actress and many wonderful quotes from those who knew her.
The very first Grace biography I read was Grace by Robert Lacey. I remember enjoying the read at the time, but it has been a very long time since I’ve read it!
I also really like Sarah Bradford’s Princess Grace. It’s a very respectful, yet intimate telling of Grace’s life, but it is a bit dated, having first been published in 1984.
Thank you for asking! :)
70s Grace appreciation.
