If it has been made with a different figure or body type in mind, then not so much. So even for just Christmas holiday parties, find or have custom-made a beautiful dress for yourself.

Back in the time when actors actually had to took acting lessons in order to perform in a movie. Grace Kelly was as talented as she was beautiful.

There were plenty of actors in the 'golden age' that were terrible just as there are plenty of actors now who are superb.

[@wackneyhick7129]

Yes indeed. Dirk Bogarde said that screen acting was about the look, that Alan Ladd, for instance, wasn't very good with the words but he did great look. That stare into the lens that pins the attention of the audience and lets go only when the actor turns away or the director calls "cut".

This dress is a dream!

[@annmenzzasalma3113]

I loved Princess Grace. She didn't kill herself to become beloved to all the people of Monaco but in the end they considered her a true citizen of Monaco. She truly had it all. An Academy award so she was an A lister way before they used this expression and not some little C actress. Never had to chase reporters and major stars. They all came to Grace. She was never impressed with herself like so many today. She didn't rush to explain to television about what the papers were writing about because there were no scandals that I can think of or former employees writing cheesy books. She was the real thing.

[@mjremy2605]

Gush, gush, gush! Grace was the same as anyone else. Married into royalty and lost her independence, such a pity.

[@lemorab1]

I'm sure there were times when Grace wished she never became a princess and kept acting.

[@janavarrette9206]

​@@lemorab1 She actually wanted to act again. Alfred Hitchcock presented her the script of Marnie but the people of Monaco didn't want their princess to go back to hollywood so she turned him down.

[@lemorab1]

@@janavarrette9206 The pressure from her husband and his relatives was probably intense. The lead character in "Marnie" was not the image they would want Her Serene Highness to portray on the screen. Still, Grace Kelly would've been fantastic in the part. If you've seen the film recently, it is mainly noteworthy for an absolutely ridiculous portrait of mental illness and completely dated, like "Three Faces of Eve."

Please just find me another one who in so little time was so successfull all over the world. There is no one else. The big sin, is Grace left Movie to be a Princess. Ok She is still today the greatest ever, but if she had kept on acting she would have reached a higher level than the one she got. She was really very talented. I think most people remember High Society and not the same movie Hepburn made long before. K Hep is a great actress, unique, but I prefer I Bergman to her, as talent.

[@Worldwide170]

Yuo know everyone has a liking, and mine goes to Grace Kelly whose style and class had nothing to do with her way of baing a Princess. Grace Kelly was born that way, she was born Princess and that was written in her fate, the stars Knew everything. I think no actress has ever had facial feautures as enchanting has Grace Kelly's ones. Then she gave up too soon for showing her full talent. Only 5 years of acting and she got a well deserved Oscar. Her career lasted only 5 y. Please just find me

[@davejones5747]

But The Philadelphia Story is a damned good movie too. And Hepburn was clever enough to buy the rights to it, so the studio would have to hire her if they wanted to make it...after they had labelled her box office poison.

[@VCT3333]

Grace is a terrible actress compared to Hepburn. Beautiful, graceful and icy ... Yes. But there's a reason Philadelphia Story is soooooo much better. It wasn't just Kate. Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant and all the supporting cast were vastly superior.

Prendo spunto proprio da questo film *Alta Societa* per ringraziare l'autrice dell'articolo riguardante l'asino, anche perche', anche io, ne sono una Fervente ammiratrice e nessuna parola, poteva meglio esprimere i miei sentimenti riguardo a questo tenerissimo animale. Anche' perche', fra le tante espressioni negative ed ingiuste, rivolte a questo animale, ci sia stata (per fortuna al passato) la "modalita", per dare dell'ignorante ad un alunno, quello di mettergli in testa due orecchie d'asino. Ringrazio, dunque per l'appassionato articolo, ricordando a chi voglia fare la stessa lettura che, probabilmente, ci siamo trovati nell'alta societa' degli animali.

Does anyone know why Grace Kelly always played the love interest of geezers 40 years older than her in the movies and then ended up marrying on 40 years older than her. No wonder she drove herself off a cliff.

[@zzzbbbooo]

Grace's husband was six years older than her. Maybe a little research before your next post?

[@kerryiisms7989]

there's no need to be so insensitive about her death. firstly, age gaps were common in the 50s, it was normal. they weren't 40 years older, 20-30 usually. secondly, it's not as though she deliberately chose her male co-stars, that was the director's decision. thirdly, she did not drive herself off a cliff. she and her daughter, stephanie, were driving to her school, when grace suffered a stroke while driving. complications from the accident and the brain damage were the cause of her untimely death.

Oh I just had a look in your channel and only now I can get your reason. You're a Judy Garland's fan. That's clear. You know Grace won an oscar in 1955 for The Country Girl and Garland was on the list, Audrey Hepburn and Dorothy Dandrige as well. Grace had no fault. A jury gave Grace the Oscar Prize: Usually all Grace Kelly's fans admire Garland, but every Garland's fan is still gnawing at grace's win over Judy, and everyone of them hate Grace. The jury decided that way.

Man they are mediocre, not to say rotten bad at acting, but when you compare that scene with the timing and spark of the 1940 film version, it gets really drepressing.
