  • In 1956, actress Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier of Monaco, and her magical transformation seemed like a fantasy. Only, all was not as it seemed. Kelly infamously died in a car crash-but few know the truth about that dark day.

    The accent that Grace Kelly learned was not a "faux" British accent, it was called the Transatlantic Accent, which was developed by American voice and drama professor, Dudley Knight, to refine the accents of American socialites and film actors of the time, as was the fashion.

      While we're talking about speech in movies, I wish some form of the Mid-Atlantic would resurface. A more modern iteration. So many latter day actors seem to mumble. Thoughts?

    The accident that killed Grace was initially reported that and Stephanie admitted that she was at the wheel and was distracted because she was arguing with her mother as she was driving. Because she survived the crash and could be charged criminally and public outrage at her for causing the death of her mother, then suddenly the story changed to Grace driving, despite witnesses stating otherwise.
    At the time of Grace's marriage, many wealthy Americans were buying up castles & estates and marrying titled European Royalty who had fallen on hard times. Many of Europe's Royalty had lost everything during the war or were deposed.

Will you younger folks please do a little more prep before mispronouncing so many names and words on your podcasts?

    The family that adopted me had two daughters that were much older than me. One of the twins was a beauty queen and an athelete. Everyone said she looked just like Grace Kelly. When I saw a pictures of Grace Kelly I couldnt believe how much Janet looked like Grace. I found out later that Janet was adopted also and her biological father's last name was Kelly.

    Lovely visuals! Long-time fan of Grace Kelly. I think her father didn't give her a chance. Of course, I don't agree with her many affairs but there were definately family issues. Rainier was a total creep. I don't think he felt regret until he lost Grace and the star power she had. Visited Monaco many times and her presence can still be felt much like Princess Diana's. Lovely presentation. Just would have added a bit of Stewart Granger in the Green Fire film. Don't believe they had any affair but in his autobiography, he mentions how truly beautiful she was. KUDOS to Factinate ! :)

      That’s like an old fashioned dowry. Did Rainier ask for it? Or did her father just donate it? Awful.

    • @Curlyblonde
      @Curlyblonde 4 месяца назад

      Ranier and the Principality of Monaco were bankrupt at the time of their marriage, so her dowry was a necessary cash infusion to put on the wedding and to avoid the banks from seizing some of his assets. Plus no one out of anyone of the Royal Houses in Europe wanted to marry him or couldn't afford to, since he needed a large influx of cash to keep things moving.
      At one point Ari Onassis heard about their dire financial straits and offered to buy the Kingdom in a sort of partnership deal, but still let Rainier & Grace keep their titles and run things, however they declined because of their distrust of his motives.
      Grace's contacts in the movie industry as a movie location for filming and a bit of advertising for tourism to mix with celebrities is what finally improved their finances.
