Grace Kelly (November 12, 1929 – September 14, 1982) was an American actress who made her debut on television in the play "Old Lady Robbins" (1948) on the anthology series, Kraft Television Theatre.[1] In 1950, she made numerous television appearances on anthology series including The Philco Television Playhouse, Studio One, The Clock, The Web, and Danger. The following year, Kelly played Helen Pettigrew in the television play "Berkeley Square" on the Prudential Family Playhouse. In 1952, she portrayed Dulcinea in the drama "Don Quixote" on the anthology series CBS Television Workshop. In the same year, Kelly also starred in a number of other anthology series including Hallmark Hall of Fame, Lux Video Theatre, and Suspense.

Kelly's film debut was a minor role in the 1951 drama Fourteen Hours. She followed this with an appearance in the western High Noon opposite Gary Cooper. For her performance as Linda Nortley in John Ford's Mogambo she received the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress, and a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.[2][3] In 1954, she starred in Alfred Hitchcock's thrillers Dial M for Murder opposite Ray Milland, and Rear Window opposite James Stewart. In the same year, she portrayed a long-suffering wife of an alcoholic actor played by Bing Crosby in The Country Girl (1954)[4] for which Kelly received the Academy Award for Best Actress, and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama in 1955.[2][5] She reteamed with Hitchcock on the romantic thriller To Catch a Thief (1955) opposite Cary Grant. In 1956, she appeared in the romantic comedy The Swan, and the musical comedy High Society. Later that year, the 26-year-old Kelly retired from acting to marry Rainier III, Prince of Monaco, and become the Princess of Monaco.[6][7]
