The Life And Times Of An American Princess","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrace Kelly's public persona sounds glam: a Hollywood star marries royalty. But behind the cameras were decades of unhappiness and a lonely death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd in this well-researched biography, Leigh (Prince Charming: The John F. Kennedy, Jr., Story) presents Kelly as the daughter of a self-made millionaire known for his philandering and emotional indifference. Yet she was eager to impress him and longed for attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe found it onscreen and in a series of affairs with older, married men: Ray Milland, Bing Crosby, Gary Cooper and the Shah of Iran. In fact, according to Leigh, she had affairs before and after her marriage. Kelly looked cool, but she was sexually aggressive subject that Leigh doesn't shy away from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mystery is why the Oscar winner chose Prince Rainier, the ill-tempered, cash-strapped ruler of a tiny principality. It wasn't a love match: Rainier got a $2 million dowry, while Kelly's glamour turned a dissolute country into a playpen for the rich and famous. Kelly hoped to keep her career and was crushed when she realized marriage had trapped her. She could divorce but she couldn't take her children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeigh makes certain to note Rainier's infidelities along with chronicling Kelly's history, acting career and charitable work in Monaco.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wendy Leigh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47041669595305,"sku":"9780312377915","price":9.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/9518\/0962\/files\/9780312377915.jpg?v=1776924973","url":"https:\/\/roseyravelstonbooks.com.au\/products\/true-grace-the-life-and-times-of-an-american-princess","provider":"RoseyRavelston Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
