2 Notes
The Legacy of Grace Kelly
Princess Grace was only 26 when she quit acting and just 52 when she died, having suffered a stroke behind the wheel and running her car off a mountain road like the one in “To Catch a Thief.” So she always seemed young. Fans never saw her age, they never saw her movie career jump the shark, and (“Country Girl” aside) they never saw her appearing less than perfect. So there was nothing to tarnish her legacy, to besmirch the recollection of fans who wanted to remember her in her prime.
