Grace Kelly
Parler du cinéma américain des années 1950 est incomplet sans cette royauté hollywoodienne. Avant de devenir la princesse Grace de Monaco et de se retirer de la scène, cette beauté était une actrice à succès et une muse d’Hitchcock. Elle a joué dans trois thrillers consécutifs d’Hitchcock – Dial M for Murder, Fenêtre arrière, et To Catch a Thief.
Grace Kelly a reçu une étoile sur le Hollywood Walk of Fame. Après son mariage, elle se concentre principalement sur ses fonctions royales et sur le travail social. En 1982, à l’âge de 52 ans, la diva est décédée tragiquement dans un accident de voiture mortel.
