You know [[Princess Phase|that fantasy young girls have about becoming princesses]]? She actually [[Defictionalization|went out and did it]].
[[Grace Kelly]]'s on-screen acting career lasted only six years, but in that time she established herself as one of the legendary actresses of Hollywood. Her first important role was in the classic [[Western]] ''[[High Noon]]'' in 1952. In 1953, she appeared in ''Mogambo'' with [[Clark Gable]]. Her next film was ''[[Dial M for Murder]]'' (1954), a thriller directed by [[Alfred Hitchcock]]; she became his favorite actress. After that, she worked with Hitchcock again in ''[[Rear Window]]'', where she played [[Jimmy Stewart]]'s fashion model girlfriend - probably her most famous role. Then she [[Playing Against Type|went against her type]] of glamorous, high-class women, and played the long-suffering wife of an alcoholic actor ([[Bing Crosby]]) in ''The Country Girl''. She won the Oscar for that role. In 1955, she appeared again in a Hitchcock movie, ''[[To Catch a Thief]]'' with [[Cary Grant]]. Her next movie was ''The Swan'' in 1956, where she coincidentally portrayed a princess. In the same year, she played her last role in ''High Society'', a musical version of ''[[The Philadelphia Story]]'' with Bing Crosby and [[Frank Sinatra]].

She was an icon of style and fashion, and her influence extends to this day - Betty Draper's
