Thanks for the picture megknight. I don't know if anyone else has, but I have never seen it. The headpiece is, um, interesting to say the least. I have to say though, only she could pull that one off.

I have some footage from that ocassion, well it only shows Princess Grace at the airport or something. And there's a nice pic from this visit in which Princess Grace and Jackie are in the same pic. Does anyone know if there was a Gala in the White House during the Grace & Rainier's visit in 1961?

I also saw a pic of Grace and Jackie together during 1968's Seville Easter festivities at a Gala.

BTW Julia thanks for the nice mini tribute you did to Grace, my fav pic was the 1968 Seville pic. Do you know how to lo enlarge the pics at Rex Features?

Isifa has a Grace Kelly anniversary photo set. I don't know what it's for, but there's loads of pics from her career (and a few of her as Princess of Monaco):

Grace Kelly on Isifa.

Tonight, or more accurately, last night, I watched "The Swan" for the first time. Not that horrible TV show of American origin which seems to have found itself on foreign shores. But the great movie starring our beloved Grace. For she is beloved not merely in Monaco or the region of my birth, but also out there in TRF land as well. It was a most enjoyable movie. Alec Guinness is one of the finest actors of the 20th century. A delightful supporting cast as well. It even includes Van Dyke Parks who wrote the lyrics to one of my favorite Brian Wilson compositions, Heroes & Villians. But I tangetize. Grace was beautiful in the movie. Even in the "Country Girl", she was beautiful. It is not easy to disguise such natural beauty. Anyway, I loved the movie. Nice score too. Good dancing. Pleasant dialogue too.

Wonderful pictures Julia! She really was so stunningly beautiful.

Question: Is that Juan Carlos she is with in the last picture?

Thanks Gabriella! From model to actress to princess Grace really was always so stunningly beautiful and elegant.

Yes, Grace is sitting next to a very young Juan Carlos. Problem is I don't know what event there were attending when photographed!

Princess Grace was such a beautiful woman. Her name was definitely appropriate for her.
