Some people watching the Grace of Monaco movie on Amazon Prime might be wondering, Why is an actor portraying movie director Alfred Hitchcock in this movie? What has he to do with Monaco?
Well, he kind of had nothing to do with Monaco - the sunny place for shady people. He knew Princess Grace from her earlier life as Grace Kelly, the Hollywood movie star.
They made three movies together:
To Catch A Thief
Dial "M" For Murder
Rear Window.
When I think of Grace Kelly, I think of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy and my mother, because they were all born in the same year, 1929.
I thought about Jackie's adult life and Grace's adult life.
Jackie's had three phases:
First Lady of America
International wife of Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis
book editor.
Grace Kelly's had two phases:
movie star
princess.
(As Steve Martin would say, "Well, excuuuuse - me!")
LOL.
movie star.
princess.
Who is going to keep up with all that? - even Jackie?!
