7. Grace Kelly
We could have put Grace, Princess of Monaco as the title of this entry, but since we are not really fans of royalty, we decided to go old-school with simply Grace Kelly. In the end, that is the name under which she starred in movies and stole everyone’s hearts.
Grace starred in a number of classics, from High Noon to Mogambo, from To Catch a Thief to Dial M for Murder. She was also one of the classiest and most beautiful women that ever lived. Plus, she became a real life princess for Christ’s sake.
In 1982, Kelly and her daughter Stephanie were driving home to Monaco when Grace suffered a minor stroke which caused her to lose control over the car. The vehicle drove off the mountain road and Grace suffered injuries she couldn’t recover from. Stephanie survived.
