Whose that girl?



Another whose that girl only more elegant. She looked like a Queen and was treated like a Princess. But in the end was only roadkill.

And not the gross Garage Mahal roadkill.

Whose that girl?

Grace is a nice way to describe her.

Just goes to show sometimes good things do come out of Philly. Let's see...the Declaration of Independence, Philly Cheese Steaks, and her. I think that covers it.

Grace Kelly

Of course there is more to the story:

In her final year in Hollywood, Grace, nominated for Best Actress for her performance in The Country Girl, was up against Judy Garland for her role in A Star is Born. After the Oscars were awarded, Grace was sharing the post-awards ceremony with Marlon Brando (Best Actor for On the Waterfront) when Brando slipped Grace his phone number. After Grace slipped out of the post-Oscar party at Romanoff’s, Grace hooked up with Brando at her Beverly Hills Hotel Bungalow. During the tryst a drunken Bing Crosby suddenly appears at her door to find Brando and Grace in flagrante delicato. Bing gets thrown out the door on his ass, leaving the naked Grace alone with Brando again. Two hours later the phone rings, and a famously slurred voice screams into the phone, “This is Judy Garland – JUDY FUCKING GARLAND YOU BITCH! – You took what was rightfully mine. Tonight was my last chance for the Oscar. You’ll have many more chances in the future. This was it for me. I’ll NEVER FORGIVE YOU!” And Judy slammed down the phone.

I heard a story that Judy Garland was asked if she thought Grace Kelly was a nymphomaniac, and her response was, "Maybe if they calmed her down."

That's not the kind of thing Garage would eat.

You know what's sort of spooky? Watching "To Catch A Thief" which has a scene where she's driving on this Monaco road like a maniac.

It was during this movie that she met the Prince. I often wonder if it was on those roads that she died.

From the link above:

Contrary to legend, Grace did not take the dive, off the same road used in To Catch a Thief. They are actually quite a distance apart. The film location however, is still breathtaking. Just not her's.
