1956: Grace Kelly and "High Society", her last film


On this day in 1956, "High society" was released.    It was Grace Kelly's last movie before marrying Prince Rainier of Monaco.    She was one of the most popular ladies of Hollywood in the 1950s.

She died in 1982 after an automobile accident.   It was quite a shock.  I remember hearing about the car crash and the death the next day.
