The Actress Turned Princess Literally Fell From Grace

Reporters Failed to Get Beneath Her Steely Exterior

Reporters repeatedly failed to drill beneath her steely shell. Whenever they would ask intrusive questions about things like her measurements or whether she wore wigs, Kelly always shut them down. At one point, the rumor around town was that her costar tried to leave his wife for her.

Her costar Ray Milland, from the 1954 film Dial M for Murder, supposedly tried to leave his wife of 21 years for a shot at marrying Kelly (Milland’s wife called Kelly a “homewrecker”). But, of course, the actress wouldn’t speak about it when the subject was brought up in interviews.
