The Actress Turned Princess Literally Fell From Grace

But She Gave Her All to Hollywood

Six days a week, Kelly worked from dusk until dawn. After a long day’s work, she would eat a hamburger and go straight to bed for 10 hours of sleep. One morning, she wrapped up at the Green Fire set, hopped on a flight to France, and started shooting To Catch a Thief.
