Her Final Film, in Frank Sinatra’s Arms
In her final film, High Society, Kelly wore her own engagement ring as a well-bred Philadelphia heiress. In a case of art imitating life, she was seen in Frank Sinatra’s arms, sighing, “I don’t seem to be made of bronze then?”
A few years before her death, she said, “I regret I didn’t stick to it for another five years because I believe I might have made a real name as Grace Kelly.” Being a princess wasn’t as grand as she thought. But she kept busy with charity balls, flower art and being the first woman on 20th Century Fox’s board.
