  1. Grace kelly was an american commoner that became an actress and later met and married the prince of monaco.


  2. NO.

    -SS (-:Smiling Star-:)

  3. She was a film star..good looking at that...

  4. Nope. She was an American movie star and a good one at that.

  5. No.  She was a high society debutante from Philadelphia, (from a wealthy family), who chose to become an actress, instead of just a high society housewife.  Through her career, she met Prince Reinier, I believe it was at the Cannes Film Festival, and the rest, as they say, was history.

  6. No. Check out the following:

  7. How far back do you want to go?  The Kellys supposedly descend from the Irish High King Colla da Crioch, who died in 357 CE.  Not so far removed in time, Grace Kelly's paternal grandfather immigrated to the United States from County Mayo, Ireland, and her mother, Margaret Katherine Majer (1898-1990), was born in Schloss Helmsdorf, Germany. Grace's dad, John Brendan "Jack" Kelly (1889-1960), an Olympic rower, made his fortune as a brickwork contractor, while her mother taught P. E. and coached women's athletics at the University of Pennsylvania.
