Carol Grace Biografía y Hechos
Grace Patricia Kelly (Filadelfia, 12 de noviembre de 1929-La Colle, Mónaco, 14 de septiembre de 1982) fue una actriz de cine estadounidense ganadora de un premio Óscar, y posteriormente princesa consorte de Mónaco por su matrimonio con el príncipe Raniero III. Tras comenzar su carrera de actriz en 1948, tres años después debutó en el cine con la película Catorce horas y al cabo de dos años, en 1953, con el estreno de Mogambo, se convirtió en una estrella de Hollywood y llegó a participar en un total de 11 filmes. Con sus interpretaciones, reunió varias nominaciones a los Globos de Oro y los Premios de la Academia, ganando el Óscar a la mejor actriz por su papel en la película The Country Girl. Cuando se encontraba en la cima de su carrera, se retiró del mundo del cine, a los 26 años, para casarse con el príncipe soberano de Mónaco, con quien tuvo tres hijos: Carolina, Alberto y Estefanía. Como princesa de Mónaco, logró que Mónaco se revitalizara, aumentando el número de turistas y de dinero, lo que hizo recuperar la economía monegasca. Además, en su papel de presidente de la Cruz Roja, promovió una gala benéfica anual que obtuvo mucha relevancia y ayudó a la mejora del hospital así como de otras infraestructuras hospitalarias de Mónaco. Tiene una estrella propia en el Paseo de la Fama de Hollywood, situada en el 6329 de Hollywood Bulevar, por su carrera cinematográfica, anterior a convertirse en princesa de Mónaco. Es considerada como uno de los mayores mitos cinematográficos y una de las divas más reconocidas de la historia del cine, además de ser un referente de la moda femenina en su época. Biografía Primeros años y familia Hija de John Brendan Kelly, un empresario de la construcción y de Margaret Katherine Majer, educadora y exatleta de ascendencia alemana, nació en Filadelfia el 12 de noviembre de 1929 con el nombre de Grace Patricia Majer Kelly, en el Hahnemann University Hospital. Era la tercera de los cuatro hijos que tuvo la familia Kelly, la mayor, Margaret Katherine, conocida familiarmente como Peggy, nació en 1925, dos años más tarde, en 1927, nació John Brendan Jr., más conocido como Kell. En 1933 nació la última hija, Elizabeth Anne, conocida como Lizanne. Jack Kelly era un exatleta olímpico muy respetado en Filadelfia. Había nacido en 1890 en medio de una familia humilde de origen irlandés que había emigrado a los Estados Unidos. Su padre era un jornalero que había ido a parar a la capital de Pensilvania para trabajar en la industria textil. Se casó con Mary Costello con quien tuvo diez hijos, de los cuales solo ocho sobrevivieron. En plena adolescencia, Jack se aficionó al remo y lo convirtió en su obsesión, hasta el punto de que se buscó un patrocinador para poder participar en la Diamond Challenge Scull de 1919, la competición más reputada de este deporte, pero su solicitud fue rechazada. Pero un año más tarde, consiguió dos medallas de oro en los Juegos Olímpicos de Amberes, una de ellas individualmente, y la otra por parejas con su primo Paul Costello. Después de esta hazaña organizó, con su hermano Charles, su propia fábrica de ladrillos Kelly for Brickwork, con un mercado orientado a la construcción de edificios mayores con la que se hicieron ricos. En 1917 conoció a la que sería su esposa, Margaret Katherine Majer, hija de unos emigrantes alemanes que se licenció como profesora de Educación Física en la Universidad de Temple, y que se casó con Jack Kelly el 30 de enero de 1924. Ese mismo año Jack Kelly volvió a ganar una medalla de oro con su primo en los Juegos Olímpicos de París. Cuando nació Grace, la familia Kelly ya gozaba de una cierta bonanza económica y la hazaña olímpica de su padre hacía que fuera una familia conocida en Filadelfia. En otoño de 1934 sus padres la matricularon en el Academy of the Assumption, en Ravenhill, donde recibió una educación católica y donde completó sus estudios e hizo sus primeros papeles en el teatro interpretando el papel de la Virgen María en las obras de Navidad y donde comenzó a practicar ballet, su primera vocación. Aquí comenzó a aficionarse por la lectura y leer muchas obras de teatro sobre todo de su tío George, quien había ganado un Premio Pulitzer en 1926 por su obra de teatro Craig's Wife. Con catorce años, en 1943, se matriculó en la Old Academy Players en el barrio de East Falls, que tenía un grupo de teatro donde ya había actuado su hermana Peggy para fundaciones benéficas. Aquí es donde Grace decide que quiere triunfar en el escenario, sea como bailarina de ballet o como actriz. Seguramente su tío George Kelly, dramaturgo de renombre en Estados Unidos y ganador del Pulitzer, y su otro tío Walter Kelly que era cantante de un music hall y actor de vodevil que tuvo un cierto éxito radiofónico y como actor, influyeron en su decisión de trabajar en el mundo de la escena. En 1947, Grace finalizó sus estudios secundarios que cursó en la Stevens School. En aquella época su hermana Peggy ya se había casado y esperaba su primer hijo, su hermano Kell, quien practicaba el remo como su padre, entrenaba en el río Schuylkill preparándose para participar en la Diamond Challenge scull, que ganaría en dos ocasiones, y para participar en los Juegos Olímpicos del año siguiente; y su hermana Lizanne apenas finalizaba su educación primaria. Grace decidió que quería seguir sus estudios de ballet en el colegio femenino Bennington, en Vermont. Desgraciadamente, no se pudo matricular, ya que allí le pedían un año más de matemáticas que Grace no había cursado. Entonces decidió matricularse en el Academy of Dramatic Arts de Nueva York donde, a pesar de presentar su solicitud fuera de plazo, fue aceptada por ser sobrina de George Kelly. Así Grace se fue de su Filadelfia natal para ir a vivir en Nueva York, donde inició su carrera. Carrera como actriz Primeros trabajos Mientras estudiaba en Nueva York, Grace buscó un trabajo complementario a sus estudios de actriz, y curiosamente este trabajo era el mismo que había tenido su madre cuando era soltera: modelo. En aquella época anunció varios productos, pero sobre todo publicitó cigarrillos, productos de limpieza y lencería. Llegó a patrocinar la marca de cigarrillos Old Gold , que se anunciaba en grandes carteles en las calles céntricas de Manhattan. En 1948, justo después de terminar su primer año en el Academy of Dramatic Arts, Grace actuó con The Bucks County Playhouse, en New Hope, Pensilvania, donde interpretó un papel de la obra de su tío George: The Torch Bearers. Al año siguiente le llegó la ocasión de actuar por primera vez en Broadway, con la compañía del célebre Raymond Massey, con una obra de August Strindberg titulada The Father, que se estrenó primero en Boston y el 16 de noviembre de 1949 debutó finalmente en Broadway. Las críticas sobre su actuación fueron muy favorables y después de este éxito recibió varias ofertas para actuar en el teatro y en la televisión. En los dos años siguientes interpretó más de sesenta papeles dramáticos de todo tipo, sob.... Descubre los libros populares de Carol Grace. Encuentra los 100 libros más populares de Carol Grace
