A ground-breaking book about Grace
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
James Spada was the first Grace Kelly biographer to reveal that she was anything but "the girl in the white gloves" that the Hollywood myth machine insisted she was. Every other Grace biographer since owes him a debt. Spada's interviews with Grace's sisters, a niece, and several former lovers paint a sympathetic picture of a yong woman torn between conflicting loyalties and conflicting ideas of propriety. She was in many ways a libertine, but always she felt guilty because of her strictly Catholic upbringing. After she finally got free of her restrictive parents, she married a man whose position and lifestyle restricted her even more. In many ways Grace Kelly seemed a one-dimensional figure before Spada wrote his book. You'll never think of her in that way again.
