01:00To everyone's great surprise, she leaves for Europe to marry a prince unknown to the Americans.
01:06As I said before, just getting married is a very big step for any girl and I'm, of course, I
01:13have a great many feelings about that and it's a very exciting thing and I'm very, very happy.
01:23It was insane. I mean, there were thousands upon thousands of people there to see the ship off.
01:29You know, to what, for grace, would go like this?
01:36On the deck, surrounded by her parents, the actress seems excited.
01:44She has always loved surprises, adventure and change.
01:52In leaving for Europe, she's leaving behind her film friends, her career in Hollywood recently honored with an Oscar.
02:04She's leaving New York, her adopted city.
02:09And perhaps, above all, her childhood.
02:14And her beloved family in Philadelphia.
02:25Nobody saw this marriage coming.
02:30She has always done what she wants, when she wants.
02:39Many would dream of living a life which awaits her.
02:43The life of a 20th century princess, married to Rainier of Monaco, the sovereign of this small, 700-year-old
02:52principality on the Côte d'Azur.
02:56It's here she will reinvent her life.
03:03Come on down.
03:05Come on down.
03:08Since her tragic death in 1982, most of her personal photographs and films have been stored in the family archives.
03:17Hundreds of previously unseen photographs, nearly 40 hours of films recorded by Grace and her husband, Rainier, over a period
03:25of a quarter of a century.
03:39Her son, Prince Albert, has agreed to show us these films.
03:45She loved to film.
03:47Maybe it stems from her days of being in front of the camera.
03:51And now she wanted to film herself.
03:53But I think she wanted to capture those wonderful family moments.
03:58Albert, bring that little football over here.
04:04Right until the end, the actress used her own amateur camera to tell the story of her daily life.
04:13Very different from her official image.
04:18An inside look at a complex woman whose chosen path continues to be questioned.
04:30We show these films to her American family and confidence.
04:35People who had never spoken out before.
04:41This is me, and that's Grace.
04:45I never really saw Grace get emotional.
04:51Who was Grace Kelly?
04:55She was fascinating because she was filled with paradoxes.
05:03And nobody knew quite what to make of her.
05:06She could be one person one moment and another person another moment.
05:10There was a mystery about her.
05:12What was it?
05:19To understand Grace Kelly, the mystery, we've been looking into her past.
05:27This is her childhood home in the Philadelphia suburbs in the United States.
05:33Her first film in 1932.
05:39Grace is on the left, in Scottish dress like her big sister Peggy, she's three years old.
05:46Opposite, Lisanne, her little sister in green, who will act as her chaperone in Hollywood 20 years later.
05:54It's her father who's filming, one of the first Americans to own a camera, Jack Kelly, perhaps the love of
06:03her life, whom she will have to measure up to.
06:08A three-time gold medalist in the Olympic Games, the 10th son of an Irish immigrant, he started as a
06:15bricklayer at 12 years of age, a champion like all the Kellys.
06:22Grace's father had been so successful, the greatest single oarsman in the world.
06:29They felt everyone in the family was capable of doing, being the best.
06:35Notably Kell, Jack's son, also a future international rowing champion.
06:43Or Peggy, the big sister, who is also athletic and his favorite.
06:51Their younger sister, Gracie, as she is known, born in 1929, is a bit different.
06:59She was not like the others.
07:01She just was not a typical Kelley kid.
07:04Grace didn't fit that mold.
07:06She was different.
07:08She was used to not being the star in her family.
07:11She was sort of the off-to-the-side child.
07:15She wasn't, nobody made much of her.
07:20A reserved little girl who blended into the crowd, and who really didn't like either competition or sport.
07:27Prince Albert, her son, is the owner of her childhood house.
07:35A kind of temple to the Kelley spirit, where Grace's mother, Margaret, sits enthroned.
07:43It's here the young Grace takes her first steps.
07:49So this is the famous door of the measurements of not only my mother, and you can see her name
07:58here.
07:59And that's what's touching, is that, yeah, she was two years old.
08:04Hey, follow me.
08:09As a very young child, she liked to take refuge in her bedroom.
08:16So this is my mother's room, although I think that she, at different times, was in other rooms.
08:22But this is where she spent the most time, I think.
08:30I got the impression that my mother liked to be alone at different times of the day.
08:34And so she liked to invent stories and had a lot of dolls to play with.
08:41She was a little shy, but she liked to be in company as well.
08:47She told me, you know, sometimes if you want to be on your own for a few minutes, it's fine.
08:56You know, there's that famous story of when my mother locked her in a closet.
09:01She thought, you know, well, I'm going to fix her.
09:04And, well, wouldn't you know, Aunt Grace was in that closet for over an hour, and she could care less.
09:15The young Grace was both obedient and rebellious, and would remain so all her life.
09:22An unusual combination which would soon bowl over Hollywood.
09:28For now, her parents encouraged her to take up the theater.
09:32Aged 12, she played her first role in this neighborhood hall to replace Peggy, who had fallen ill.
09:39Nobody imagines, then, that six years later, when she is 18 years old, she would tell her family that she
09:45wanted to be an actress,
09:47and that she was leaving for New York to start acting classes.
09:56The director, Robert Dornhelm, knew Grace Kelly well during the latter years of her life.
10:02She told me that her father predicted her that she's going to fall on her face, and she's going to
10:10be a no-good loser.
10:12That's not a serious job for somebody like you.
10:16Her father said something to me.
10:18He thought that was sort of, you know, a loser in some sense.
10:23She insisted.
10:28She feels that she could be a Kelly, too, but in her own way.
10:33Her enrollment in drama school in the bag, she convinces her parents to let her move to Manhattan
10:38in an institution for young girls from good families.
10:42I think they thought she'd be back home very shortly.
10:48There she meets Carolyn Scott, a model of the same age, who helps her gain entry into the fashion world.
10:56My mother set up Grace with a meeting with the owner of the Ford Modeling Agency, Eileen Ford.
11:04And when Eileen met with Grace, she thought she was too athletic and too much meat on the bones,
11:11and so she turned her down.
11:14Later, Eileen would refer to that as the greatest mistake of her career.
11:21She once told me that she had 250-some interviews and auditions before she got her first paying job.
11:31That is real determination.
11:34She constantly was afraid to disappoint her father.
11:44Grace doesn't turn anything down.
11:47Adverts for insecticides, for toothpaste, for cigarettes, beauty pageants.
11:57When her debut in repertory theater on Broadway is cut short,
12:00she starts to perform in the growing television industry, and she lights up the screen.
12:09She had a funny sort of gawkiness.
12:11I can't explain this to you.
12:13She was very graceful.
12:15But there was also something childlike and gangly about her.
12:18So when she was loose and easy and comfortable, she'd move,
12:21and it was kind of like a little deer.
12:24You know, a little deer who wasn't quite sure of being on its legs yet.
12:28It was adorable.
12:29I can't explain it, but it was so charming.
12:36Four years after her arrival in New York, a telegram arrives.
12:41Hollywood is calling.
12:42They want her to star with Gary Cooper, one of the biggest actors of the time.
12:47I read a script that Fred Zinneman was going to direct called High Noon.
12:54And I said, this girl, I hear wonderful things about her,
12:58and I think she could play the part of the wife in your movie.
13:04And he said, okay.
13:05I mean it.
13:06If you won't go with me now, I'll be on that train when it leaves you.
13:10Grace Kelly, playing a part every woman secretly understands.
13:17One film follows another, such as Mogambo with Clark Gable,
13:22the leading man from Gone with the Wind, and Ava Gardner.
13:30Filming takes place in the heart of Africa.
13:32Grace took her parents' small camera and sometimes films herself.
13:40Look at the face.
13:43She had a quality about herself.
13:46Leading men fell in love with her.
13:49So did the audience.
13:53Of course, we knew that our mother was a movie star,
13:57and it was strange to watch her movies and sitting next to her.
14:05She, you could sense that this was a very important part of her life.
14:12But her life really takes off with this man, Alfred Hitchcock.
14:19One of the greatest directors of his time.
14:25He was her Pygmalion.
14:29Let's say he helped her blossom.
14:32He made her a star.
14:36He managed to help her come out of her shell.
14:39This young girl from Philadelphia, who was a bit...
14:42You won't be able to take your eyes off the glowing beauty of Grace Kelly,
14:46who shares the heart and curiosity of James Stewart
14:49in this story of a romance shadowed by the terror of a horrifying secret.
14:56He brought her out of herself.
15:05Hitchcock describes her as a volcano covered with snow.
15:19A close friend of Grace Kelly, Bob Marks, associated with Hitchcock in the 70s.
15:24When he saw Grace, he said,
15:26this is perfect because she is elegant.
15:30She was well brought up.
15:32She's a lovely lady and ladylike.
15:36And yet there's this intense passion underneath.
15:44She was terribly seductive, without even trying.
15:50Bridget O'Bear is one of the actresses in To Catch a Thief.
15:55All she'd think about was work.
15:58At mealtimes, for example, I would hang out with Carrie.
16:01We would have a laugh.
16:03And Grace, she was at a table further away with her assistant,
16:07talking about the script.
16:10It was so serious.
16:14However, at the end of the day, the actress changes roles.
16:20When we were driving away in the evening with Hitch,
16:23Hitch said, I'm taking you for dinner.
16:27Hitch loved to crack jokes.
16:30And all of a sudden, we'd always see our Grace bursting out laughing,
16:35crying with laughter in the car.
16:39Can you imagine Grace crying with laughter?
16:51The tsunami Grace Kelly left behind the young woman
16:54who made toothpaste ads.
17:00The little girl from Philadelphia becomes queen of Manhattan.
17:05One of my favorite stories that she would tell
17:08about when she was living in New York City,
17:10she was in a taxi cab,
17:12and the taxi cab driver was looking in his rearview mirror at her.
17:17He looked at her and he said, you know what?
17:20You look like Grace Kelly.
17:22And she said, oh, thank you.
17:24And he turned around and he said, but you're cuter.
17:33Grace, the anti-Maryland.
17:37She's popular with men and also women who identify with her.
17:42She is considered to be one of the best actresses in the profession.
17:50As I was going to say last year.
17:57Well, time is running short again.
17:59So the award for the best performance by an actress.
18:04Grace Kelly for The Country Girl.
18:15Everybody wanted her.
18:18She had her choice of every script in the business.
18:24But listen to her.
18:35The thrill of this moment keeps me from saying what I really feel.
18:40I can only say thank you with all my heart
18:43to all who made this possible for me.
18:47Thank you.
18:50As if something was still holding her back.
18:55Many other actresses got Oscars and then their career went nowhere.
18:59And the father predicted that to her, that's going to happen to you.
19:05Even she had her two, three Hollywood roles.
19:16In Philadelphia, hearing the news of his daughter's triumph on the radio,
19:21her father, Jack, was incredulous.
19:25I can't believe Grace has won an Oscar, he said.
19:30She told me the night of the Oscars,
19:34she put the statue on the, somewhere on the table,
19:38went to bed and looked at the statue and it was pretty sad.
19:46Grace and her paradoxes.
19:48Six months later, she decides to change everything.
19:55She started calling us all,
19:58making dates for the next day.
20:00She came over and she said,
20:05I'm going to get married.
20:08And I said, congratulations.
20:12She says, well, what I'm going to tell you now,
20:15you may not want to congratulate me.
20:17She told me, and I can't tell you what I said
20:20because it's language I can't use on television.
20:23I'm going to marry the Prince of Monaco.
20:27And I think my career is over.
20:30I said, no.
20:33And I couldn't.
20:35I mean, it was just unbelievable to me.
20:42Unbelievable indeed.
20:45Grace tells them that for the past eight months,
20:48she's been writing in secret to Prince Rainier,
20:50the sovereign of Monaco.
20:53that she met him at his palace
20:55when she went to present her last film
20:57at the Cannes Film Festival.
21:02This meeting, organized by French journalists,
21:05took a turn that she wasn't expecting.
21:15She never talked about this,
21:17but she didn't quite know what to expect.
21:20And my father also never talked about his feelings
21:23before that meeting.
21:24But I don't think he also didn't think
21:28that there would be a second meeting after that.
21:30The love was probably not love at first sight.
21:36There was admiration.
21:37There was respect.
21:39There was...
21:39They impressed each other.
21:45She doesn't know much about Rainier Grimaldi yet.
21:49This bachelor, six years her senior,
21:52who speaks fluent English,
21:54spent his youth in boarding schools abroad
21:56before studying political science in France.
22:01He fought against the Nazis in 1944
22:04while she was still a teenager
22:06and was decorated for acts of war.
22:10He reigns over this two-square-kilometer territory
22:13between the sea and the mountains,
22:16which his family conquered in the Middle Ages.
22:19With Grace Kelly back in America,
22:21he makes the first move.
22:25She said, right away,
22:26he started writing to me
22:28very, very sweet letters.
22:31The romance really developed by mail.
22:38Eight months after they meet,
22:40Prince Rainier is invited to spend Christmas
22:42with the Kelly family.
22:44It's the second time they meet.
22:49Shortly after arriving at her parents' house,
22:52he proposes to her.
22:58Miss Kelly?
22:59And I did a surprise to you, Miss Kelly?
23:01I think she was very surprised, yes.
23:04Miss Kelly, what attracted you most about the prince?
23:08That's a very personal question.
23:12I remember very well sitting right here in this room
23:18and that so impressed me
23:21and I could see Grace and Prince Rainier together.
23:26It was a true love match.
23:29You know, she knew a lot of handsome young men
23:34and probably they were not challenging
23:36and also a lot of them
23:37would have been Mr. Grace Kelly.
23:40Grace didn't want that.
23:48With her marriage, it's official.
23:50The star is quitting acting
23:51and leaving America.
23:55The first private photos taken by Rainier.
24:08During the four months prior to her wedding,
24:10she shoots one last film
24:12then leaves to join him in Monaco.
24:18Dozens of journalists surround her.
24:20Her friends.
24:22Her mother.
24:23Her older sister, Peggy.
24:27Her father, who lets off steam in the gym.
24:31And Judith.
24:34It was eight days of...
24:37Absolutely...
24:38I mean, it was heaven.
24:39It was so much fun.
24:42She found the job of a lifetime.
24:44Being a princess.
24:46Nobody could fire her from that job.
24:48It's a job for eternity.
24:51Daddy cannot do anything about it
24:53because I am a fully employed,
24:56a successful woman.
25:01An eight-day crossing.
25:06It became very real.
25:10that we were going to get there
25:13and most of us were going to come back,
25:16but that she wasn't.
25:18She was looking forward to it,
25:21but that she was a little scared.
25:22It was just that it began to dawn on her
25:26how much of a change it was going to be.
25:29Joy and sorrow at the same time.
25:31Again, more paradox.
25:39Off the coast of Monaco,
25:41Rainier goes to meet her
25:42aboard his private yacht.
25:52You couldn't have made it up
25:53for a movie any better
25:54than it actually was.
25:56I was very swept up
25:58in the glamour of it all.
25:59I mean, it was just like,
26:01oh my God,
26:02this is such a wonderful fairytale,
26:03all of it.
26:11According to the press,
26:12it's the marriage of the century.
26:23I remember my parents
26:25put a photo of the princess,
26:27a very beautiful photograph
26:28of Grace Kelly.
26:29She was in a black dress
26:31in the shop window.
26:35We obviously bought the TV
26:38for the wedding.
26:39and she was in a black dress.
26:41What the actress doesn't know
26:43is that certain inhabitants,
26:44especially among the older generation,
26:46are hostile to her.
26:49A foreigner who made films.
26:52For them,
26:53she was the devil incarnate.
26:57Everyone was wondering,
26:58is she going to integrate
27:00into the Monogasque community?
27:02She comes from a long way away.
27:04She's a foreigner.
27:05Will she understand
27:06Monogasque people?
27:09This is from a time
27:10when we were much less open
27:11to foreigners
27:12than we are today.
27:24Back to the palace.
27:26For good this time.
27:35Seven centuries of monarchs
27:36contemplate her.
27:38She has lost 11 pounds.
27:41She knows she's being observed
27:43by her new family.
27:48We got to know her then.
27:50She had poise.
27:51She had presence.
27:53You couldn't be anything
27:54but dazzled by her.
27:57And we were under her spell
27:59straight away.
28:00She was our new aunt, so...
28:05She had some guts there.
28:07She was an actress.
28:09And that...
28:10That's got to help her.
28:12I think it started out
28:14as her best role.
28:19Inside the palace,
28:20Grace is presented
28:21by the Grimaldis
28:22to the Monogasque population.
28:25Some take out their cameras.
28:30I saw Princess Grace
28:31as I see you there.
28:34Adorable.
28:35We would have kissed her.
28:36You couldn't tell
28:37she'd been an actress.
28:39Actress.
28:45Even though she doesn't
28:47let it show,
28:47Grace is apprehensive
28:49about the big day.
28:57A week after her arrival,
28:59here she is approaching
29:00the cathedral
29:01on her father's arm
29:02in front of 1,800 journalists.
29:07I remember the church
29:09being very, very crowded
29:11and lots of cameramen
29:14hiding behind the pillars.
29:20One of the most intimate
29:21moments of her life.
29:23Followed live
29:24by 30 million spectators.
29:28She was absolutely beautiful
29:31in her wedding gown.
29:32You can see that she's kind of a...
29:35There's kind of a fragility about her.
29:38But I think it's
29:39the emotion of the moment.
29:41Grace, Patricia.
29:43Voulez-vous prendre
29:44pour légitimer poux?
29:46Régnier, Louis, Henri, Maxence,
29:49Bertrand, ici présent,
29:51selon le rite
29:52de notre mère,
29:53la Sainte Eglise.
29:54Yes, ma sainte.
30:00A murmured yes
30:02which certain journalists
30:03on the lookout for a scandal
30:04interpret as a hesitation
30:06before marrying.
30:10And when her husband
30:11fails to put the ring
30:12on her finger,
30:13they see it as an unconscious,
30:15subdued wish.
30:22She has quit acting.
30:27But the drama
30:28hasn't quit her.
30:31Both parents said
30:32that they would have
30:33loved to have
30:34had a much smaller affair,
30:36a much more intimate
30:37wedding somewhere
30:39in the countryside.
30:42I would have loved
30:43that too
30:44for my wedding,
30:46by the way.
30:47And I think
30:48Charlene feels
30:49the same way.
30:55A few hours later
30:56after the religious
30:57ceremony,
30:58the young newlyweds
30:59sail away
31:00on their Mediterranean
31:01honeymoon.
31:06What they told us
31:08from the early hours
31:09of their honeymoon
31:10is that once they
31:11got on board
31:12the De Uriante,
31:13they just collapsed
31:15on the bed
31:16and went to sleep.
31:18And then, of course,
31:19it was the following days
31:21and weeks
31:22of the cruise
31:24around the Mediterranean
31:24were absolutely amazing.
31:31Do you see them?
31:33This was a picture
31:35that my mother took,
31:36I think,
31:36on my father's
31:3733rd birthday,
31:39and then some shots
31:41of them
31:41on the beach
31:43in Ibiza.
31:54In Spain,
31:55the newlyweds
31:56continue to film
31:56each other.
31:59Although in love,
32:00Grace is nevertheless
32:01apprehensive
32:02about the return,
32:03her new life,
32:04her future responsibilities,
32:08and especially,
32:09perhaps,
32:10about the air
32:11that she must give
32:11the Grimaldis
32:12to ensure
32:13the future of Monaco.
32:25nine months later,
32:26it's a done deal
32:27when she gives birth
32:28to her daughter, Caroline,
32:30and one year later,
32:32her son, Albert.
32:35In the very beginning,
32:37she wasn't going out much,
32:39hardly at all.
32:40She was doing everything
32:41at the palace.
32:42She was doing
32:43her apprenticeship
32:44and learning French
32:45as quickly as possible,
32:47at least to get by,
32:49before being left
32:50to deal with the public
32:51on her own.
32:53That must have been difficult.
32:59She had the ambition
33:00to educate these kids
33:02like they would be living
33:04in a simple American family,
33:07not like living
33:08in a palace type.
33:10And I know
33:10that she always said
33:11to serve and said,
33:13please come,
33:14let her pick it up
33:15and take it in the kitchen.
33:21A contented mother,
33:23a woman in love,
33:26a fairy tale
33:28which makes the front pages
33:29of magazines.
33:34Considered as the most beautiful
33:35and elegant woman
33:36on the planet,
33:38grace inspires the dreams
33:39of tens of millions
33:40of men and women.
33:56She travels with her husband
33:57on state business
33:58and meets presidents
33:59Eisenhower and de Gaulle.
34:04But she fears having become
34:06merely just a head
34:07of state's wife.
34:19She was conventional.
34:22She would have been
34:22the perfect housefrau.
34:24That was in her nature,
34:27but there was also the poet.
34:29Then suddenly she forgets
34:31all the stuff
34:32that she was doing.
34:33It's like she's
34:34in the difference where.
34:39Named by her husband
34:40as president
34:41of the Monegasque Red Cross,
34:43a role that could have
34:44been honorary,
34:45Grace decides
34:46to throw herself
34:47into Monaco life.
34:49Just as she did
34:50ten years earlier
34:51in New York
34:52when she decided
34:53to break into film.
34:59Rainier was very ambitious
35:00about what he wanted
35:01to do with Monaco.
35:04And Grace was ambitious
35:05and wanted to help him.
35:09For him,
35:10the politics.
35:11For her,
35:12promoting the allure
35:13of Monaco.
35:14she decides
35:15to use her popularity.
35:20In a couple of years,
35:22Grace will put
35:23Le Rocher back
35:24on the world map.
35:27Rainier said,
35:28she is my minister
35:29of culture,
35:30leisure,
35:31health,
35:32and youth.
35:36His head of communications, too.
35:40Welcome to Monaco.
35:42She invented
35:42modern print system,
35:44really,
35:44if you think about it.
35:47In a few years' time,
35:49Monaco will change considerably.
35:53There is also another tunnel
35:55under construction
35:57so that the railroad
35:58can go through the mountain,
35:59which will give us
36:0122 acres
36:02of badly needed ground.
36:03As you can see,
36:04in Monaco,
36:04there's no place
36:05to go but up.
36:06My office is just there.
36:08You can see the windows
36:09from here.
36:10The economic boom
36:11initiated by the prince
36:13owes a lot to his wife.
36:15Well, here we are
36:16in my working office.
36:20So this used to be
36:21my mother's office,
36:23and her desk
36:25was over here
36:27before,
36:27and I remember
36:28as a kid
36:30playing on the
36:32carpet here.
36:35She worked a lot,
36:36and she received
36:37quite a number
36:38of people
36:38who were asking
36:40for different things,
36:42and she really,
36:44I think,
36:45she was a great listener,
36:47very compassionate.
36:50Here,
36:51she opened her door
36:52to hundreds of visitors
36:53to resolve their problems.
36:58She was such
37:00a sunny person.
37:02Whenever I was
37:03in her presence,
37:04there was happiness.
37:05I think she would
37:06understand people,
37:07you know,
37:08that came to her,
37:09that visited Monaco,
37:11whatever,
37:11exactly the same way
37:12as she would get
37:13to understand
37:14the role
37:14that she was doing.
37:16Wherever she was,
37:17she was present
37:18with people.
37:20We felt that
37:21she was really there.
37:22She was there.
37:23It's the same
37:24with her son,
37:25Albert.
37:26It's unbelievable.
37:27Albert enters
37:28into a room
37:29and forgets no one.
37:30He even goes
37:31to the guy
37:32who's cleaning
37:32the toilet
37:33at the back
37:33to say hello.
37:49Grace Kelly found
37:50her place
37:50in Monaco.
37:54More so
37:54than anyone
37:55who had previously
37:56taken this role,
37:57she embodies
37:58the happiness
37:59of the principality.
38:03but it's fragility too.
38:05By exposing herself
38:06to the press,
38:07she became prey.
38:12Since her wedding,
38:13the paparazzi
38:14haven't let her
38:15out of their sight.
38:16You know,
38:16she was upset.
38:17She was telling me,
38:18when I'm losing weight,
38:22they tell I have a cancer.
38:24When I have gained weight,
38:27they say I'm pregnant.
38:28Go in there with them.
38:30They won't bite us.
38:33They would?
38:33They're not nice at all.
38:35Should we go
38:35and have a look
38:35at the lines?
38:36Yes.
38:37Is she going too far
38:39by promoting Monaco
38:40with her husband?
38:41Yes.
38:42I think they're too late.
38:43Her daughter,
38:44Caroline, said,
38:45constantly put in the spotlight,
38:47we were caught in a spiral.
38:50My mother naively thought
38:51that if we posed
38:52for the photographers,
38:53they would leave us alone.
39:02young Stephanie is hunted down
39:04by photographers.
39:07She has to hide
39:08in the trunk of the car
39:09to go to dance classes
39:10for a year.
39:11They met one night
39:13in the field.
39:14We lie on the way
39:14to...
39:15Malheureusement,
39:16avec certaines presses,
39:19chaque instant de la vie
39:20est médiatisé,
39:24est critiqué,
39:26est amplifié,
39:26est sali
39:27à des fins commerciales.
39:31C'est lucratif,
39:33c'est un peu malsain
39:34de faire de l'argent
39:35sur le malheur des gens.
39:42To escape this hunt
39:43whenever they can,
39:45the Grimaldis take refuge
39:46in their property,
39:47Roccagelle,
39:48in the hills above Monaco.
39:51They have just bought
39:53a provincial farm
39:54which they're restoring,
39:56and several hectares
39:57of scrub land
39:58facing the sea.
40:06They really wanted
40:08to find a property
40:09that wasn't too far
40:10from Monaco,
40:11but that offered
40:12enough space
40:12for the family
40:14to be able to spend
40:16some wonderful times
40:16together,
40:17and to give us
40:19a sense of normalcy
40:20and a sense of freedom also.
40:22No photographer
40:24will ever gain access
40:25to it.
40:26At Roccagelle,
40:27Grace films
40:28with her camera.
40:36Reggae was playing
40:37the drums
40:38and Grace was making
40:39chicken sandwiches
40:40and the sheep
40:41were wandering around
40:43and the music
40:44was playing.
40:46There were also horses.
40:48I remember the name
40:50of a horse,
40:50Trixie,
40:51which I adored.
40:53We would go-kart
40:54on the little track
40:55which went around
40:55where the horses
40:56were kept.
41:04On Sundays,
41:06the prince would
41:07make breakfast,
41:08French toast
41:09on Sunday mornings
41:10for all the children
41:11who were there.
41:14And Princess Grace
41:15was always in the background
41:17filming us.
41:20Grace was director,
41:22stage manager,
41:23props,
41:24everything.
41:27We would film
41:28in her bedroom.
41:34And she also
41:35films her husband
41:37and vice versa.
41:42Those closest to them
41:43recall an ordinary couple.
41:46She was in love with them.
41:48She didn't say to me,
41:50oh, I adore my husband,
41:51oh, I love my husband.
41:51She wasn't that effusive,
41:53but she did love them.
41:54I saw them together,
41:56a loving couple together,
41:57hearing about each other.
41:59They didn't even have
42:01a king-sized bed.
42:01They had a little
42:02double bed.
42:07The films continue
42:08in the summer
42:09with her children
42:09and sometimes
42:10with her husband
42:11at her parents' villa
42:13on the east coast
42:14of America.
42:20Grace was almost childlike
42:23when she was here
42:24in that she could
42:25let her guard down
42:27and enjoy all of the moments
42:29that she shared
42:30with her sisters
42:31and her brother.
42:34She would put on roller skates
42:36and roller skate with us.
42:37She was funny,
42:38she would crack jokes,
42:39she would drink beer,
42:40she would cook,
42:41and we got to see
42:43Gracie that we knew
42:44and loved.
42:47Late at night,
42:48we would go down
42:49to the beach occasionally
42:51and take off our clothes
42:54and go run into the ocean
42:55and swim naked.
42:58Laugh and giggle,
43:00of course,
43:00a great exhilaration
43:01at such freedom.
43:04She did everything
43:06extremely well,
43:07but she could also
43:10be what we say
43:12naughty but nice.
43:16We could do things together
43:18that were not princess-like.
43:26Coming to America
43:27was always a moment
43:28of great adventure,
43:31freedom,
43:33a joyful time.
43:40Away from her role,
43:42she is able to let go.
43:47She no longer has to watch
43:49what she's saying.
44:03on her return to Monaco,
44:05she assumes the role
44:06that she has chosen
44:07for herself
44:08since her wedding.
44:12Only a few of those
44:14close to her
44:14guess the weariness
44:15that sometimes overwhelms
44:17her over the years.
44:25You know,
44:27Grace was very happy
44:28being there for a lot of years.
44:29She loved her life there.
44:31But, you know,
44:32then the children grow up,
44:33then your life begins again,
44:34you know.
44:36I could feel her kind of
44:38wistfulness
44:40at something being lost.
44:45In reality,
44:47her life wasn't a fairy tale.
44:48and she didn't want it
44:51to be seen like that.
44:53In her marriage,
44:54as in my marriage,
44:56in every marriage,
44:57I'm sure there were moments
44:58of fury,
44:59of anger,
45:01every emotion possible.
45:12Especially,
45:13as everyone in Monaco knows,
45:15she sometimes misses
45:16the atmosphere on set.
45:19She regularly returns
45:21to Hollywood
45:22to see her old friends,
45:23Cary Grant
45:24and Alfred Hitchcock.
45:30In 1962,
45:32Hitchcock wanted her
45:33to star in his film
45:34Marnie,
45:34but she had to turn it down
45:36due to opposition
45:37from the Monegasques.
45:48She realized,
45:49I think,
45:50very quickly
45:51that this was
45:53not really compatible
45:55with her role here
45:57and her responsibilities here.
46:00I think Hollywood
46:03never left her.
46:05I think it was
46:06in her blood.
46:07I think it was
46:08her life.
46:14She gave of herself
46:15without counting
46:16the cost.
46:17With her husband,
46:19she had put
46:19Le Rocher
46:20back on the map.
46:25But what now?
46:29I can't remember
46:30her ever saying
46:31to Reynier,
46:33do we have to do that?
46:36It was a little bit
46:37of a role
46:39that she was acting.
46:41You learn
46:42to turn on that smile
46:44when you need to.
46:45I really did
46:47see her turn it on
46:49and off.
46:51You know,
46:52you're an actress
46:53because you want to jump
46:54in different kind
46:55of character suits.
46:56One day,
46:57I would like to be
46:57a murderer
46:58or a crook
46:59and another,
46:59a hero.
47:00And there,
47:01she was always
47:02in the same.
47:07As always,
47:09she will bounce back.
47:10And it happens
47:11in Paris,
47:11where she moves
47:12to accompany
47:13her daughter Caroline,
47:14who's studying there.
47:19She meets
47:20young avant-garde actors
47:21who convince her
47:22to act in documentaries
47:23and recite Shakespeare
47:25in public in Europe
47:26and the United States.
47:29Among them,
47:31Robert Dornhelm,
47:32a young Austrian director,
47:34a leftist,
47:35and provocateur.
47:40This is a nice portrait
47:41that I did of her.
47:43She loved eating
47:44in a little simple bistro,
47:47shopping for onions.
47:51when we first met,
47:53I said,
47:53how shall I call you?
47:55And I said,
47:55well, what about
47:56call me Grace?
48:02In the anonymity
48:03of New York,
48:04without abandoning
48:05her monogasc duties,
48:07the princess finds
48:08a new lease on life.
48:12at that point in her life,
48:13she wanted to do more
48:15here in the United States.
48:17She had a lot of projects
48:18that were already
48:19in the making.
48:21She loved to kind of walk
48:23in the street of Manhattan
48:26without no one
48:27recognizing who she was.
48:30When she saw her dancer
48:31and actor friends,
48:33she became liberated.
48:35That's to say,
48:36she came here
48:37to an apartment
48:38very different
48:39to the Monaco Palace.
48:41She came here
48:42to dance,
48:43to lie down,
48:44to drink vodka,
48:45and to relax.
48:46She was happy,
48:47back to her old self.
48:50And after that,
48:51she would return to Monaco,
48:52where she would play
48:53another character.
49:05The paradoxes of a woman
49:07with multiple roles,
49:10happy in her contradictions,
49:13radiant in her parallel lives,
49:15and above all,
49:17an artist.
49:22This is her last film.
49:25In the summer of 1982,
49:27she leaves for a family cruise
49:29in the north of Europe,
49:32still with her camera.
49:38She is 52 years old.
49:43Was the mistake for Grace
49:44to go to Monaco?
49:46No, I don't think
49:46it's a mistake.
49:48I don't think
49:48it's a mistake.
49:49I think,
49:50I think,
49:50you know,
49:51a mistake is something
49:52you do
49:54for the wrong reasons,
49:57I think,
49:58or by accident.
49:59I don't think
50:00it was an accident,
50:00and I don't think
50:01it was for the wrong reasons.
50:02I think she went there
50:03for the right reasons.
50:05In other news overseas,
50:06as we said
50:06at the beginning
50:07of the broadcast,
50:08Princess Grace of Monaco,
50:09Grace Kelly,
50:10has died.
50:11She died in a Monaco
50:12hospital tonight
50:13with her husband,
50:14Prince Regnier,
50:14and her three children
50:15beside her.
50:16It was so sudden
50:16that it was a knife,
50:18it was a knife
50:19to the chest.
50:21It's not possible,
50:22it's not possible,
50:23not possible.
50:24It was horrific,
50:26horrific,
50:27horrific.
50:32The tragedy took place
50:34on September 13, 1982,
50:36to return to Monaco
50:38after Rocagelle.
50:39Grace takes her car
50:41and her daughter,
50:42Stephanie, accompanies her.
50:45At a hairpin bend,
50:47she has a stroke
50:48and loses control
50:49of the car.
50:55Stephanie,
50:55sitting in the passenger seat,
50:57tries to intervene.
51:01in the emergency room,
51:04so I put it on the park,
51:09as we say,
51:09and then I pulled the brake
51:10but when we pulled the brake,
51:12it doesn't stop a car.
51:14But in the panic,
51:15wanting to do something,
51:17I did what I believed
51:19to be able to do,
51:20I don't know.
51:24what she said to me,
51:26it's in English,
51:26I'm sorry.
51:28I'm sorry.
51:34Princess Grace is buried
51:36in the cathedral
51:37where she got married
51:3826 years earlier.
51:41Her daughter,
51:42Stephanie,
51:42who is seriously injured,
51:44must remain in the hospital.
51:48When
51:50Princess Grace died,
51:55a part of me
51:56went with her.
51:58I actually fainted.
52:00It's like
52:01the first time
52:02in my life
52:03I fainted.
52:06You're going to make me cry.
52:08It was
52:11just the end
52:12of a great
52:13woman's life
52:14and my aunt
52:15and a friend
52:18and I was not
52:19going to see her again.
52:31who was Grace Kelly?
52:36She alone
