A Conversation for Alfred Hitchcock
Grace Kelly
Paully Started conversation Sep 8, 2004
Perhaps Hitchcock's favourite leading lady, Grace Kelly summed up perfectly his obsession with the classically beautiful 'ice maiden' - a striking blonde with an air of elegance and a simmering, repressed sexuality lurking beneath the surface.
Although she's magnificent in 'To Catch a Thief' and the perfect distraught victim of an attempted murder in 'Dial M...', it's in 'Rear Window' that Grace Kelly puts in her greatest performance. She's bold, brave, astonishingly beautiful and a true forerunner of the action heroines of later years.
What a true star - and a tragic loss to the world when she died tragically in a car crash in the early 80s.
