In 1955, at the 27th Academy Awards, the stars shone brightly and everyone looked on.
In this grand ceremony, Marlon Brando won the Oscar for "On the Riverside", and the film queen fell to the young Grace Kelly.
Grace Kelly at the time, only 26 years old, was directly sealed through a "Country Girl", and at that moment, she was in the spotlight and the stars were shining.
It was supposed to be a joy and a celebration, but years later she said, "That night, I was the loneliest person in the world." ”
On the night of the award, a reporter called Grace's father and asked him how he felt.
The father said:
"I always felt it should belong to her sister Peggy, because no matter what Grace does, Peggy will do better."
No matter what she did, she could not get the recognition and affirmation of her father, this shadow has always accompanied Grace's growth, and her fairytale life is always vaguely covered with a layer of yin,
"Every success I have made has frustrated him."

Grace Kelly was born in Philadelphia on November 12, 1929.
Her father was a three-time Olympic rowing gold medalist who started her own tens of millions of construction companies; her mother was a swimming champion, a cover model, and was the first female coach at the University of Pennsylvania.
There are four children in the family, except for Kelly, the rest of them have inherited their parents' excellent athletic talents and extroverted personalities, so that the shy, gentle Kelly seems to be incompatible with the family.
Kelly, an athlete-turned-parent, especially likes to judge his children by athletic ability, so the seemingly weak Kelly has become a marginal member at home.
For her, the norm of family life is obedience, especially obedience to all her father's decisions, never daring to resist, never daring to demand.
But even so, in her father's eyes, she has always been the least likely child in their family to succeed.
Kelly, who is so afraid and obedient to his father, the only rebellion in his life is to insist on choosing to perform.
Grace has loved acting since she was a child, but this has always been rejected by her parents, especially in the eyes of her father, actresses are similar to street girls.
But Grace was unusually insistent on this point, and after being admitted to the art school, she studied while supporting herself by working as a fashion model, while going to Broadway audition to find performance opportunities.
On the road of acting, she resolutely went forward alone, wanting to prove herself through talent and hard work.
After graduating, she started with television and shot nearly 60 TV shows.
After that, from the film audition of "Taxi", to the screen debut "Fourteen Hours", to the movie "Noon", which established her superstar status, she finally became a hit "Red Dust", Grace's film road was smooth and smooth, step by step to the peak.
In 1954, she began to work with her Bole- Hitchcock, and starred in the famous "Telephone Murder", "Rear Window" and "To Catch a Thief" three films.
Hitchcock, a Hollywood suspense master known as the "Freud of the film industry" and "mad ghost", is notoriously demanding of actresses, but has a special love for Grace Kelly.
Hitchcock called her "a snow-capped volcano" and rejected other actresses who sought him out for a reason that was —"I only look for Grace." ”
In 1955, Grace won the Oscar for "Country Girl". But excellent and hard work, but still can not get a word of praise from her father, making Grace feel lost and hurt.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" data-track="148" > princess career</h1>
A year later, the father and daughter were reconciled, and Grace was getting married, the Prince of Monaco.
This means that Grace is about to become the princess of a country, and Grace, who has always achieved nothing in her father's eyes, finally makes him satisfied with the matter of marriage.
At the end of April 1955, Grace attended the Cannes Film Festival in France and met The Monarch Of Monaco, Rainier III.
Rainier III fell in love with the beauty, who was "both ice and fire", and then launched a pursuit offensive.
In December of the same year, Rainier III traveled to the United States to meet Grace's family and proposed marriage three days later.
Grace's parents were overjoyed, and her father gave her $2 million in dowry, a fortune for the world's second-smallest country.
In January of the following year, Prince Rainier III made a lifelong contract with Grace with a 10.47 ct Cartier platinum diamond ring.
Grace wore the engagement ring in her film High Society.
On April 4, Grace, along with her family, bridesmaids, and more than eighty boxes of dowries, left New York Harbor by boat and landed in France for a wedding ceremony on April 19.
The first wedding in media history to be dubbed "The Century", Grace entered her princess career wearing a Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry set given to her by the prince and a dream wedding dress designed by designer Helen Rose and presented by MGM (known as "one of the most memorable royal wedding dresses").
On the day of the wedding, U.S. President John F. Kennedy said: "Standing by her side and marrying her, it could have been me."
In addition to the possibility of becoming the first lady, the King of Iran has also proposed to her, and she may also become the Princess of Iran.
But after this high-profile wedding, Grace's life was not as happy as others thought.
Rainier III insisted on marrying Grace, perhaps not because he loved Grace deeply, but because she was fit.
The family conditions are excellent, oscar popular actress, she became a princess, can add heat and attention to the small country of Monaco.
Moreover, Monaco had signed a treaty with France stipulating that monaco would be incorporated into France if there were no male descendants after the death of the head of state of Monaco, and Rainier III, who was 32 years old at the time, was extremely anxious.
Grace's appearance just solved his troubles.
In the early days after marriage, the two frequently appeared in public, happy and sweet.
But this sweetness did not last long, and only a few months after the "wedding of the century", Rainier was out to raise his mistress.
First married to a foreign country, still unfamiliar with life, the closest husband began to become indifferent, from the lively and noisy post-film career to the princess who guarded the lonely and cold palace, Grace could only bear all this in silence.
Externally, she was the noble, elegant, philanthropic princess who received cheers and applause from the people, which made the aura of the Monaco royal family shine brighter; in private, she suffered from insomnia and allergies, and endured loneliness and disconnection from the outside world alone.
When Hitchcock invited her to star in her film "The Thief," she was thrilled.
Acting, that is his beloved career, but as a princess of a country, how can he play a "thief"? The voices of popular resistance were everywhere, and Grace could only bear to refuse.
After that, this opportunity still appeared from time to time, but she was trapped in the position of princess, and these things were out of her favor.
On September 13, 1982, Grace was in a car accident and died the next day.
Coincidentally, the place where she flew off the cliff happened to be the place where she raced in the movie "To Catch a Thief". It is said that after filming this scene, she also worried that sooner or later, there would be a terrible car accident here.
In a word.
There has always been a legend about the Monegasque royal family: the ruler of the Monaco royal family was cursed for 700 years, that is, none of the members of the Monaco royal family could obtain a long-term happy marriage.
I don't know if the curse really exists, or if this sentence after the play has become her fate, and the magnificent Grace has died...
For this car accident, the outside world is also talking about it. On the day of the car accident, the royal family reported that Grace was slightly injured, but the next day the royal family announced to the outside world that the princess was seriously injured and had died.
There is also a little-known truth: during the rescue, Rainier III personally removed Grace's oxygen breathing apparatus without even informing Grace's mother.
However, on the day of Princess Grace's funeral, Rainier III was devastated, with the news saying he was "like a lost soul".
Then, Rainier III, who had been messing with flowers and grass, did not remarry, and one person grew old, saying of Grace: as a wife and a mother, she was perfect.
I don't know if it was for repentance, or Grace's death, which finally evoked his belated affection...
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="04" data-track="148" > fairy tale reality</h1>
Grace once said: The reason why my life is portrayed as a fairy tale is because it is indeed a fairy tale.
It is indeed a fairy tale, as dreamy and beautiful as a fairy tale, but also as illusory and fragile as a fairy tale.
52 years of life, in the first half of her life, she made 11 Hollywood films, twice nominated for an Oscar, and after a seal, she felt the sense of accomplishment brought to her career by the little golden man; in the second half of her life, she ascended to the throne of the princess that countless people could not touch, and enjoyed the glory and loneliness brought to her by the crown.
In 2014, Nicole Kidman starred in "The Princess of Monaco", Grace, who was trying to reconcile herself six years after marriage, was reproduced.
Grace in the movie is the ideal Grace of many people, she has become a brave princess, on the world stage, for the small country of Monaco she represents.
But how far the plot of the movie is from her truly closed and lonely life, only she knows.
The sweet sugar of the fairy tale has always been the defeat of reality.
