Grace Kelly looked beautiful in unearthed photos from her youth when she worked as an actress.
The star appeared in many films, including How to Catch a Thief, and three directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
For her work as Georgie Elgin in The Country Girl, she won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1954.
In 1956, Grace married Rainier III, Prince of Monaco, and they went on to have three children together – Princess Caroline, Prince Albert, and Princess Stéphanie.
On the big screen, the actress starred opposite some of Hollywood’s leading men, including Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Clark Gable.
Princess Grace was known for her blonde, perfectly coiffed tresses and her large, doe-eyed look on-screen.
After she married at the age of 26, Grace chose to put her acting aspirations to the side so she could perform her duties as a princess as well as pursue philanthropic work.
Hitchcock hoped he could persuade her out of retirement in order to appear in more of his films – but she refused.
On September 13, 1982, Grace suffered a mild cerebral haemorrhage while driving in Monaco.
She lost control of her car and drove off the steep, winding road and down the 120-foot mountainside.
Her daughter Stéphanie, a teenager at the time, was in the passenger seat.
Stéphanie tried but failed to regain control of the car.
The Princess was taken to the Monaco Hospital, which was later named the Princess Grace Hospital Centre, with injuries to the brain and thorax and a fractured femur.
She died the following night, aged 52, after Rainier decided to turn off her life support.
Stéphanie suffered a light concussion and a hairline fracture of a cervical vertebra, and was unable to attend her mother’s funeral.
Rainier, who did not remarry, was buried alongside his beloved wife after his death in 2005.
