Given his turn, film director John Ford who cast her for «Mogambo» (1953) said with American bluntness: « This dame has breeding, quality and class». But Grace had spent hundreds and hundreds of hours in earlier years working with scripts to develop that assurance. She listened to you and applied what you said».Ĭary Grant marvelled at Grace’s sang-froid when confronted with pages of dialogue on the set of «To Catch a Thief». An uncanny glimpse into her destiny!ĭirector of film and television Ted Post: « Her beauty alone was spellbinding… but Grace was also very determined and worked hard.

Whether famous actors or directors or the best stylists or photographers they all were moved to voice their praise. It is very interesting to look at Princess Grace through the eyes of people who had the privilege of working with her or knew her.
