Grace Kelly is one of the most notable actresses of Hollywood's Golden Age, but soon after winning an Academy Award for best actress for her role in 1954's "The Country Girl," she left it all behind to marry Monaco's Prince Rainier III.
Kelly had initially planned to continue with her career after the wedding, but Rainier later said he and his wife had decided she would stop acting, according to J. Randy Taraborrelli's book, "Once Upon a Time: Behind the Fairy Tale of Princess Grace and Prince Rainier." Although, as The List reported, "It was widely believed that it was Prince Rainier who made his wife stop acting, as Kelly had no plans of retiring at the time of their engagement."
Instead, she turned her attention to Monaco and philanthropic work, such as supporting the country's arts programs and founding a non-profit, AMADE, that supports the well-being of children.
She also had three children with Rainier: Caroline, Albert, and Stéphanie.
