Even the Royals: Grace Kelly | Fire and ...

Wondery
About this episode

While we work on some new Even the Rich episodes, check out these episodes from our other show, Even the Royals. They’re all about the ultimate Hollywood Royalty: Grace Kelly and her daughter, Stephanie.


Grace Kelly was a Hollywood icon in the 1950s. She worked with legends like Clark Gable and Alfred Hitchcock and only left when it was time to marry a real-life prince. She seemed to live the ultimately fairy tale life, but it came at a price – she fit herself into the box of perfection only to find herself trapped there. In part one of this two-part series Grace is a young girl in an unloving family who dreams of being a star. But Tinseltown demands the best, so if Grace wants leading roles – and an Oscar – she’ll have to turn herself into a flawless leading lady. No matter what it may cost her.
