About This Item
New York: St. Martin's Press; Thomas Dunne Books, 2007. Cloth, xii, 307 pages, [8] pages of plates, illustrations; 25 cm. Tight, clean copy. Stated First Edition. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. A fine copy of the first printing. "Her Serene Highness, Princess Grace of Monaco, the legendary Hollywood screen siren, Grace Kelly is an American icon whose beauty is unrivalled, and whose oft-imitated aristocratic style and cool elegance has never been eclipsed. Wendy Leigh- after three years' research--has gained unprecedented access to over one hundred sources who have never talked about Grace before, including nine of her until now undisclosed romances--among them an English aristocrat, an American tennis player, and a Hollywood legend-- and also including her priest friend, Father Peter Jacobs, and Bernard Combemal, the former head of the S.B.M, the consortium that runs Monaco. Wendy Leigh provides revealing new details about Grace s life, including her premarital romantic swan song which took place during her voyage to Monaco, the hitherto untold story of her troubling relationship with bridesmaid, Carolyn Reybold and the moving story of Grace s lifelong relationship with actor, David Niven. Wendy Leigh paints a compelling portrait of Grace, the ambitious young actress, Grace, the dutiful princess who transformed the principality of Monaco into a jet-set haven, Grace, the kind-hearted philanthropist, Grace, the loving mother, and Grace, the patriotic American. Wendy Leigh s book has not been written for those readers who wish to view Grace as a saint, but for those who--like Leigh herself--believes that she was a strong and wonderful woman. / Wendy Leigh is the New York Times best selling author of eleven books including Prince Charming; The J.F.K. Jr. Story, and The Secret Letters of Marilyn Monroe and Jacqueline Kennedy. She lives in London.. 1st. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo. Collectible.
