Hardly anyone can think of classic Hollywood without recalling actress Grace Kelly. She wasn't in very many films, but Kelly had a huge impact on Hollywood and on the world. Here's the tragic story of Grace Kelly.
Grace Patricia Kelly was the third child born into a wealthy Irish-Catholic family in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Kellys were never fully accepted into high society, despite their substantial wealth. If someone had the good luck of being wealthy around the early to middle part of the 20th century, they still had to have the right background to be welcomed among the upper class. Unfortunately, it didn't matter how much money a family had if they were of the Irish-Catholic persuasion, as many elites still gave them the cold shoulder.
According to The Washington Post, Grace's father, Jack Kelly, was not one to be put out. If he wasn't going to be accepted among the Philadelphia Main Line elites, he would have just as luxurious a mansion as any aristocrat. So he built an elegant family home in the East Falls neighborhood of Philadelphia. Jack was the son of Irish immigrants and made his fortune in the construction trade during the post-World War I boom. He was also one of the rare few unaffected by the 1929 market crash, due to him never investing in stocks.
