Family: Grace Kelly Biopic Is “Pure Fiction”
Prince Albert of Monaco and his two sisters have labelled a new biopic starring Nicole Kidman as their mother Grace Kelly “pure fiction.” Albert, the current ruling monarch of the Mediterranean principality, issued a joint statement with Princess Caroline and Princess Stephanie denouncing the project, which is titled “Grace of Monaco” and is currently in production prior to a scheduled 2014 release. “We have had absolutely no association with this project, which claims to be about the lives of our parents,” the royal trio said in a statement. “For us, this film does not constitute a biographical work but portrays only a part of her life and has been pointlessly glamorized and contains important historical inaccuracies as well as scenes of pure fiction.”
Kelly became known as Princess Grace after she departed Hollywood, where she was known to “get around” a bit, if you know what I mean. Kelly was one of the most famous actors in the world and a favorite of Alfred Hitchcock in classic movies such as “Dial M for Murder” and “Rear Window,” but gave up the big screen for a new life as the wife of Monaco’s Prince Rainier III in 1956.
