High Society: Grace Kelly And Hollywood - Plot & Excerpts
At precisely the same time, Rainier wrote Miss Grace Kelly a formal note of thanks for interrupting her busy professional schedule to visit him. So began a lively and frequent correspondence—an epistolary courtship instead of one conducted in person. According to Rainier, he and Grace “revealed more and more with each letter.” They wrote about the world and they wrote about life, about themselves, their feelings and their histories. It had been easy for him to find lovers, Rainier admitted (as it had been for her)—“but my greatest difficulty was knowing a girl long enough and intimately enough to find out if we [were] really soul mates as well as lovers.” In their letters over seven months, they had time to become pen pals and then friends, “long before they ever held hands,” as he added.In the letters, as Rainier recalled, they gradually came to see the similarities in their different backgrounds. They were both public figures uncomfortable with their status as celebrities.
