Another in our new series of old ads featuring famous stars, jocks, and other, culled from the zillions of old magazines in my possession.

I've read a bunch of bios about Grace Kelly, and my takeaway is that her marriage to Prince Rainier was not a love match, but rather a means of getting her father's approval.

A lot of these books have quotes from her parents, who seemed never to have missed an opportunity to belittle her.  Her old man, who'd been snubbed by society for being Irish Catholic, probably thought that uniting her daughter with a (very low tier) royal was getting back at the peeps who rejected him.
