Grace Kelly

 

Most know Grace Kelly as an actress and style Icon. It's true, she starred in 29 films most of which were directed by Alfred Hitchcock, but there is a bit more to this inspirational Princes.

Grace came from a family that was no stranger to the spotlight. Here father earned his recognition by winning three gold medals as an Olympic sculler. Her mother was the first coach of the woman's athletic department at the University of Pennsylvania. It's no wonder Grace herself was the first actress to be issued on a US stamp in 1993. She was also awarded a medal by the Austrian government for helping to aid refugees from Hungary, trying to escape invasion from Russia.

Bette Davis

Bette Davis, with eyes like hers you wouldn't think she had to fight so hard to prove her talent. After being refused admission to LeGallienne's Manhattan Civic Repertory she enrolled at John Murray Anderson's Dramatic School. Here she became the star pupil, which is no easy task when you are up against talent like Lucille Ball. After preforming in numerous plays she was hired on by Universal. Unfortunately when she arrived in Hollywood the studio rep left without her because he couldn't find anyone who looked like a movie star.

She had an up and down career and moved on to Warner Brothers where she won two Oscars. These two Oscars weren't enough for them to take her seriously. It wasn't until after she tried to break off her contract that they started giving her primary rolls. Her up and down ride continued on but not in vain. In 1977 she received the AIF's Life Achievement Award.

It's safe to say that Bette Davis, with her serious gaze, is a beautiful example of strength in character and style.
