Such a goddess. I swear they don’t make ‘em like Grace anymore.

Most of Grace’s films I watched for the first time with my mum, which is why I have a nostalgic love for her. Besides being beautiful, she was a great actress and starred in many of Hitchcock’s films, including my favourites; Dial M for Murder, To Catch A Thief and Rear Window.

She lived a literal fairytale life, growing up to become a Hollywood star then marry a real fucking Prince. As Birdman would say, you need to put some respek on Grace’s name. She shares a birthday (November 12th) with the most elegant female in my life, my mum and was definitely the most glamorous actress of her time.

So for this week’s Lily Loves Alphabet I made a collage of Grace pictures because she’s gorgeous and had great style. I also threw in some essential Grace quotes to live by…

“I never say never, and I never say always.”

“I would like to be remembered as someone who accomplished useful deeds and who was a kind and loving person.”

“I favour pearls on screen and in my private life.”

“I avoid looking back. I prefer good memories to regrets.”

“The idea of my life as a fairytale is itself a fairytale.”

“Hollywood amuses me. Holier than thou for the public, unholier than the devil in reality.”
