A Jealous Husband Who Couldn’t Handle Her Stardom?
Grace Kelly was considered the luckiest woman on the planet after her fairy tale wedding but rumors of her husband’s jealousy and adultering ways circulated throughout Hollywood and the rest of the world. After their magical wedding, Prince Rainier III demanded that the screening of any Grace Kelly movies be banned in Monaco.
In 1962 Alfred Hitchcock attempted to cast the actress turned princess in his film Marnie. For her efforts, she would be paid $1 million or nearly $8 million in today’s dollars. Kelly turned down the role after public pressure mounted from the people on Monaco who didn’t want to see their princess play the role of a compulsive thief.
Perhaps Prince Rainier was so jealous because of the next man on our list who also happens to have been Grace Kell’s first fiance!
