Grace Kelly’s First Role Was Less Celebrated Than Her Time In Hollywood
It was in 1942, at the age of 12, that Grace Kelly first caught the acting bug. Kelly auditioned for the lead role in “Don’t Feed The Animals” which was being produced by the East Falls Old Academy Players. Kelly won the role and quickly realized her love for both acting and dancing.
While attending another socially prominent private institution, the Stevens School, she continued to land more roles and perfected her acting chops and dancing abilities. Before leaving the school she would list in her graduation yearbook that her favorite actress was Ingrid Bergman and her factor actor was Joseph Cotten. She didn’t realize at the time that only eight years later she would soon be listed as a favorite actress by millions of adoring fans.
