Grace Kelly

Attended the Grace Kelly exhibition at the TIFF Bell Lightbox this evening. Beyond her luminous natural beauty, I was impressed by how 'graceful' she was with her calm, down-to-earth, demeanor. She appeared to be someone easy to like and trust. Her high-society lifestyle didn't seem to change her and she didn't go off the deep end as so many celebrities do. She had a simple elegant style that was reflected in her clothes, and she stuck to it. Overt sexuality was not part of her persona. She moved easily from playing royalty on the screen to royalty in real life. By dying in a car accident at age 53, our image of her as young and glamorous is preserved forever.

The show runs to January 22nd.
