Grace of Monaco: Hollywood Princess

9pm, Channel 5

Despite acting for only six years, Grace Kelly left a formidable mark on screen by starring as one of Alfred Hitchcock’s alluring female leads in Rear Window and To Catch a Thief, as well as winning an Oscar for her performance in 1954’s The Country Girl. Her promising career was cut short, however, by her marriage to Prince Rainier of Monaco at the age of 26. This archive-laden doc explores her life as Monaco’s princess before her tragic death from a car crash in 1982 at only 52. Ammar Kalia
