The year 1929, the year of the Wall Street Crash, was a bad one for many people. However, it was a good year for me — it’s the year I was born. I found out that I share the year of my birth with three famous ladies.
Sadly they are no longer with us, but their memory endures. Meet the Twenty-Niners! PRINCESS GRACE OF MONACO Her name was Grace Kelly. She was born in Philadelphia in 1929 into a wealthy household.
Not satisfied with the easy life, she had a yearning to become an actress. In order to achieve her goal, she moved to New York City, where she did some modelling. The next move took her to Hollywood, where, after a few roles, the great director Alfred Hitchcock cast her in several movies.
After she appeared in movies like Rear Window and Dial M for Murder, it did not take long for the beautiful, talented actress to become a star. An Academy Award for best actress followed for her role in The Country Girl, also starring Bing Crosby. The film High Society, with Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra, turned out to be her last film.
Marrying Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1956, the movie star became a real-life princess, living in the Mediterranean principality. She and Rainier had three children: Caroline, Albert and Stephanie. Then a tragic car accident put an end to her life in 1982.
She was 52 years old. Her husband, the Prince, was inconsolable at losing her. JACQUELINE KENNEDY ONASSIS Jacqueline Bouvier was born into another privileged household in 1929.
