Following the anniversary of the late Princess of Monaco who would have turned 87 last weekend, a telegram from Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe to Grace Kelly has been revisited.<\/p>\n
It was revealed this year that both actresses were a consideration for Prince Rainier of Monaco. \u2018The New Republic\u2019 reported that Marilyn sent a telegram to Grace Kelly saying, \u2018I\u2019m so happy you found a way out of this business\u2019 on the day of the Hitchcock actress\u2019s marriage to the Monaco Prince.<\/p>\n
Apparently, Greek native Aristotle Onassis who had business interests in Monaco turned to Prince Rainier\u2019s royal adviser to suggest that the prince should connect with one of the most powerful and wealthiest countries in the world by choosing a wife who was a famous Hollywood star. Mr Onassis reportedly suggested Marilyn Monroe as first choice for potential bride but Grace Kelly was the final choice due to Marilyn\u2019s perceived undignified public image.<\/p>\n
Prince Rainier reportedly met Grace Kelly in 1955 when she was filming Hitchcock\u2019s \u2018To Catch a Thief,\u2019 they married the following year and Kelly gave up her acting career.
\nLet\u2019s look at the dynamics between two of Hollywood\u2019s finest leading ladies.<\/p>\n
The cards drawn are The Tower, The Lovers and The World.<\/p>\n
The Tower <\/b> represents Grace under fire, figuratively and literally. I feel that Grace Kelly understood the nature of the industry in which she lived and worked. As an actress who married a Prince, it was necessary to remove old and possibly false values in order to find a new way of life that was both challenging and liberating.<\/p>\n
The Lovers <\/b> is Marilyn\u2019s significator. Being considered first choice as the potential wife of a Prince, the issue of vice and virtue raised its head. The choice was made and whether Marilyn Monroe believed that she was in the running for potential marriage, she gracefully offered her sincere wishes to the \u2018better lady.\u2019<\/p>\n
The World <\/b>reveals the two ladies in their finest hour. Both actresses achieved world fame and fortune through attaining knowledge and application to hard work.<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s cards tell us that there was no rivalry between the actresses. More so, they understood the challenges faced in an industry perceived as ruthless. Both ladies are iconic in their own right and both ladies left the earth too soon.<\/p>\n
