I'd intended to post this yesterday to coincide with the 64th anniversary of its publication. However, true to my nature, I got hung up on minor details and it went unposted. Now that I’ve edited the crap out of the cover, it’s finally ready for primetime... sort of.

NEWSWEEK magazine - May 17, 1954

THE COVER: A calm, clear-eyed beauty, Philadelphia's Grace Kelly is the latest star to reach Hollywood's top rung. Now one of the busiest actresses in Hollywood, she undoubtedly inherits much of her drive from her father, the fabulous John B. Kelly, who built a multimillion-dollar construction business from a $7,000 loan. Kelly, a famous oarsman and Olympic winner, saw his fondest dream come true when Grace's brother, John B. Jr., won the Henley Regatta in England. But Kelly dreams have a way of coming true with surprising regularity. For a story about Grace and her family of champions, see page 96.

THE KELLYS’ COOL FILM BEAUTY

In a quieter moment of history, as the words of George M. Cohan's song go, everyone was crazy about a legendary New York girl named Nellie, the daughter of Officer Kelly, and as beautiful and lively a girl as ever danced an Irish reel:

The Boys are all mad about Nellie, the daughter of Officer Kelly; And it's all day long they bring flowers all dripping with dew, And they join the chorus of Nellie Kelly, I Love You © 1922 M. Witmark & Sons, © renewed 1949 Agnes Cohan. © assigned 1952 to George N. Cohan Music Publishing Co.

In 1954 Hollywood, a world away from Nellie in time and space, everyone is still a little awed and breathless by the shooting star of quite a different Kelly girl, from Philadelphia, a coolly beautiful actress named Grace.

At 24, Grace Kelly (see cover) is a relative Hollywood rarity - a star who came out from the East already bright and shining, dispensing with the usual apprenticeship through the ranks of the studio publicity posers, the leg-conscious starlets, and the struggling featured players. After only two years in pictures, she has the kind of contract with M-G-M that Beverly Hills regulars envy - only three films a year and extra payment for any others she chooses. She is currently regarded as one of the hottest properties in films. Since she came to public notice, as Gary Cooper's peace-loving wife in High Noon, and, later, as Clark Gable's major distraction in Mogambo, Grace has made four major films, and her list of leading men (Ray Milland, James Stewart, William Holden, Bing Crosby, and Stewart Granger) sounds like an autograph hunter's New Year's resolutions. Her current hit, Dial 'M' for Murder (NEWSWEEK, May 10, 1954), has just been released.

All of this puts blond Grace quite a bit ahead of little Nellie; but only, in point of fact, by a generation or so. Behind Grace, and probably in great part responsible for her success, is the story of the rise of a great Irish-American family, of men and women blessed by strong arms and good looks, a dogged instinct for hard work, and a sure feel for success.

Grace's father, John Brendan Kelly, 64, is a handsome, vigorous, and wealthy Philadelphia contractor, who won himself a corner of sporting history by his great rowing victories in the '20s. One uncle, George Kelly, is a ranking American playwright (The Show-Off, Craig's Wife). Her late uncle, Walter, was the beloved “Virginia Judge” of the vaudeville stage. Her brother, John B. Jr., followed in his father's footsteps by becoming the greatest oarsman of his time (Diamond Sculls champion in 1947 and 1948). To be a standout in the Kelly family, as Philadelphians justly observe, takes some doing.

Pat Went to School: The story of Grace Kelly begins, perhaps, on her great-grandfather's farm in Ireland.

“There were five boys in the family," as her father John relates, “and not much money to spare. It was plain to my grandfather that he could not educate them all so he called them together one day and said: 'Boys, we are going to put the oldest one of you through school, but the rest will have to stay and work the farm and contribute a share to Pat's schooling. At least one Kelly will be educated.' So Pat went to school and ended up the dean of Dublin University. My own father never had a day in school himself, but he had a wonderful memory, all right, and maybe that's where Grace gets her talent for learning a part.”

At 20, the County Mayo farm boy who was to be Grace's grandfather came to the United States and met and married Mary Costello, who had preceded him out of the same county. They settled at the Falls of the Schuylkill, 5 miles from Philadelphia, and began raising their family. The first seven children all went to work in the mills before they were in their teens. The last three, among them Grace's father, got a break: They were able to go through grammar school before settling down to work.

Tunney and the King: John Kelly served three years' apprenticeship as a bricklayer. He was getting nicely started on his trade - and growing adept at his hobby of rowing on the Schuylkill when the first world war took him off to France. There, in his off-hours, he boxed at 175 pounds, and he was well on his way to taking the light-heavyweight championship of the AEF when he broke his ankle in a truck accident. The man who did win the title was a Marine named Gene Tunney.

Last week in his pleasant Philadelphia office (the building is a replica of William Penn's Letitia Street house) John Kelly read aloud a letter from the former heavyweight champion which concluded: “Polly [Tunney's wife] doesn't know that but for an accident the world would never have heard of her husband as a pugilist.” This may have been so. The man Tunney beat for the AEF title stayed three rounds with him; Kelly had stiffened the same fighter in the first round in an earlier bout.

Bricks and Oars: Kelly came back from France to resume his bricklaying and his oarsmanship. In 1920, having already won the national singles, he went to England to try for the Diamond Sculls at Henley, rowing's highest prize. At the last moment, his entry was rejected because he was not a gentleman - the Henley definition of that being one who has never worked with his hands.

He got his revenge two months later by winning the Olympic singles at Antwerp, beating England's champion, among others. In exultation, he sent his sweaty green rowing cap to the King of England, with the compliments of John Kelly. Twenty-seven years later he stood on the banks of the Thames and saw his son John, University of Pennsylvania student and by Henley standards a “gentleman,” take the Diamond Sculls by eight good lengths.

In 1924, John Kelly married a beautiful Philadelphia girl of German ancestry named Margaret Majer, an athlete and magazine-cover model herself. By the time Grace, the third of their four children were born, the Kellys were growing prosperous. John Kelly had started a bricklaying business with $7,000 he borrowed from his brothers, George and Walter, and he was rapidly turning it into what is now an $18 million contracting concern.

In 1935, John Kelly ran for mayor of Philadelphia on the Democratic ticket and was narrowly beaten. Two years later, when Grace was 7, a much more important thing happened to her. Douglas Fairbanks Jr. came to the Kelly house to visit. (“He kissed me goodnight. I was never going to wash again.")

A Trouper at 11: Grace was a quiet child, who could, however, forget her shyness on the stage. When she was 11, she played a part at a presentation of Philadelphia's old Academy Players. In the middle of the show, her stage mother muffed her lines. With characteristic coolness, Grace dropped her handbag, turned her back on the audience, and gave the older actress her lines, while she was picking up her bag. John Kelly turned to his wife: “We've got a trouper on our hands."

In 1947, fresh from Stevens school in Philadelphia and a trip to Europe, Grace started trouping in earnest. She sped to New York and enrolled in the American Academy of Dramatic Arts to learn how. To support herself, she found work as a model and worked her way up to the sixth heaven of those models who command $25 an hour. Six times, during her New York days, she looked out at her friends from the covers of Cosmopolitan and Redbook. “The money was very nice," she says as she recalls this, “and that's what makes it all worth-while."

After modeling and the academy, young Grace worked her way into television and did very well on TV's dramatic circuit. Her thinly drawn blond beauty and a certain discipline of manner were heavily in demand, although often for specialized roles. (“I was afraid for a while that I'd be typed as an English wife.”) But few directors who saw her forgot the Kelly features - a face, as one Hollywood surveyor put it, which reminds him of a cool, fast stream in a mountain hideaway.

In 1951, after starting a movie part on location in New York, she went out to the Coast. Preferring New York to Hollywood, she had no desire to move away, and M-G-M had to hustle before she considered a contract. She got her second big part, in Mogambo, on the strength of a screen test which John Ford, its director, remembered. It was a test, fittingly enough, in which she played an Irish girl with a brogue. Ford, an Irishman, found it hard to believe when he heard that she was American born.

A Classic English Type: In California, Grace Kelly lives as quietly as can be in a small apartment on Sweetzer Avenue in West Hollywood. She still retains her apartment on 66th Street in Manhattan. She is not given to making friends easily, and her manners give many people the impression that she is aloof. Hollywood columnists who try to interview her, after their first fruitless attempts at eliciting expansive or humorous responses, finally emerge as if they had been presented at court.

When she finishes her present picture, Green Fire, a drama about emerald hunting in Colombia (with Stewart Granger as the emerald hunter), she has two more pictures waiting for her (The Cobweb and [To] Catch a Thief). Perhaps atomic-age audiences feel some vicarious reassurance and stability in watching her restrained behavior and gazing into the cool stream of the Kelly face - what many call a classic English type. It makes a nice Hollywood switch-ending to recall that this classic English type is really the daughter of the Philadelphia Irishman who once angrily mailed his sweaty green cap to Buckingham Palace.
